Siberian Husky 15

The Siberian Husky is a Spitz breed with origins in Northern Siberia; modern-day Russia. The working-class Siberian Husky, along with the Samoyed and Alaskan Malamute, are descendants of the original sled dog, the Eskimo Dog (Qimmiq). Originally, the Siberian Husky was used by the Chukchi people of Northern Siberian to pull heavy sled loads.

During the Nome Gold Rush from 1899 to 1909 in Alaska, this classic snow dog breed was imported and bred as working sled dogs. Along the way, they became well-liked family pets throughout Canada and the United States. The Siberian Husky is well-known for being able to sustain their strength while working in harsh conditions and is heralded as one of the most versatile and athletic working breeds.
