Siberian Husky
Information page
Siberians are relatively easy keepers, but their thick coats require weekly
rushing. New owners should be prepared to provide an outlet for exercise
instincts are strong, so Siberians should be supervised around small animals in
and around the home.

Size and Proportion
Male Siberians should weigh 45 to 60 pounds and female Siberians should
weigh between 35 to 50 pounds.

Head
Siberians Huskies should have a medium-sized head and medium-length
neck. These standards are described for optimal endurance. The well-
proportioned head and neck help the Siberian maintain proper balance and
control over the movement of his shoulders and front legs.

Ears
The Siberian husky standard established by the AKC calls for a well-furred
ear, which protects it from the Arctic cold.  The Siberian’s smaller ear,
compared with the German Shepherd dog’s large ear, for example, has less
surface area, making it
less vulnerable to the cold.  The erect ear, which allows fresh air and sunlight
to enter, keeps the interior dry, and makes it less susceptible to infection.  

Eyes
The frontal bones and the cheekbones of the canine head offer the most
protection to an almond-shaped eye, which fits nicely into the canine skull.  
The standard for the Siberian Husky calls for the diamond-shaped eye, the
eye shape found most  frequently among wild canines.  The official
description of the Siberian is one of the few AKC breed standards that
allows for a blue eye color.  Brown eyes, blue, or part-colored eyes (one eye
of each color) are all acceptable according to the Siberian standard.

Muzzle
The medium length of the Siberian muzzle describes a dog without excessive
or exaggerated facial features.  A long or very deep muzzle, like the
Wolfhound's of the Saluki', appears regal, impressive, and aloof.  A
shortened muzzle, like the Boxer's or the Bulldog's, doesn't properly warm
incoming frigid air and will not support the ease of breathing necessary for
load pulling over long distances.  Therefore, the Siberian’s
medium-length muzzle contributes to his performance capabilities while
keeping his expression "friendly, interested, and even mischievous" but not at
all pompous or removed.

Neck, Back and Body
The Siberian Husky should carry his neck slightly forward when he is moving,
propelling him in the direction of travel.  When he moves, his head should not
bob up and down, which wastes energy.  For an endurance dog, a deep
chest is critically important, because it houses the dog's hard-working heart
and lungs.  The proper depth of chest must be maintained well back along the
dog's body and not sweep upward in front of the loin too quickly, or the
shortened chest will diminish the capacity of the heart and lungs.  Although a
broad chest also provides comfortable housing for the heart and lungs, it will
impede the full follow-through of the front legs and inhibit the free-flowing gait
required for long-distance travel.  The standard for the Siberian Husky
denotes a deep chest with ribs well-sprung but flat on the sides.  A Siberian
with a "barrel chest" will not exhibit proper gait because his broad chest will
prevent his front legs from achieving full range of motion.  The Siberians back
should appear level but will actually be slightly higher at the withers than at the
croup but with another slight rise at the croup.  These tiny rises in the spine
add strength to those parts of the spine where the front and the rear portions
of the skeleton connect into it and help to deliver the momentum from the
thrust of the rear leg muscles to the entire skeleton.  Even with these slight
rises in the top line of the dog, the visual impression of the Siberian back is
that of a level top line that allows the transfer of momentum from the rear to
the front of the dog to occur directly and efficiently in the line of travel.

Tail
The Siberian Husky tail should curl up onto its body or around itself.  A
medium-length brush of hair covers the tail.  Excessive hair, or plumes, on the
tail is not consistent with the rest of the Siberians moderately long coat.   A
well-tempered Siberian who runs efficiently will exhibit the desired tail set and
carriage described in the standard.  Indeed, the Siberian tail tells the tale of
the performance capabilities of the entire dog.
