The Siberian Husky is a fun-loving, adventurous, independent, and stubborn dog with a sweet temperament. This is a great family dog because of their friendly disposition. Though the odd Siberian has been trained to obey commands and not pull on a leash, it is important to realize that this is the exception and not the rule. Don't expect to find any guard dog abilities in this breed; they greet everyone they meet with a warm smile.

The coat of the Siberian Husky is virtually odourless, but they are heavy shedders in the spring and summer. Their coat allows them to withstand the coldest temperatures that can be found on this planet. Their claim to fame is their amazing pulling endurance and their lightning speed. It is important to note that they still retain these qualities to this very day, so plenty of exercise in a fenced area is important.
