The Siberan Husky is a working dog that is best known for its wolf like appearance and its role in pulling sleds over the frozen land. Bred and raised by Siberian nomads called Chukchi, they were fast and economical transportation for thousands of years.

The breed was quick and could master most if not every terrain. Their strength would lie in numbers when packs would work as a team in pulling sleds and covering great distances with minimal need of food. By 1908, the dog was introduced in Alaska word had gotten loose that there was a superior type of sled dog. In 1909, Siberian Huskies made its debut in the All Alaska Sweepstake Race. It is said that the average weight a Husky can pull on its own would be equivalent to its own weight. So if the dog weighed 60 pounds it should have the strength to pull approximately 60 pounds.

What a beautiful dog the Siberian Husky is! Having a wolf-like appearance, many people are just awestruck when seeing it for the first time. They have been featured in many films pulling sleds and overcoming frigid temperatures.  They are an embodiment of athleticism and power. However admiring the Siberian Husky for its looks is quite different from maintaining and keeping it that way.

Having a broom or vacuum cleaner handy will not solve the problem. Having a double coat of straight hair and a soft undercoat, these dogs really shed. An undercoat rake is recommended for the undercoat and may take an hour to get all the hair out. Next is to shampoo the dog and lather him up well. Rinsing all the shampoo out is needed to avoid irritations. Use a slicker brush after blow drying the coat dry to remove loose hair and give a smooth finish. Tartar removal by thrice a week brushing and trimming of nails is beneficial for all.
