I Love Nordic Dogs
Especially The Siberian Husky
The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working sled dog
breed. The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family. It is recognizable
by its thickly furred double coat, erect triangular ears, and
distinctive markings, and is smaller than the similar-looking Alaskan
Malamute. Siberian Huskies originated in Northeast Asia where they are
bred by the Chukchi people of Siberia for sled pulling, and
companionship.It is an active, energetic, resilient breed, whose
ancestors lived in the extremely cold and harsh environment of the
Siberian Arctic. Goosak, a
Russian fur trader, introduced them to Nome, Alaska, during the Nome
Gold Rush, initially as sled dogs to work the mining fields and for
expeditions through otherwise impassable terrain. Today, the Siberian
Husky is typically kept as a house pet, though they are still frequently
used as sled dogs by competitive and recreational mushers.
