Be sure to bring lots of water when taking your husky out. Their dense fur serves them well in the winter but will cause them to overheat in the summer.

The cutest hiking buddy

Are these husky pictures making you smile? Huskies are very independent which can be both a good and a bad thing. Their love of exploration and running free will make them a great outdoor companion, but make sure you don’t let them feel too free or they may run away.

The gang’s all here!

Although this photo may say otherwise, huskies won’t constantly hound you for food. Even with all the exercise they require, they don’t require much of a food break like other breeds. This is attributed to their ancestors who worked all day with only the occasional break for food and water.

All smiles here

Huskies are very intelligent. They are hyper-aware of their surroundings and understand commands pretty quickly. That being said, if they don’t want to do something, they certainly won’t. Your commands are merely just suggestions.

This breed is very closely related to wolves as you can probably tell just by looking at them. A husky dog’s face shape, ears, and nose almost exactly resemble the wolf.

Hugs

As warm and fluffy as they are, huskies are strong. They were bred by the Chukchi Eskimos in northeastern Asia as sled dogs. As the nomads needed to expand their territory for survival, huskies were bred to pull loads over long distances in temperatures less than zero.

Huskies can find their way out of just about anything. They love to jump over fences, dig underground, and slip out of collars. This leads to many huskies becoming lost. Keep an eye on them!

Sleepy pups

Husky is a general term for several breeds of dogs used as sled dogs. Huskies were originally used as sled dogs in northern regions but are now also kept as pets. Historically, the word “husky” is a corruption of the term “Eskie,” also shared by the Inuit tribes. Huskies like to sleep curled up with their tails touching their nose. This position is known as the “swirl.”

BFF

Since huskies are pack dogs, they typically do very well in households that have multiple dogs—preferably another husky. But if you aren’t in a place to have a second dog, just make sure that you can give your husky the attention it needs.

You’ll want to pet a husky all day long with fur as soft and warm as theirs. Even though they do shed a lot, the fluffiness is so worth it. On the bright side, it will force you to vacuum.
