Siberian Huskies have a wonderful temperament for a family pet
– as long as you know exactly what you are in for as far as training!
Siberians are generally as friendly as they are beautiful, making
them an ideal choice for all types of families. These dogs are
playful and affectionate, but not generally known a “one-person”
kind of dog. They will be social with anyone who is kind to them,
making them a good option with children, but a poor selection
as a guard dog. However, their intense appearance and size can
make them intimidating to strangers, so from this standpoint they
can prove to be an effective deterrent against intruders.
A Siberian can also be intelligent and willful, meaning that
he isn’t always quick to obey his master if he doesn’t see the
point in doing so. Training of this breed should begin as soon
as your puppy comes home to live with you, and should be followed
consistently as long as necessary. Siberians can be difficult
to housebreak, and take longer to complete the training – mostly
because of stubbornness rather than lack of understanding! These
dogs are extremely playful but can also get bored easily, which
can lead to destruction if not properly supervised. On the other
hand, they are always ready for a game with you or a walk through
the park – a strong advantage to the dog owner on the go. These
dogs are not generally recommended for first-time dog owners,
since training requires much persistence and patience, and mistakes
can be made early on that might be difficult to correct.
The Wanderlust Of The Siberian Husky
One of the most important elements to consider when you are thinking
about bringing a Siberian Husky into your family is the love of
running that this breed possesses. These dogs tend to be energetic
and somewhat nomadic in nature, and they will take off at the
first opportunity. For this reason, it is absolutely essential
to keep Siberian Huskies confined to a yard by a high fence, or
on a leash when out for a walk. However, this needs to be balanced
with plenty of exercise for your dog to keep him healthy and happy.
Exercise can be attained in a confined yard through play or on
a leash for a walk or hike.
Because of the intense predatory instinct of the breed, other
animals like cats are not recommended to cohabitate the environment
of a Siberian. Some unfortunate cats have lost all nine of their
lives at the paws of these hunters! On the other hand, these dogs
are extremely social, and enjoy having other dogs around. Keep
in mind that putting dogs together in one space tends to work
better when the dogs are raised together as puppies most of the
time. Sometimes this approach will even work with a Siberian puppy
and a kitten. There are cases where the two species have lived
together quite harmoniously, but the combination should be handled
with care and supervision.
If the temperament of this particular breed sounds compatible
to your home and family, consider the beautiful physical
appearance of the Siberian Husky as well. There are many colors
and patterns to the Siberians, and all are quite attractive and
graceful. Huskies are beautiful as well as friendly – and often
can be a wonderful addition to the family.
