About the Husky
The Husky is a medium dog breed originating in Siberia (Russia). Adult dogs typically weigh 35 to 60 pounds and live 12 to 15 years. The breed is described as independent, high-prey-drive, vocal, escape-artist.
Active household with secure six-foot fencing, time for daily vigorous exercise, and tolerance for vocalisation. Cold climates are ideal. Apartment living, sedentary owners, households with small pets, or yards with field-fencing only.
Adult Huskys need about 75 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 90 minutes. The coat is double-coated with very-high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
