Q. How much do they eat?
A. The actual amount of food will vary depending on the metabolism and activity level of the dog, and the type of food that is given. A working adult will eat five cups of high density food per day. Puppies require smaller, more frequent meals.
Q. Do they fight other dogs?
A. No, Siberian Huskies are pack dogs. As such, they communicate with other dogs in a variety of ways. However, poorly socialized and trained Siberian Huskies can be aggressive towards other dogs. For this reason, it is very important for a Siberian Husky owner to train the dog carefully and make sure to properly socialize it with other dogs.
Q. How cold of temperatures can Siberian Huskies live in?
A. Siberian Huskies can work and live in extremely cold conditions, approaching 60 below zero.
Q. How much exercise do they need and what kind?
A. You should not strenuously exercise a puppy under six months of age. Their play is enough to keep them healthy. Once the dog is six months old a puppy kindergarten is a very good idea. Siberian Huskies also enjoy jogging/running, but this should not be attempted until the dog is eighteen months or older. Hiking with a dog pack is great fun!
Q. Is a Siberian Husky part wolf?
A. No, the Siberian Husky is a domesticated pure bred dog and has been for many centuries. They are mistaken for wolves and they often used in movies to depict wolves, but they are most certainly not wolves or part wolf.
