There are two distinct types of Huskies: The Siberian Husky which is the pure breed and the Alaskan Husky which has been mixed with house dogs and hound dogs for improving their speed. The latter is smaller therefore faster. He is the most used dog in dog sled racing. He can also have blue eyes like the Siberian Husky.
Both are strong (low temperature resistant), athletic, friendly, and playful. They require a lot of exercise to be happy and healthy. They also live in packs.
