The Siberian Husky has a delightful temperment, affectionate but not fawning. this gentle and friendly disposition may be a heritage from the past, since the Chukchi people held their dogs in great esteem. housed them in family shelters, and encouraged their children to play with them. While capable of showing strong affection for his family, the Siberian Husky is not usually a one man dog. he exhibits no fear or suspicion of strangers, and will willingly greet guests cordially. This is not the temperment of a watch dog, although the Siberian Husky may unwittingly act as a deterent to those ignorant of his treu hospitable nature. The Siberian Husky is a comparatively easy dog to care for. He is by nature fadisiously clean and is free from body odor and parasites. At least once a year depending on climate the Siberian Husky sheds his coat, and is it then, when armed with a comb and a bushel basket, that one realizes the amazing density and profusion of the Siberian Husky coat. Some people feel that this periodic problem is easier to cope with than the constant shedding and renewal of many smooth coated breeds. There is one final characteristic of the Siberian Husky which we must point out-their desire to RUN. There are many breeds of dogs, which when let out in the morning, will sit in the yard all day. Not the Siberian Husky....Because of this we strongly urge that no Siberian be allowed unrestrained freedom.
