Siberian Huskies are energetic northern working dogs with endurance, a thick double coat, and a social, mischievous streak. They usually need secure containment, daily exercise, and outlets for running or pulling instincts. Huskies shed heavily during coat blows and still shed between seasons. They are not always huge eaters for their size, but food cost estimates should account for activity level and climate.
