Huskies from D and J Kennels

The Siberian Husky is a member of the Spitz family. He is a medium-sized working dog and stands 23 1/2 inches tall at the shoulder. He has a thick double coat that is medium long and comes in all colors including white. He will "blow coat" a couple of times per year and brushing  several times per week is necessary.

The Siberian Husky has a sweet nature and is a breed suitable for anyone who does not mind a dog who is playful, challenging, and independent.  The owner of a Husky may need to exercise considerable patience when training. Boredom in this breed, like many others, can lead to destructive behaviour. This is an active, energetic worker who requires a lot of exercise to stay in shape.

This breed does have a roaming instinct and needs to be kept in a fenced-in area. Because of his thick coat, the Husky does better in cooler climates and can live happily outdoors. A friendly, gentle dog, the Siberian Husky is a dependable and playful pet. A born sled dog, he will happily pull a young child in a wagon or sled.
