In proper condition, with muscle firm and well developed, the Siberian Husky does not carry excess weight. In profile, the length of the body from the point of the shoulder to the rear point of the croup is slightly longer than the height of the body from the ground to the top of the withers. They are thick, well furred, slightly arched at the back, and strongly erect, with slightly rounded tips pointing straight up. The stop is well-defined and the bridge of the nose is straight from the stop to the tip. The muzzle is of medium width, tapering gradually to the nose, with the tip neither pointed nor square.
Lips are well pigmented and close fitting.
Teeth closing in a scissors bite. Any bite other than scissors. When moving at a trot, the neck is extended so that the head is carried slightly forward. The ribs are well sprung from the spine but flattened on the sides to allow for freedom of action. The croup slopes away from the spine at an angle, but never so steeply as to restrict the rearward thrust of the hind legs.
