The Siberian Husky is a breed of working dog that originated in Siberia, Russia. They are medium to large-sized dogs, with a length of around 20 to 24 inches and a height of around 20 to 23 inches. They have a thick, medium-length coat that can be any combination of colours, including black, white, red, and brown, and a muscular, athletic build.

Siberian Huskies are known for being intelligent, energetic, and loyal. They are protective of their owners and are generally good with children, although they may be more suited to households with older children due to their size and energy level. They are generally easy to train and can learn a variety of tricks and commands, but they may require patience and consistent training to overcome stubbornness.

Siberian Huskies are moderate maintenance in terms of grooming, as their coats are thick and may shed seasonally. They require regular brushing and occasional baths to maintain their appearance and keep their skin and coat healthy.

Overall, Siberian Huskies are a popular choice for families and individuals who are looking for a medium to large-sized, intelligent, and energetic companion. They are generally good with children and make great therapy dogs due to their calm and friendly nature. They are also known for their athleticism and are often used as working dogs in activities such as sledding, skijoring, and carting.

They are recognized by major kennel clubs, including the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC).
