There are few dog breeds as charming and enervating as the beautiful Siberian Husky. Related to the Alaskan Malamute and the wolf, the Siberian Husky is an extremely loyal dog built for hard work. His compact, muscular body and thick hair coat bring to mind the vast snow plains of Alaska and Siberia. Watch a Sibe in the first snow of the season, and it's impossible to miss the utter joy in his play. He will dig a hole in the deep snow and curl up for a nap, leaving his human companions flabbergasted.

In reality, the Siberian Husky is anything but the vicious creature his appearance suggests. This is a sociable, eager, but high-energy breed, difficult to keep under control in a suburban residential setting. Siberian Huskies do not take well to the typical chain-link enclosure. If they can�t climb out, they will dig under the fence to escape. They fare best on a wire runner, but don�t be surprised if your intelligent, crafty pup quickly masters the connecting snap or finds a way to remove his collar. Sibes need room to run, lots of exercise, and a job to do. This breed is not suitable for apartment living unless you are willing to put in the time to make sure that his need for activity is met. Hot climates are difficult for the Siberian, so if you live such an area, you may have to resign yourself to shaving the dog for most of the year.

While the Siberian Husky's coat does not mat up if he fails to receive a daily brushing, most dogs do enjoy a weekly combing and it's a good time to give your dog some hands-on t.l.c., helping to detect potential problems early on. Huskies also shed their coats a couple of times a year, where their thick and wooly undercoat will come out in clumps; a daily brushing during this time will help to free this dead hair from his coat and cause less of a mess to your furniture and carpeting.
