Intelligence
Siberian Huskies are highly intelligent, which allows them to excel in obedience trials, though many clubs would like to keep the Husky's instinct by doing sled-racing. However, because of their intelligence, they can easily become bored and may stop listening to commands. Many dog trainers usually attempt to avoid this behavior by keeping them busy with new activities. Also due in part to their intelligence, Siberian Huskies tend to be very observant of the actions See More▼ of people around them and have been known to mimic common household activities such as turning on lights with their paws and opening doors with their teeth. Some undesirable behaviors they can exhibit include opening refrigerators (and eating the food inside), climbing fences or digging tunnels in the backyard to escape. These behaviors can be prevented if the dog is given enough activity to occupy it. Huskies require both mental and physical stimulation for optimum health.

Shedding
The biggest aspect of Husky's that make people hesitant is their shedding. This is where the love has to come in on the owners part. When a husky sheds in the summer, their hair flares and you can grab it by the clump. As breeding becomes more advanced, Husky's are being breed to retain a very short coat in the winter and summer. So if you feel like you could love a Husky but not deal with the shedding it is smart to find a breeder that can get short-haired Husky's. See More▼ Harder to find but worth every penny.

Barking
Now when it comes to barking, this truly is where Husky's make a reputation. They do not actually "bark" often which is good. But they do love to let others hear their "Siberian music" or howling. Since this is a natural trait for Husky's be ready if you are planning on owning one any time soon. This can be a very difficult behavior to train but can be done...just not as quickly as training dogs to not bark. Also if you are more comfortable with quiet time in your home...Husky's See More▼ love to talk...all the time. You can tell them about your day and they will surely respond in detail.

Traits
Some common traits about Husky's is that they are naturally very gentle creatures that are extremely outgoing and intelligent. They can be independent pets when an owner is not around so they won't lull or experience separation anxiety like others. They are extremely friendly and eager to bond with their family when they are around. However, these dogs are somewhat difficult to train and do require a special person who is willing to be patient and persistent. But as anyone See More▼ who has trained a dog will know, this really could apply to any dog and varies greatly with each individual pet. Husky's are excellent with children and families of all sizes. They are not prone to lash out or exhibit aggressive behaviours.

Yay! Can I add some husky facts?
-They were originally bred for warming children, but during the gold rush, they were used as sled dogs, so whenever some people now think of huskies, they think "Sled Dogs"!
-Huskies have "heterochromia" which means that they have different colored eyes.
-Their life expectancy is from 10-14 years, which is a good length of time for a dog to live.
That's all~
