Siberian Husky.
Siberian Husky, breed of working dog that originated many centuries ago in that part of northeastern Siberia inhabited by a people known as the Chukchi. The breed is
used in Siberia as a sled dog, watchdog, and pet. In the first decade of the 20th century it was imported into Alaska, where it has since been used as a sled dog and
particularly in the sport of sled team racing; most of the present-day records of this sport in Canada and the United States were set by teams of Siberian huskies or by
teams led by dogs of this breed. In recent years, because of its unusual cleanliness, docility, intelligence, and graceful appearance, the dog has become popular in the
U.S. as a pet. The Siberian husky is a medium-sized dog. The male is from 53 to 60 cm (21 to 23.5 in) high at the shoulder and weighs from 16 to 27 kg (35 to 60 lb);
the female is 51 to 56 cm (20 to 22 in) at the shoulder and weighs from 16 to 23 kg (35 to 50 lb). The dog has a double coat; the undercoat consists of soft, thick fur,
and the outercoat is of soft, smooth hair that gives the dog a well-groomed appearance in contrast to the shagginess of other breeds of sled dogs, such as the Alaskan
Malamute and the Eskimo dog. The Siberian husky is usually gray, black, or tan; its color is varied by numerous markings, particularly about the head. The dog has a
medium-sized, moderately rounded skull; erect ears placed high on the head; brown or blue eyes, sometimes one blue and the other brown; a strong, compact body;
deep chest; strong, straight legs; and a bushy tail that trails when the animal is working or in repose and is held up in a sickle curve when the dog is at attention.
