The dog, now called the Husky, was taken out by the Chukchi. They needed a breed that could carry a light load at a decent speed and long distances and could easily endure severe frosts. On a day, a 20-dog team could cover 100 km so that its owner could catch fish and bring it home.
It is believed that the breed has been worked on for three millennia. Good sled dogs were the wealth of the Chukchi family. Parenting and selection of puppies involved women. Puppies grew up with the children of the Chukchi, from here comes the centuries-old man-friendly character of a husky. And the man was accustomed to the team of grown puppies.
Of course, this is a ride like, with all the ensuing consequences. She is strong, muscular, looks very harmonious, with a thick coat, but not shaggy. In winter, a soft, thick undercoat grows. Color can be anything from snow-white to black. But where these dogs are used as sled dogs, they prefer dogs with a gray coat color - it is believed that such animals have better health, and, accordingly, they are more durable in riding. In general, something like a wolf is felt in the breed: the tail is always lowered; the dog prefers to howl, but not bark; it is characterized by a certain independence and independence in actions.
House behavior
Independent huskies, whose character is affectionate, calm and faithful, love the family in which they live. But only one member of this family is chosen for themselves. Get along well with the kids. They have a very plastic behavior that allows them to easily get used to new conditions.
They can live in an apartment if the landlord walks a lot with them. For living in an apartment, they have a big plus - their wool does not smell like a dog, they are not slobbery and do not create a mess in the house, they are very clean.
Husky is very calm about dogs of other breeds. But there may be problems when living under the same roof with animals of another species, for example, cats. The Siberian Husky retained a very strong instinct for chasing and killing. They can easily bully a cat living with them in the same apartment.
The Siberian husky, wherever he grows up, retains the inborn skills of a sled dog. They need to work hard. These are not guards and not service dogs, they hunt, but they will not bring game to the owner. They do not like to bark. Also, like all likes, they tend to run away wherever they want, so they need to be constantly monitored. If not for these features of husky dogs, their character for living in a city apartment would be just perfect.
Cute stubborn husky: character
By nature, these are very smart and smart, agile dogs. They learn teams easily. However, their independent and self-sufficient disposition perplexes their owners. The conditions in which this breed was bred made them smart, able to work in a team, but at the same time they can make an independent decision and act according to it. Often they tempt the master with their obstinacy, but do so out of a desire to find out what they can do and to what extent. Therefore, in the relations of this couple, a person should always be the master of the situation, the leader. But, in spite of everything, the Siberian husky breed, whose character is very friendly and accommodating, completely devoid of aggression towards other dogs and people, is now very popular everywhere. These dogs are very smart and energetic. In relation to strangers, they do not show fear. To live in an apartment, they need some elements of training.
