Siberian Husky Training

Training should begin at an early age. Huskies have a tendency to be stubborn and inattentive due to their high intelligence.

Siberian Huskies are not recommended for apartment dwellers unless they are exceedingly well trained and sufficiently exercised.

Siberian Husky Grooming

The Siberian Husky has a medium-length double coat. The most common colors are black and white, gray and white, copper red and white, and pure white.

To protect them from harsh Arctic winters, the Husky has a thicker coat than most breeds. Their coat — which also reflects heat — can withstand temperatures as low as 76º F.

Grooming should be completed weekly.
