Waist: Tight, sloping, narrower than ribcage, slightly tucked in. Ribs: Well sprung outward from the spine, but flattened laterally to allow for free movement.

​Husky’s limbs

Forequarters: Viewed from the front when standing, the legs are well spaced, parallel, and straight. Good bone but not heavy. The length of the leg from the elbow to the ground is slightly longer than the distance from the elbow to the top of the shoulder blade. The dewclaws on the front feet should be removed. Shoulders: The shoulder blades naturally slope backward. The upper arm is slightly tilted from the shoulder to the elbow, not perpendicular to the ground. The muscles and ligaments are well developed and firmly connect the shoulders to the ribcage. Elbows: Close to the body, neither turned in nor turned out. Pasterns: Strong but flexible. Viewed from the side, the pasterns are slightly slanted. Hindquarters: Viewed from behind when standing, the hind legs are well apart and parallel. Dewclaws must be removed.

​Husky’s tail

Tail: Fox-shaped, well-coated, just below the height of the topline. When the dog is concentrating, it is usually raised over the back and bent into a sickle shape. When lifted, the tail does not curl to either side of the body or fold down against the back. Dragging the tail when resting is normal. The tail hairs are of medium length, with the top, sides and lower parts roughly equal in length, and look like a round brush.

​Husky gait/movement

The typical gait of the Siberian Husky is smooth and easy. It is light on its feet and will trot at a moderate pace when shown, thereby demonstrating the natural reach of its forequarters and the powerful drive of its hindquarters. When walking, looking from the front to the back, you can see that it is not walking in a single line, but as the speed gradually increases, the legs will gradually step inward, and eventually the foot pads will step on a straight line below the center of the body in the depth direction. Like the pads of the feet, the front and rear legs are raised forward, and the elbows and stifles do not turn in or out. Each hind leg moves in the same line as the front leg on the same side. When the dog walks, its topline is firm and even.
