Siberian Husky

The Siberian Husky is a stunning breed with a thick coat, striking blue or multi-colored eyes, and a wolf-like appearance. Known for their intelligence and athleticism, they can be challenging for first-time owners. Many end up in shelters due to their high energy and need for patience. They are escape artists, requiring secure fencing, and need ample exercise to prevent boredom. Huskies thrive in family settings, enjoying social interactions and learning new things.
