The Husky has a gentle manner and even temperament. Husky is a term generally applied to any Northern sled dog; only the Siberian has it as part of his official name. He is smaller and lighter than the Alaskan Malamute and Eskimo Dog.
-
Like all dogs that must withstand a harsh climate he has a thick double coat.
-
His face is foxy, his eyes are set slightly on a slant, but not a as much as a Malamute’s.
-
His bushy tail is carried in a sickle curve over his back when he is running or standing at attention.
-
Like all Artic breeds he has a "snowshoe foot" meaning somewhat webbed to help him plow through snow.
-
He gives voice with a howl, rather than a bark.
