Also known as Husky
A tireless sled dog with a mind of its own
Bred by the Chukchi people to pull light sleds over long distances, the Husky is friendly, energetic and independent. It needs serious daily exercise, a secure garden, and a handler who accepts that recall will never be perfect.

Best-matched service
Around two hours a day, ideally including running or pulling work. Without it, expect chewing, digging and howling.
Rarely without risk. The breed has a strong chase instinct, so small animals should be supervised or kept separate.
Often not. They are independent, strong and escape-prone, which suits owners with experience and an active lifestyle.
