Husky Story Husky Story

It takes its origins in the far east of Siberia, or as it was then called "The Land of Dogs". This area has long been famous for its traditions of breeding sleds, largely due to the fact that the dogs never went hungry: these places have always been rich in fish, which was their main food.

The powerful distribution of the breed began in the days of the Gold Rush (gold rush), first in Russia, then in the United States. The first Husky sled dogs in history were brought to Alaska in 1908, and already in 1934 the breed was officially registered.

Rock characterization Rock characterization

Due to the original purpose of the Huskies to transport people, the proportions of their bodies can be characterized as light, smooth, elegant. These criteria are important for maneuverability, agility, high speed dogs.

The size of the representatives of the breed is average: an increase of about 50-60 cm, and weight 15-28 kg. The body is compact, the body at the shoulders is slightly higher than that of the hind legs. The tail is lush, like a feather.

The neck is powerful and elongated, the chest is deep. The head is strong, with erect ears. Eyes planted not close and not far, almond-shaped. The color of the iris can be from blue to dark (even different eye colors are allowed).

Paws husky straight, tightly pressed to the body. On the fingers there are special pads that help them to run well in the snow. However, there is a risk of injury pads due to the long run. In order to avoid this, many owners wear special shoes to Huskies.

Coat of medium length with a thick undercoat. There is no clear frame in relation to color: the cover may be white, and black, and brown, with stripes and spots. The most common is considered black and gray-white colors. Not necessarily, but there may be a vertical strip above the nose and a mask.

Nutrition, content, education Huskies Nutrition, content, education Huskies

Nutrition husky is permissible only two types: dry food or natural products. Mixed type is not allowed. Feeding should be carried out strictly after a walk, as if the dog eats before it can turn the intestines.

Dog food should be chosen as high-quality, balanced and without preservatives. The natural type of food must necessarily include meat (about 60-70% of the diet), by-products (liver, heart, trachea, lungs), cereals, egg yolks, kefir and cottage cheese (necessarily fat-free), vegetables.

Keep husky recommended in a country house with a large territory. In the apartment she can be quite crowded. Walking should be very frequent, long (at least one hour) and active. It is better not to lower the husky off the leash, because of their love of freedom there are frequent instances of escaping an animal. When buying, you need to take into account the fact that they have no protective instinct at all. These dogs are too good to attack anyone.

It is possible to bathe an animal 1-2 times a year. You need to comb it regularly, especially during the season of molting (every day). The summer heat, in particular in the conditions of the apartment, the dog suffers heavily, so during this period it is better not to load it.

Husky training should start as early as possible. The main thing is to show the authority and strength of the owner, otherwise the dog simply will not listen to you. The strength of this is not worth achieving, it is better to speak in a commanding, stern voice.

Though very clever, the dog is not so easy to train because of her freedom loving nature: her own genes have their own decisions. Training should be conducted in a playful, rewarding manner.

The main thing is consistency and severity.
