Grooming
Siberian Huskies are considered a 'natural' breed. They are remarkably self-cleaning and often need only a few baths a year, unless they are shown in conformation dog shows. Weekly brushings help keep the coat and skin in good condition. Siberians have a double coat, 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 foot problems. Siberians competing in conformation require a bit more selective grooming for the best presentation. Huskies can withstand temperatures as low as -58 degrees to -76 degrees.
Living Conditions
This breed loves to run and will roam if given the chance. It is a very social dog that must have human or canine companionship. This breed prefers to live in packs with others, whether it be other dogs or humans. Siberian Huskies are very active and do their best with a large fenced-in yard. They are not recommended for apartments. Because of their adaptability, these dogs are suitable for living in hot climates.
Colors
All colors, from black to pure white, are possible, including many striking patterns not found in other breeds. The face mask and underbody are usually white, and the remaining coat can be any color, from wolf-gray to silver-gray or from sandy brown to dark red. Siberians have eyes that may be brown or blue, one of each or Parti-colored.
