The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog breed that originated
in eastern Siberia. Known for their ability to thrive in the arctic
cold, they can work and live in temperatures as low as 75 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit.
Despite their wolf-like appearance, they have a gentle temperament and
can be extremely affectionate, curious, and welcoming, characteristics
that make them poor guard dogs. Despite their affectionate nature,
they aren't as "eager-to-please" as other breeds and proper training
requires persistence and patience. They also have strong running
instincts and should never be left to run free off-leash as they have
no homing instincts and will run forever. Siberians also dig large
holes.
While Siberians make good family pets they're not recommended for
first time dog owners, as their strong will and desire to run are
difficult to manage without the right knowledge.
