Description
Dog Breed: Husky (medium coat). We took Nikolai to PetSmart today for an adoption event and he was fantastic! Nikolai jumped in the car and rode nicely the whole way. He loved walking around and exploring the store- he was not even the least bit stressed or nervous. He enjoyed watching the other dogs and meeting people of all ages. He was very calm and had the best manners. He was happy to sit and give paw at every opportunity for a tiny Charlie Bear treat (which we found are his favorite). He was particularly fond of being around the other senior husky called Kelsey. He seemed to want to engage with the baby husky who was there and part of another group. What a wonderful old gentleman who just needs a nice soft spot to land.

Overview:
The Siberian Husky is a striking and beloved breed, originating from Northeast Asia where they were bred by the Chukchi people for pulling sleds over long distances in harsh conditions. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their medium size, thick double coat (available in various colors and markings), and often captivating blue or bi-colored eyes. Their temperament is typically friendly, outgoing, and playful, making them generally good with children and other dogs. However, their independent and sometimes stubborn nature, coupled with a strong prey drive, means consistent training and secure containment are essential. While affectionate, their high energy levels and need for significant exercise make them less suitable for sedentary lifestyles or tiny apartments; a house with a securely fenced yard is often preferred. Health-wise, they are generally robust but can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia and eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy. Overall, a Siberian Husky thrives with active families committed to meeting their exercise and mental stimulation needs.
