The
Siberian Husky' is a large
dog breed that was developed in northeastern
Siberia for its ability to run long distances in the snow pulling moderate amounts of weight. The Siberian resembles the larger
Alaskan Malamute[?] and is used in polar and sub-polar areas for working and
dog sledding[?]. The Siberian has a double coat that requires a thorough brushing about once a week to keep it clean. The dog preferes to live outdoors so owners that plan on kepping their Siberian inside should be sure to take the dog outside for long periods of time.
