Description
Dog Breed: Siberian Husky (long coat). Husky lovers, we know you will love meeting this gorgeous girl, princess! She is a rather hefty girl, one who probably needs a lot more exercise than what she has had. She absolutely loves running and cold weather, so combine that with snow and you will have a perfect companion for outdoor activities! Princess has been with livestock, and has done well with horses. She ignored them all together in fact, but smaller animals are a no-go for her. She appears to be fine with children, but because of her energy level, we would suggest that probably children over the age of six or seven would be better for her. She appears to be house trained, and does all right in a crate. She is in a temporary holding situation right now with other dogs and is doing great with them! She does know how to get through a fence by digging under, so must have a very secure method of containment in order to keep her safe. Princess would like to be your special royal companion, one who can go hiking when you are ready, and one who will benefit from some more recall training! (Because of her high prey drive, and her wanting to go after chickens, Princess was signed over to our shelter so that we could find her another place to live.)

Breed overview
Siberian Husky
A.K.A.: Husky, Arctic Husky, Chukcha, Chukchi, Chukchi Sled Dog, Sibe, Sibes, Sled Dog, Snow Dog
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.
