History – The Siberian Husky is widely believed to have originated exclusively with the Coastal Chukchi tribes of the east-Siberian peninsula. There is evidence, however, that Siberian dogs were also imported from the Koryak and Kamchadal tribes.

The Siberian Husky was developed as endurance sled dogs. In 1900s the Americans in Alaska heard of this superior breed of sled dogs and In 1909 the first team of Siberian Huskies made its first appearance in the all Alaska Sweepstakes Race. 1910 saw Charles Fox Maule Ramsay, and his team, driven by John "Iron Man" Johnson, winning the grueling 400-mile race

AKC recognition of the Siberian Husky was granted in 1930 and the first AKC registered Siberian Husky was named Fairbanks Princess Chena.

Appearance – Smaller than its cousin the Alaskan Malamute, the Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog, quick and light on his feet and free and graceful in action.  His moderately compact and well-furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage.  His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless.

Siberian Huskies have a dense double layer coat that comes in a variety of colors and pattern usually with white feet and legs, facial markings, and tail tip. Eyes may be brown or blue in color; one of each or parti-colored are also acceptable.

Description – Owners of the Siberian Huskies are always asked if their dog is a wolf. Indeed the Siberian Husky does look like one, in fact it is said that this domesticated breed is closest in temperament to the wolf.

The Siberian temperament is outgoing, alert and clownish. Like most northern Spitz type breeds, the Siberian Husky seldom barks however they do engage in communal howling (just like wolves would do.
