Siberian Husky

About Siberian Husky

The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working sled dog breed. The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family. It is recognizable by its thickly furred double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings and is smaller than the similar-looking Alaskan Malamute.

Siberian Huskies originated in Northeast Asia, where the Chukchi people of Siberia bred them for sled pulling and companionship. It is an active, energetic, resilient breed whose ancestors lived in the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic. William Goosak, a Russian fur trader, introduced them to Nome, Alaska, during the Nome Gold Rush, initially as sled dogs to work the mining fields and expeditions through otherwise impassable terrain. The Siberian Husky is typically kept as a house pet, though they are still frequently used as sled dogs by competitive and recreational mushers.

The Siberian Husky was originally developed by the Chukchi people of the Chukchi Peninsula in eastern Siberia. They were brought to Nome, Alaska, in 1908 to serve as working sled dogs and were eventually developed and used for sled dog racing. In 2015, a DNA study indicated that the Siberian Husky, the Alaskan Malamute, and the Alaskan husky share a close genetic relationship and were related to Chukotka sled dogs from Siberia. They were separate to the two Inuit dogs, the Canadian Eskimo Dog and the Greenland Dog. In North America, the Siberian Husky and the Malamute maintained their Siberian lineage. They had contributed significantly to the Alaskan husky, which was developed through crossing with European breeds.

Unlike its relative, the modern Siberian husky, the Chukotka sled dog was not bred for its appearance but for its strength. It is little-known outside Chukotka in Russia.
