Husky Character

The people of Chukchi, in Siberia, first used the husky as sled dogs and pets. In 1909, huskies were brought to Alaska where they were used in sled dog races, but in 1925 a terrible bacterial disease spread in Nome, a village in Alaska. Huskies were used to transport sick patients to hospitals. The huskies had to face terrible snowstorms and blizzards during the journey.

Huskies are loving, welcoming, smart, and playful dogs. They are mostly known for their friendly behaviour, and they make loyal dogs for people who have an active lifestyle. Huskies are also independent, and love exploring mostly because they have lots of energy. Huskies might be independent, but they want your attention most of the time. Huskies are a similar to babies, they can play with toys by themselves, but want your attention.

Everything you Need to Know About Huskies

Huskies might look like wolves, but other than their looks, they are nothing like them. An average husky’s height is 34-40cm, and they weigh 16-27 kg. Their life span is around 12-15 years, which is longer than most other dogs their size. Huskies love to exercise, so 2 hours of exercise would be perfect for them. Huskies can eat meat, fruits, rice, vegetables, and eggs, unlike wolves.
