A Look Back
Siberian Husky is widely believed to have originated from within
the Chukchi Tribe, off the eastern Siberian peninsula. These
dogs were used in 1908 for the All-Alaskan Sweepstakes, which
consisted of a 408 mile long dog sled race, and served in the
Army & Arctic Search and Rescue Unit during World War II.
AKC Standards
Siberian Husky Breed Standard for the AKC is in the "Working
Group" which they were recognized in 1930.  Siberian husky’s
rang in size from 20 to 23 inches tall at the shoulder and 35 to 60
pounds The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog,
quick and light on his feet and free and graceful in action. His
moderately compact and well furred body, erect ears and brush
tail suggest his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is smooth
and seemingly effortless. He performs his original function in
harness most capably, carrying a light load at a moderate speed
over great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this
basic balance of power, speed and endurance. The males of the
Siberian Husky breed are masculine but never coarse; the bitches
are feminine but without weakness of structure. In proper
condition, with muscle firm and well developed, the Siberian
Husky does not carry excess weight. Weight is in proportion to
height.
