While as in all breeds there are some health issues, such as cancer and arthritis, the majority of Siberian Huskies are healthy dogs. The incidence of hip dysplasia and eye disease is relatively low as is the incidence of two newly discovered neurologic diseases. Bred to pull a light load at a moderate pace over great distances in low temperatures on the least amount of food, they maintain a healthy weight on less food as compared to other breeds of the same size.

He is by nature fastidiously clean and is free from body odor.<\/p>","akc_org_nutrition":"<p>Feeding a high-quality dog food is essential for the Siberian's healthy skin and coat. Adjustments in the level of protein in the food is required for the working Siberian, based on the level of activity. In the summer months, a lower protein level may be appropriate, around 20 percent, while a dog working in harness in wintertime may need 32 percent protein. Monitor each individual Siberian, and adjust the amount and type of food as required. Be careful not to overfeed. Monitor the weight of each dog, and be selective about supplements.<\/p>","akc_org_grooming":"<p>Siberian Huskies are considered a 'natural' breed. They are remarkably self-cleaning and often need only a few baths a year, unless being shown in conformation dog shows. Weekly brushings help keep the coat and skin in good condition. Siberians have a double coat'an undercoat, and guard hair. The undercoat is shed twice a year, and it is important to continually 'rake out' the old coat, using a pin brush and metal comb. Pay close attention to the length of the nails, and keep them trimmed to prevent any foot problems. Siberians competing in conformation require a bit more selective grooming for the best presentation.<\/p>","akc_org_exercise":"<p>Siberians are active, athletic dogs who need a lot of exercise. They are a working breed and happiest when they have a function to perform. Regular exercise is important both physically and mentally, and doing activities together strengthens the bond between dog and owner. Siberians were bred to run and will do so at every opportunity; it is vital to keep the dog on a leash, in harness, or in a fenced yard at all times. There are several AKC-sponsored activities that can be enjoyed by dog and owners'rally, agility, and obedience are a few. A busy and active Siberian is a happy and healthy Siberian. This breed is also very adaptable, and for those who live in a more urban setting, daily walks or doggie play groups can provide great exercise.<\/p>","akc_org_training":"<p>All breeds benefit from early socialization, basic obedience training, and learning good manners, and the Siberian Husky is no exception. For those owners who want to work their dogs in harness, training for this requires hours of dedication and patience. There are several good books available on training for the trail that provide advice and information on getting started. The best approach is to make all training exercises fun for both dog and handler. Siberians are very social, and regularly need the company of their people or other dogs; they are not suited to being left alone all day. Most importantly, Siberians have an overwhelming desire to run, and they should be on leash or in a securely fenced-in area at all times and never allowed off lead.<\/p>","text_yumove_link":"","test_1":"Hip Evaluation","test_2":"Siberian Husky Shaking Puppy Syndrome Type 1 (SPS1)","test_3":"Siberian Husky Polyneuropathy Type 1

Quick and nimble-footed, Siberians are known for their powerful but seemingly effortless gait. Tipping the scales at no more than 60 pounds, they are noticeably smaller and lighter than their burly cousin, the Alaskan Malamute.\n\n\n\n As born pack dogs, they enjoy family life and get on well with other dogs. The Sibe's innate friendliness render them indifferent watchdogs. These are energetic dogs who can't resist chasing small animals, so secure running room is a must. An attractive feature of the breed: Sibes are naturally clean, with little doggy odor.","mp_description":"Even if you're not planning on dog-sledding across Alaska, the Siberian Husky's agreeable, outgoing temperament make him a great addition to your family. The breed won America's heart in the 1920's, when teams of Siberians rushed serum to diphtheria-stricken Nome.

His moderately compact and well furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He performs his original function in harness most capably, carrying a light load at a moderate speed over great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this basic balance of power, speed and endurance.","title_2":"Head","description_2":"Expression is keen, but friendly; interested and even mischievous.

Faults - Ears too large in proportion to the head; too wide set; not strongly erect.","title_3":"Body","description_3":"Neck medium in length, arched and carried proudly erect when dog is standing. When moving at a trot, the neck is extended so that the head is carried slightly forward. Faults-Neck too short and thick; neck too long.

Viewed from the side, pasterns are slightly slanted, with the pastern joint strong, but flexible. Bone is substantial but never heavy. Length of the leg from elbow to ground is slightly more than the distance from the elbow to the top of withers. Dewclaws on forelegs may be removed. Feet oval in shape but not long.

The guard hairs of the outer coat are straight and somewhat smooth lying, never harsh nor standing straight off from the body. It should be noted that the absence of the undercoat during the shedding season is normal. Trimming of whiskers and fur between the toes and around the feet to present a neater appearance is permissible.","title_6":"Hindquarters","description_6":"When standing and viewed from the rear, the hind legs are moderately spaced and parallel.

The thrilling 'serum run,'\u009d reported breathlessly in newspapers around the world, won Sibes a popularity that has not abated to this day. Balto, who was Seppala's lead dog on the final leg of the journey, remains one of the most honored hero dogs in canine history.\n \n \n \n Mushers still keep packs of sledding Siberians for fun and sport throughout North America.

The Chukchi, isolated from the rest of the world, were able to maintain the purity of their sled teams for many generations. The dogs they developed were the direct forerunners of today\u2019s Siberian Husky.<\/p>\n<p>Siberians caught the eye of the public when they began winning sled races in the early 1900s, but they made headlines in 1925 when a legendary musher Leonhard Seppala led a relay of Siberian Huskies 658 miles in only five and a half days to rush a lifesaving serum to Nome, Alaska, where an epidemic of diphtheria had broken out. The thrilling \u201cserum run,\u201d reported breathlessly in newspapers around the world, won Siberians a popularity that has not abated to this day. Balto, who was Seppala\u2019s lead dog on the final leg of the journey, remains one of the most honored hero dogs in canine history; a statue of him stands in New York City&#8217;s Central Park.<\/p>\n<p>Mushers still keep packs of sledding Siberians for fun and sport throughout North America.
