Shown here at 3yrs. The Siberian Husky is a Northern breed of dogs that typically have a wonderfully friendly disposition, neither people nor dog aggressive. They have a very thick coat that needs little care and does not mat or require brushing except when they shed. However, every Siberian owner knows why a Siberian is never cold when they see their dog shed for the first time. Siberians come in all colors, the most common being black, grey and red.
Eye color is also varied and ranges from whitish blue to dark brown.
The Siberian Husky is generally a very healthy dog, not being plagued with many of the skin, hip or heart problems of many breeds. Siberians are usually very sweet gentle members of the family and the typical properly tempered Siberian is predictably good with children. They are not protective by nature so they will not bite your children's friends when they are rough housing or attack an unsuspecting neighbor who jumps your fence. They are nomadic and nonterritorial though, the flip side of their being nonprotective, and so must be restrained by being fenced or on a leash at all times. As they are extremely intelligent, they get bored easily and if left without a source of amusement, will create their own fun which is likely to be digging out of the fenced yard, re-excavating the yard and garden or removing the house siding.
