This medium size working dog breed from Eastern Siberia, the Siberian Husky started as a sled dog but later on it became popular as a family-companion and also a show dog. This dog, from the Spitz family, is a descendant of the sled dog. They are also used for racing and by hikers for pulling a skier. They were brought to Alaska after being used by Siberians for centuries.
The free Siberian Husky puppies especially have lots of energy. They are gentle, friendly, intelligent, a bit stubborn and get bored easily.
