 Siberian
Huskies are not just your average dog. They are highly intelligent,
sensitive, and energetic. To a Siberian, running is what
they live for. They were bred to run, and will find a way to do it on
their own if they cannot do it with your supervision. Huskies
require daily exercise.
Siberian
Huskies are bred to run and run fast. They can go about 18
miles per hour pulling a grown man. If they get away from you--don't chase
them, they will think it is a game. Better to sit down where you are at
and call to them to come, or run in the opposite direction while calling
to them and get them to chase you. If none of this works get in your car
and follow. The point of this paragraph is Keep your husky on a
leash or in your yard.
Siberian
Huskies can disappear like magic. I have often said,"If you can
see over the top of it, plant grass under it, or pour water through it, a
husky can get out of it." Huskies escape most often when left alone,
they will go looking for you. You are their family and their security.
They will also take a stroll if not exercised daily. A husky is not
running away from home when he leaves, he is just running. And if you are
lucky and a human or a car does not stop him, he'll be back.
Unfortunately, because of their love of people and lack of caution they
often wind up lost or dead when they get out of their own yard.
Always make sure your fence is in good repair and your gates are securely
closed.
Siberian
Huskies have a high predatory instinct. Most often they are not good with
small animals such as cats and rabbits. Some have been known to get along
with all creatures great and small, but usually huskies find smaller
animals to be nothing more than chew toys.
Siberian
Huskies are sometimes destructive in the backyard. This is more true of
puppies than adult dogs. Siberian puppies dig and chew due to their high
energy level. Sometimes this subsides with maturity, other times it only
tapers off a bit. If you are a big fan of ornamental plants or your yard
is full of topiary, you may have to take a little more time choosing
your siberian. Watch your dog and remember. Digging is not an
unusual trait, though it is not a trait shared by all huskies.
Siberian
Huskies are gregarious and loving. By nature Huskies like to live in
groups, make sure your dog is included in family fun. They give all of
their heart to their families, usually for the price of a couple of scoops
of kibble and a daily walk. This is a great bargain. Huskies sometimes
challenge their new owners. But, once you have shown them that you are the
boss, and that they can count on you--you will not just own your dog, you
will have EARNED him. A husky is a wonderful family pet. They are as
charming as they are beautiful.
