Despite their tough, wolf-like appearances, Siberian huskies are incredibly friendly— sometimes to a fault! Anyone looking for a husky guard dog will be sorely disappointed because huskies are simply too friendly and too trusting of strangers. The upside to this charming character trait? They make amazing furry family members. So, if you live in a cooler climate, have a big backyard (a pup's gotta get his energy out somewhere), and have kids, a husky might be the perfect pick for your family. They make the BEST of friends
If you have a husky, you know she's very talkative—they're known for their jabbering, groaning, and grumbling. But did you know a husky's howl can be heard from a whopping 10 miles away? Talk about chatty, huh?
Blue eyes are pretty rare in most dog breeds (unless the doggy in question has the merle gene, which prevents pigment from fully developing in the eyes and coat), but many huskies are born with bright, blue peepers. Heterochromia—or eyes of two different colors—is also fairly common among huskies, and often results in blue, gold, brown, or orangey-colored eyes.
