Ten Most Interesting Siberian Husky Facts

Posted on by

The Siberian Husky is a Spitz type Arctic dog originating from, as its name suggests, Siberia. This is one of the most famous dog breeds in the world that will literally charm you at first sight with its gracious stance, wolf-like appearance and cute gaze. But, it is not just about the beauty of this dog. Huskies are also well-known after their incredible personality, which is highlighted by huge affection for humans, lively spirit and pack loyalty. These qualities make them excellent family companions, who like to spend as much time as possible with all the members of the household. They are particularly nice and tolerant with children. On top of that, Siberians possess great working qualities, considering how incredibly agile, strong, resourceful, and hardy they are.

This is why it’s never easy to make such corrections, and it’s even harder with independent primitive dogs such as a Husky.

You cannot fathom how much love and respect I have for this dog. I will be honest with you, when I brought her home for the first time, I didn’t have a single clue what kind of dogs are Huskies.
