The first of the dogs arrived in the Americas 12,000 years ago around the commencement of the Holocene period, however people and their dogs did not settle in the Arctic until the Paleo-Eskimo people 4,500 years ago and then the Thule people 1,000 years ago, with both emigrating from Siberia. The Siberian Husky was originally developed by the Chukchi people of the Chukchi Peninsula in eastern Siberia. The undercoat is often absent during shedding. Their thick coats require weekly grooming.Siberian Huskies come in a variety of colors and patterns, usually with white paws and legs, facial markings, and tail tip. The most common coats are black and white, then less common copper-red and white, grey and white, pure white, and the rare 'agouti' coat, though many individuals have blondish or piebald spotting. Some other individuals also have the 'saddle back' pattern, in which black-tipped guard hairs are restricted to the saddle area while the head, haunches and shoulders are either light red or white.
