Siberian Huskies are pretty quiet dogs. It is not typical of the breed to be big barkers. They do talk and howl in a soft "woo woo woo" sound. If you have more than one Husky, you will sometimes hear them howling together, starting and stopping simultaneously. Since the Siberian, like other northern breeds, are very pack-oriented animals, this behavior is typical. See similar questions...

Yes and No. Of all the shortcomings to be found, the most dangerous to the pet owner is their tremendous desire to RUN! But the very first dash that a puppy makes across the road could be his last run, anywhere. A Siberian, for his own protection, should be kept confined or under control at all times. Siberian Huskies are very intelligent dogs. They will often do things that will surprise you. See similar questions...

The Siberian Husky has a delightful temperament, affectionate but not fawning.

Most adult dogs that chew destructively are usually relieving stress. Other symptoms of stress include excessive barking or digging. All puppies chew, especially if they are teething. As adults, BMCs are usually not "chewers" and are content with toys like nylabones or Kong toys. Some lines of BMCs bark more than others, and you should ask the individual breeder about his line.

The incidence of cataracts in the breed is around 15 - 18%. See similar questions...

No. The Siberian Husky is a domesticated pure bred dog and has been for many centuries.

stated repeatedly throughout this document, Siberian Huskies are remarkably adaptable animals. So long as they have adequate shade, shelter, and water, the seem to do just fine in warmer climates. One important note: no matter how hot you think your Siberian is, DO NOT shave him/her! Their double coat insulates them against the heat as well as the cold. You would be doing more harm than good to shave the dog. See similar questions...

Siberians have been known to do their share of digging, chewing, jumping, and escaping. Digging holes is a pastime of many Siberian Huskies. Some will have no problem in a fenced-in yard. Others will dig out from under the fence, jump 4 foot fences, or try to find a way to escape so they can run, even if they have to chew their way out. If your dog's outdoor run isn't on cement, I wouldn't leave the dog unattended in the yard unless he is tied up, or you might never see your Siberian again. See similar questions...

First, the Siberian Husky instinctively has a high prey drive. They will hunt and even stalk something they are interested in. When it comes to cats they generally ignore them, until the cat runs from them. When this occurs it sets off that prey drive I mentioned. Immediatly the husky goes into a different mind frame. The instinct to run down their "prey" takes over. Secondly, a cat rather than a husky is primarily more meek and less self assured. See similar questions...

Oh my! Here on the farm, when pulling up to our home, you'd think it's Fort Knox! That's what it feels like. Initially, we didn't have any fencing. We parked a trailor and lived in it while we built our home. During that time we just had Sky. She had complete run of the farm. There were no problems with this until she was about a year old. Our neihbors had 16 ugly, smelly, stinky ducks. Sky took to eating them! Yep, she loved them. See similar questions...

I have two cats that my siberian husky has been brought up with since he was 8 weeks old, and I have managed to teach him to respect them, BUT I have to admit that I wudn't trust him left on his ow own with them apart from when I am in the house to supervise or when I am asleep at night. It is in their nature to kill small animals, soo if the worst happens you cant blame your husky ! They will not change, you have to stop bringing small animals which they sees as fair game into her domain. See similar questions...
