Siberian Husky
The breed is known for its good temperament and its suitability for a family environment. They need company and should not be left alone for long periods of time or they can become very destructive. They will be happy with other well-adjusted dogs but are keen and efficient hunters, so contact with other household animals requires careful handling and training. Though they do not often bark, they will howl for the joy of it.

Siberian Husky
This breed was employed by the Chukchis of the Kolyma River in Siberia during the 19th century. As dog sleds were the principal means of transportation, the Huskies were critical to the natives. The first Siberian Huskies arrived in Alaska in the early 20th century. Sled racing became popular at about the same time, and the breed's speed amazed and inspired dog racers in the United States.
