Interesting facts about Siberian Husky

Ancient Heritage from the North

This medium to large-sized dog breed has a long history starting from the descendants of the Chuckchi sled dogs from Siberia. Siberian Huskies being a part of the indigenous Chuckchi people’s lifestyle have developed a lot of traits that make them hardworking and strong over 3000 years.

Speaking eyes of the Huskies

While most dog breeds have the darkish brown or black eye colour as the common colour, Siberian Huskies have blue eye colour as the common colour in their breed. Their two eyes can have two different colours or heterochromia which is rare in other dog breeds but uniquely common in Huskies.

Champion howlers of the night

Singing or night howlers, Siberian Huskies can win a medal for it. Being a very vocal dog, their howling can be reminiscent of their wild ancestors. Some might find it different but this is their unique way of communication and response to certain types of sounds.

You can expect more howling rather than barking from a Siberian Husky.

Weather-resistant blowing coats

Call it the magic of nature, Siberian Huskies have a double coat that provides them insulation and ensures that they are warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. Being a furry dog breed, Huskies experience the heavy shedding of their coat twice a year.

Celestial Namesake

Having a rich history in the northern Siberian Region and being a part of the Chuckchi clan, their name Husky is derived from the word “esky” meaning “ a dog you feed” in the Chukchi language. They have an ethereal appearance and celestial name and their presence in the Chukchi mythology adds a name to their mystique.
