Siberian Husky

Breed History

The Siberian Husky breed started its iconic history from the Chukchi people of Siberia. These dogs were developed as sled dogs capable of enduring the harsh environment of the Arctic.

Sibes were considered more than just working dogs, as they were also valued as family. They tend to sleep beside their owners for warmth during freezing nights.

These dogs caught the world's attention in the early 1900s when they were imported to Alaska for sled dog racing. Their speed, agility, and stamina quickly outshone larger freight dogs.

Today, these dogs are considered one of the most loving and loyal dog breeds in the world.
