Siberian Husky Care is a Special Calling

A primitive, loving, and beautiful breed, the Siberian Husky is also unlike other dogs. The deep bond with humans was forged over thousands of years in the frigid cold of Siberia. That bond and extreme cold also fed the independent personality, prey drive, and innocence that are other hallmarks of this distinctly different breed.

Siberians are not for just anybody.

If you've been living with a Siberian Husky for any length of time, you know that they are not like other AKC breeds. That same extreme intelligence, loyalty, inquisitive nature, intense beauty, and playfulness that attracted you to them in the first place can be the very reason you're ready to tear out your hair in frustration.

Don't get rid of your Siberian. Learn how to care for that special breed, and turn them in to that wonderful family member you dreamed of when you first decided on your Siberian.

Why are they So Difficult?

The Siberian Husky is a primitive breed. They were bred over the millennia to do a job in the great expanse of the Siberian wilderness, but not necessarily in the manicured yards and carpeted homes of today. Try to be understanding that there are many natural urges you'll have to train out of them simply because they are still such a primitive breed.
