Husky are nice, big dogs with striking blue or brown eyes. Siberian husky dogs are very energetic and active as they were bred to work and born to run. If a husky is independent, it loves people.
Appearance
Husky dogs are of a medium size (from 20 to 24 inches tall), their weight ranges from 35 to 65 pounds. Siberian huskies look like real wolves but with stunning, bright blue or brown eyes. Ears are prick. Bodies of huskies are massive and athletic with a thick coat (it consists of 2 layers: in spring they lose most of the undercoat). Colours of coat is mostly black and white, or silver and white.
Temperament
As a rule, huskies are: independent, clever, vocal, stubborn, friendly to most people, impulsive, loving, neat.
Grooming
Any husky dog must be groomed once a week, thus, you’ll remove all dirt and other unnecessary things. When huskies are shedding it’s better to brush them more often.
You can’t own husky IF:
- you have small children, cats or dogs – huskies can be aggressive to them;
- you live in an apartment or a small house without a yard – huskies adore running, playing, roaming, otherwise, they can run away or express their energy in a very bad way;
- you are looking for a watchdog – huskies are big, but not reliable in these cases of emergency;
- you are dreaming about a quiet dog – Siberian huskies don’t bark a lot, but they adore yelping and howling, like most wolves.
There are numerous movies about these unusual dogs: Snowdogs, Kevin of the North, Balto, White Fang, The Call of the Wild, Eight Below, Born to Run: The Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Huskies are real movie-stars. And there is a great variety of books as well: Husky in a hut, Siberian Huskies 2008 Calendar, Siberian Huskies for Dummies and other.

What if you raised a Husky with another breed of dog like a Greenland Dog or a Finnish Lapphund or others from puppyhood? Wouldn’t the Huskey then be friendly to dogs? Because how else can they pull sleds if they’re not fond of other dogs? And I (personnally) have been dog-sledding when I was roughly 14 I’m thinking. And pretty much still a child. =) I was able to walk up to these very friendly dogs and pet them even hug them…. So I’d think if you socialize them with both other dogs and children when puppies and when they’re in their early adolecent ages they’d be very good dogs to have in a family or a pack of dogs. But that’s my personnal opinion
No offence meant in any way here I hope =)

Ive had a husky for a while now and i raised it around a shitzu. They’re the bestest friends. Not to mention I have twin brothers who are six and ride and tackle her all day. She’s never bitten them, in fact she makes a game out if it and plays tag. I’m sure there are exceptions to the no small dogs or children rule depending on how you raise the pup.
Thanks for your comment )))
M What up B lol Lmffao
Byee

THESE HUSKIES ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think by “not friendly” people mean they are very hierarchy-minded. But all dogs are, they all must establish who is on top. Huskies are just more adamant about it.
i have a husky he is 3 1/2 mo old he wants to bite all the time will he grow out of this
My pup did that when I first got her but I kept smacking her mouth softly and telling her don’t bite. Eventually she learned what no bite meant and I don’t have this problem. They’re really intelligent animals they can just be stubborn. Make sure you don’t let them have exceptions or else they get confused at if they can or can’t do it.
Stanley- your husky is a puppy and teething. Yes, he should grow out of it, but try the following to train him:
-When he bites you, yelp like another dog very loudly and turn your back to him, stopping play immediately. When he calms down, the you can initiate play. This is how his litter mates would have taught him that teeth are sharp and hurt.
-Everytime he gets mouthy, also try giving a firm “No!” and replacing your hand in his mouth with a toy or bone that is acceptable to chew.
Read up on training. It will help. Most issues don’t just “go away.” You have to put a little work into them.
i have a male husky he is a yr old and has stard bitn and im worried he will do it on a young child plz help as i dont 2 get rid of him
I don’t know, but most puppies love to bite, just don’t let it bite your limbs, juts give them a toy. I think its just teething.
i have a husky/part wolf, he is a very friendly dog to kids, but he don’t like other people, he has bit my wife, not hard, but to let her know to back off
hello
my name is sarah, i am from the UK and just purchased a husky pup of 11wks. He keeps nipping when playing and chewing things. I hold his jaw shut and giv him a firm no, he is learning. It is never to early to start training a husky, if you start too late you will end up with a realy stubborn dog. I am trying to house train him at the minute. When he goes and does his business in the rite place i say he is a good boy and giv him a biscuit if he doesnt he gets told no and put where he should do it. He learning slowly now though. I suggest before you consider buying a husky you really need to do your homework they can be hard work.

Will our huskie ever get along with our two male(meutered) Chi’s who were here first? The Husky is a stray…..
I dont believe that these dogs are that mean. My mother has a full breed siberian husky who is 3 yrs old. My mother has 14 grandchildren the dogs love all of them. He even allows the young ones who are between 1 an 3 yrs of age to lay on him. Altho he is very protective of my mother he is friendly to almost everyone who comes around. An i think if raised with young child and other animals when the are a pup helps as well cuz she has several other animals including cats and he plays with them.
We have a 3 year old husky cross and 2 children 2.5 years old and 1 year old and if anything she is very protective of them. She is the sweetest dog I have ever seen / raised. We got her from SPCA so we don;t know what her other breed is, but she looks very husky. We got her when she was 7 months old and our son was 3 months old, but she has exepted him from the start. She is also very good with other dogs, off leash as well.
I have a sable and white siberian husky,(gramma might have been a siberian wolf/husky hybrid) with ice blue eyes, had her for for 5 months, raised well, she is a jewel of a dog, everyone including dogs, strangers, cats, grandkids are her best friends.. never growled or was aggressive to anyone except the fun “growltalk/wolftalk” to me.. beautiful girl.. She protects my my grandkids including the mean one.. took a while for her to bond with us, they are are a very devoted breed but knew that going in..
I have a 4 year old husky that loves to play. He is not aggressive in any way but appears that way because of his size.. If you are going to own a husky, you better be able to take him for long hikes at least once a week otherwise he gets bored. I have 1 other dog and two cats. I had 3 cats until the husky decided she was a playtoy. That cat is now dead but the husky didn’t mean to hurt her, it was just that he was to big for her to play with. I would be careful with animals or humans that are smaller than them because they are so strong but they do not mean any harm
I just got a stray husky and have given him away but he keeps coming back-claims of biting. I find him very friendly but humps everyone. My dogs, me, my friends, I just can’t find him a permanent home, in the meantime he lives with 7 ducks and a goose and doesn’t pay any attention to them.
I have a husky lab mix and he is a good dog except for the fact that he gets things and when you try to take it away he tries to bite and its not a play bite.he has bitten our daughter and Im going to have to take him to SPCA…I dont know why he does this…
I have a male husky that is 4 yrs and i have noticed recently that when fed fish he does not eat it he just takes it out of the dish and rubs his face on the fish has this happend to any of your huskys? and would love to know why? Thx
