Is the Siberian Husky right for you?
The Siberian Husky is a medium breed from the Working group, originally from Siberia. It typically weighs 35–60 lb and lives 12–14 years. Known for being loyal, outgoing, mischievous, it has high energy and high shedding, and generally does well with active, experienced owners.
Match the breed's energy to your lifestyle: a high-energy dog needs an owner who can meet that activity level. Factor in grooming for the shedding level, budget for food and veterinary care, and always meet a dog in person before committing.
