#1- Summary: Siberian husky first originated in Siberia, Russia. This dog was first developed by the Chukchi tribes in Siberia, and at first it was just a hard working kind of dog, that was used to pull heavy sleds for long distances. The usage of these dogs since half a million years ago in places with temperature below 0, and the long rides these dogs had to take, made their breed famous all over the world. Shortly they were used by the U.S Army’s arctic search and rescue efforts during World War II. Their good performance was the reason why they were constantly used from the U.S Army’ arctic search-and rescue efforts even after the World War II was over. Nowadays they still remain one of the best sled dogs, which are capable to win races because of their energy and power. Furthermore they are incredible pets, and great around people. According to American Kennel Club Siberian Husky ranks the 18th among best human companions.

Moreover this dog’s appearance is a strong quality that makes new owners to buy them even more. Their beautiful special eyes: black, green, blue, yellow or white make a first impression that is really hard to forget. Something very special about Huskies in general is that they can even have different colored eyes: black and blue, or blue and white. The increasing popularity of this breed is caused also from their familiarity, and the fact that they can perfectly adopt into a multi-dog family without being aggressive.
#3- Highlights:
They are very curious, therefore they can be lost sometimes while exploring something new.
Their temper makes them a hard-to-train dog, and it is not recommended to be purchased from a new unexperienced owner, unless the owner has a strict behavior towards them.
Siberian huskies enjoy howling, therefore they will bark rarely without disturbing. Watch out they are not a watchdog, so if you are looking for one, Siberian husky is not the right one.
Friendly, affectionate, and good-nature dog it what best describes most of the time this breed. They are perfect with children, but should never be left alone with a young adult.
This breed does not need a lot of food in order to survive, neither do they need lot of calories in their daily basis. They could get feed perfectly with normal dog food, and little treats with no sugar every now and then. So for people who do not want to spend a lot of money on their pets, but still want one; you might want to take a look at these beauties.
#4- Socialization:
As mentioned above this breed is perfect with children. It acts childish most of the times, loves to play games, and loves to act silly. Never forget that no matter how friendly or harmless a dog could be, you should never leave it alone with a child. In order to make your Siberian husky a perfect company for yourself and for the people around you it is highly recommended to take your dog into socialization classes where they are trained how to act around other dogs and unknown people. Through these classes they also will learn some basic rules how to listen to their owner, and how to behave with others. Remember; you as Siberian husky lovers should take some-time yourself to teach your pets’ basic things: how to sit, how to be quiet, how to give you their paws, and most importantly to come and sit with you on the couch to take a nap together.
#5- Hair, hair, hair:
Before getting a Siberian husky make sure to have a good vacuum cleaner that will be able to clean your house from all that long, dense hair that this breed has. It is usual for them to shed since they are energetic and all over the place all the time. They shed mostly during the shedding season, spring and fall, so prepare yourself to have a house covered with Husky dog’s hair. It is a good choice to take some time during this season and brush your dogs’ coat every day outside your house. This will rush their shedding season, and will somehow resolve your covered-in-hair house problem. For those of you who don’t know: Siberian Huskies who live in their natural habitat that is Northern region, tend to shed lees than those who live in warmer environments.
Since Husky dogs grow big, have a thick coat, and long hair, it is sometimes difficult to clean them. Husky owners have to take proper care for their pets, in order to keep them healthy. New owners do not have a routine how to keep Huskies clean, and that would be a problem. Because of hygiene, your dog can get sick or any infection. Here we have listed 5 easy steps to follow on how to keep your Husky dog Clean!
#1- Bathing:
Husky dogs have a protective oil in their skin that helps them to maintain body balance, and this is the reason why it is advised for Husky owners to give their dogs a waterless bath. The waterless bath involves a hard brush for their hair and shampoo. This type of water-free bath would help you keep your dog clean, and you should turn this bath in a routine for every week. When your pet gets extremely dirty, I think it is necessary for them to have a full bath.
#2- Hair Brushing:
Some people do not know but it is extremely important that all you Husky owners should brush your pets’ hair at least once a day. It is not recommended that you cut your dog’s hair, because it is hard for the dog to regulate their body temperature in winter time, or to get protected from the sunburn during summer. There are certain seasons when all you owners will need to brush your dog’s twice or more times during a day in order for them to have a healthier skin.
Just like humans, dogs need to have their teeth clean to be healthier. With dogs teeth brushing should became a routine from the moment you have a dog. It is recommended that you use special toothbrushes and toothpastes designed for dogs. This way your dog will get used to this routines, and it will be much easier for you as owners to brush your Huskies teeth. It is optional that you can also use dental chews. If you neglect doing this than plaque will built in its mouth, then it will be very difficult to get rid of it also it can cause periodontal diseases!

Alaskan Husky
Alaskan Huskies are usually somewhat larger than Siberian Huskies. Alaskan Huskies are usually leaner in build than Siberians. Siberians often have blue or any combination of blue and brown eyes, whereas Alaskan Huskies often have brown eyes.
It’s the cutest of them all. The most playful, joyful, the most friendly and stubborn also the most amazing and interesting appearance combined with their big cute smile and shining eyes. Even if this sounds so wonderful doesn’t mean that all of us are meant to have a husky as a pet. It requires lots of care.
After learning more about the Siberian, many have decided to only admire from afar, while others can’t get enough of them. Many Siberian Huskies have become strays, ended up in dog shelters, injured or worse on the road, become the neighborhood nuisance, or abused and mistreated because the owner did not understand the breed. For these reasons, it is important for any potential owner to learn about the typical traits of the Siberian Husky before entering the challenging commitment of living with one. While capable of strong affection for his family, the Siberian Husky is also very friendly with strangers. So, if you want the fierce loyalty of a one-man dog . . . don’t buy a Siberian. The Siberian Husky is not a watch dog, although those ignorant of his true nature may be frightened by his appearance. If you want a dog with aggressive guard-dog instincts . . . don’t buy a Siberian.At least once a year Siberians shed their coats. If you like fur all over the house and in the very air you breathe, then fine. If, however, you value neatness at all times, then . . . don’t buy a Siberian.
Siberian Huskies have a natural proclivity for digging holes in backyards. If you take great pride in your landscaping efforts . . . don’t buy a Siberian.
Of all the shortcomings to be found in Siberians, the most dangerous to the pet owner is their tremendous desire to RUN. But the very first dash that a puppy makes across the road could be his last run, anywhere. A Siberian, for his own protection, should be kept confined or under control at all times. If you are one of those people who think it is cruel to kennel a dog, or keep him confined in his own backyard . . . don’t buy a Siberian.
The more time you spend with a Siberian the more you will understand that there is usually a logical explanation for most of their outlandish behaviors. While the Siberian will not submit quickly to your will and will insist that you prove yourself as a good and reliable leader, once you have earned his or her respect you will be rewarded for years to come.
If you have read this far, honestly feel that you qualify on all counts, and are still determined to own a Siberian, then we take great pleasure in welcoming you to the fold. Join the rest of us in the smug complacency of knowing that we own the most beautiful, the smartest, the most nearly ideal dog in the world . . . the SIBERIAN HUSKY
Puppies like biting everything, even you and your favorite belongings. To a little puppy, everything in the world is something strange, new and interesting. This means that like little babies, he wants to explore everything. So he will try to bite, to play with, and chew a new thing that he sees.
Smell and movement are especially irresistible to a puppy.
In addition, puppies have much energy of youth. They can keep doing and doing things without getting tired. After a sleep he is ready for playing and biting!! Here we have some good training tips to help your puppy stop biting.
Puppy Biting tip 1 – NILIF (nothing in life is free)
NILIF based on the perception that nothing in Life is Free. The best way to train your puppy is to create a strong bond with him and make him trust you. Nilif actually is, when we ask our puppy to do something and in return we award him whether with food, toys or affection.
A dog owner said: “I train my puppy to do some very simple commands”. Let’s check out what he did with his dog!
Look
Look simply asks your puppy to have eye contact with you for a short amount of time.
Showed him that I had piece of food
I said “look” and brought the food close to the level of my eyes.
My puppy followed the movement of my food
As soon as he looks, I mark the behavior and reward him with some food from my other hand
Touch
Touch asks a puppy to gently touch our hand with nose.
Again, I had some food in my hand and I showed that to my puppy
I closed my hand , move it a little and said “touch”
My puppy followed the food. He will probably lick your hand but ignore him until he touches it with his nose.
As soon as that happens, reward his behavior
Sit
Sit is a useful command that all owners try to pass to their pet. To train my puppy to sit I used the same method and it worked!
Firstly I showed my puppy that I had some food in my hand
I closed my hand and move it over my puppy’s head and he started following my hand so he took a sitting position ready to jump and catch the food
Repeat the motion until he gets a sit. Do not repeat the command. I only said “Sit” once.
As soon as he did it, I marked the behavior and give him the food from my other hand.
The dog owner said: “once my puppy understood these three commands, I asked him to do something each time before we do an activity. For instance,
Ask for a Look before a walk
Ask for a Sit before the food
Ask forTouch before a game
When my puppy bites, the owner said, I no mark his behavior and I hive him one alternative command (e.g. touch).
By using a lead you can control and stop puppy from biting.In general when puppies are playing they get so over excited that sometimes cannot stop biting. In such situations, we think that a drag deal can help you! Most of times when our puppy bites us we try to stop him with our hands and arms.
However, all this movement will probably make him get more excited and think that we are playing with him. In order to make him stop you should stay calm, do not shout or yell at him, and do not move your body. You can calmly pick up the drag lead and move your puppy into a quiet area where he can calm.
Do not use an aversive collar such as choke chain or a prong. Such collars should only used during walks. Make sure that the loop of the drag lead does not catch on objects in the house while your puppy is moving around.
Puppy biting tip 3 – Lots of exercise and play
As we said, Puppies are over energetic and have a lot of curiosity. If we do not provide to them interesting activities they will probably find their own, like little babies. Bored puppies will usually chewing on books, curtains, shoes, furniture and people.
In order to avoid such thing you should provide him a lot of physical and mental activities. Buy them a new toy and do not forget daily walks that are very helpful for his health. Another good idea is to let you puppy play with other puppies too. This is something that they really like and burns their energy.
Puppy biting tip 4 – Rules and Routine
Puppies can learn quickly and are eager to please. You can set up a routine for you puppy including food time, play time, walk time and sleep time. In this way, our puppy does not develop bad habits. You can also set some good house rules, such as:
No getting on furniture
No biting people
No guarding of toys
No bulling other dogs
Puppy time is precious and passes very quickly, so do not waste it! We hope that we help you! Good luck with you new puppy!! ( Via SHIBA SHAKE )
This is adorable. Siberian husky and baby having some amazing moments. Seems they are in love with each other. The husky care for this little baby like he is her baby. The baby looks like want to hug the husky but he is very small. I love to watch this video!!!
In Alaska the winter is frosty and the temperature descends dangerously. The snow and the ice are flooding the place and it is impossible to travel. In January of 1925, in Nome, doctors noticed some wired symptoms, a new infection makes its appearance, and it was called diphtheria.
Diphtheria was described as a deadly infection and unfortunately the serum for the treatment of the infection was miles away, in Anchorage. Planes could not travel and the only solution was traveling by dog sled. The Iditarod Trail tried to connect Nome with Nenana.
A big trip starts then by dog sled that it needs at list on month to be completed successfully, too long for a bad epidemic as diphtheria but it was the only hope that everyone had. A new race begins which later was called as the “GREAT RACE of Mercy”.
Leonhard Seppala had the best dogs in the whole place and he chose Togo a 12- year old dog as the leader of the pack whereas Gunnar Kaasen chose a younger 3-year old dog named Balto.
The serum arrived on January 27, the sleds changed from one team to another and the last team was led by Balto and Kaasen. Balto, proved that he was a strong and courageous dog and even when the sled‘s winds had broken up in addition to other dogs he did not give up. They arrived to Nome on February 2 and they managed to get much earlier than it was expected.
Everyone had contributed with his own effort to this life saving race, but Balto managed to be remembered in History and in our hearts. He gave hope and he became a symbol of courage and persistence.
He died in 1933, at the age of 14 but as we mentioned his story is remembered until today. The New York City’s Central Park honors him with a statue that thousands of people visit and at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History people can learn his story from an exhibition. Every year sled dogs from all over the world make races on honor of Balto!
