Siberian Huskies - Pictures - Appearance

Siberian Huskies have served people for many years and have earned a great reputation. They are valued highly for their strength, capacity for work, and friendly personality. It is uncommon for sled dogs to have such a light build, yet Siberian Huskies have managed to find their place in the row of intelligent working dogs helping man in his everyday life.

Siberian Huskies usually reach the height of 20 to 23 inches, males being larger than females. The breed is prone to overweight and needs appropriate rations. According to the standard, Siberian Huskies should not exceed the weight of 35-60 pounds. Dog lovers will inevitably admire the Siberian Husky's gait. It is light and effortless.

A light gait is provided by the whole of the breed's build. Siberian Huskies have a straight and powerful back, a deep but not broad chest, and a tail that is curved slightly when the dog is at attention.

Everything about the Siberian Husky should emphasize balance. The head that is neither broad, not too narrow should be in a good proportion to the body. Triangular ears are set high on the head and are always erect. The almond-shaped eyes express friendliness and independence, the core of the Siberian Husky personality.

Indeed, the breed is very friendly and loyal. It gets along well with other pets and is a good playmate for children. It is worth mentioning that the Siberian Husky has never been used as a watchdog or a guard dog, though its strength is not to be questioned. The secret of the breed's loyalty lies probably in the fact that the Siberian Husky has always been meant to work in a team and could not allow the "luxury" of starting a little fight with other sled dogs.

Moreover, Siberian Huskies need a leader. Though rather independent, the breed is obedient to consistent trainers and is eager to please. In fact, Siberian Huskies enjoy work and cannot do without much exercise.
