A 1999 ASPCA publication shows the average life span of the Siberian Husky is 12 to 14 years. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals currently has the Siberian Husky ranked 155th out of a possible 160 breeds at risk for hip dysplasia, with only two percent of tested Siberian Huskies showing dysplasia. Dogs from the Anadyr River and surrounding regions were imported into Alaska from 1908 (and for the next two decades) during the gold rush for use as sled dogs, especially in the 'All-Alaska Sweepstakes,' a 408-mile (657-km) distance dog sled race from Nome, to Candle, and back.
