The Siberian Husky dog breed is popular family pets and show dogs. Siberian Huskies have a striking appearance which closely remembers that of the wolf. They are intelligent and wilful which will make training difficult. They have a strong hunting nature and will hunt and kill small animals, including cats, chickens, and even sheep. They are also prone to go off on long hunting trips and will sometimes not come if called. Therefore they shouldn't be left loose. They are excellent escape artists so it is best to inspect their enclosures. They are trainable but considerable patience with them will be necessary. Even so it is not guaranteed that they will immediately obey any command given.Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog's actual behaviour. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.
