Siberian Husky dogs are strong, hardy, intelligent working dogs. Siberian Huskies are native to Siberia and they were brought to Alaska in 1909. In a cold, severe climate of Siberia, the Chukchi people used these dogs to pull sleds, to guide reindeer and also to perform the functions of watchdogs. Although the dogs are very light, they have got great stamina.
Fur traders in Malamute brought to North America this breed for arctic races because of their great speed. In 1925 there was a diphtheria epidemic in Nome, Alaska and many dog teams relayed the precious medicine to the stricken city. From that time on the popularity of the breed began to increase.
Siberian Huskies were also used during Admiral Byrd's Antarctic Expeditions as they are perfect working dogs for the harsh conditions: hardy, able to integrate into small packs, and quite happy to work for hours. As the Siberian Husky dog likes the company of other people and gets along well with other dogs, the dog has become known as a good companion dog. Nowadays Siberian Huskies are also used as sled dogs; they successfully participate in racing or carting as well.
