A Siberian Husky is not a Wolf or a Hybrid of a Wolf.
Siberian Husky, a thickly coated, compact sled dog of medium size and great
endurance, was developed to work in packs, pulling light loads at
moderate speeds over vast frozen expanses.
Sibes are friendly, fastidious, and dignified. The graceful,
medium-sized Siberian Husky's almond-shaped eyes can be either brown or
blue'and sometimes one of each'and convey a keen but amiable and even
mischievous expression. Quick and nimble-footed, Siberians are known for
their powerful but seemingly effortless gait.
Tipping the scales at no more than 60 pounds, they are noticeably
smaller and lighter than their burly cousin, the Alaskan Malamute. As
born pack dogs, they enjoy family life and get on well with other dogs.
The
Sibe's innate friendliness render them indifferent watchdogs. These are
energetic dogs who can't resist chasing small animals, so secure running
room is a must. An attractive feature of the breed: Sibes are naturally
clean, with little doggy odor.
