FACTS
Chock-full of energy and highly intelligent, the Siberian Husky will always be up for some adventure or any type of activity really, as long as they get to run and have some fun.
If you want a breed that loves being mischievous but playful at the same time, the Husky dog breed would be perfect for you.
PERSONALITY
The Siberian Husky is very much a working dog at heart - they are however friendly, gentle, and alert. They are not dogs who will ever shine in the obedience ring however — as they are independent, scorn training, and are selectively bred for one purpose. The Siberian Husky is active and agile — and as such can be difficult to keep as a companion dog. They are quiet most of the time as they don't bark — but they do howl which is a joy for most huskies (but not their neighbours!).
