Husky

1. Rich expressions

Huskies are beautiful in appearance, and their exquisite facial features and rich body language are full of unique expressive abilities. They can make us deeply feel their emotions without complicated conversations.

Expressions of excitement and happiness: The most common way for Huskies to show excitement and happiness is to swing their tail vigorously and jump to high places. Many times, Huskies will also express themselves by "laughing". The specific manifestation is that the nose is full of wrinkles, the upper lip is grinning, teeth are exposed, and the eyes are slightly closed, sometimes even narrowing into a slit (just like a human smile) The expression is the same as before), the eyes are gentle, the mouth is slightly open, the ears are stretched back, the nose is humming, the body is twisted softly, the coat on the whole body is smooth and not standing up, the tail is swinging gently, and it is close to people. Sometimes the ears naturally tilt back.

Angry expression: The Husky's facial expression when angry is almost the same as when "laughing". The nose is raised, the upper lip is grinned, and the teeth inside are exposed. The difference is that the eyes are wide open, the gaze is sharp, and the ears are slanted. Straighten back. Generally, the mouth is tightly closed and a threatening sound is made, the limbs are stamped hard on the ground, the body is stiff, the coat is erected, the tail is stretched steeply or straight, and it keeps a certain distance from people. If its front legs are down and its body is sitting back, you should be careful, as this indicates that it is about to attack you (I don’t know what you did to make our gentle husky baby so angry).

Expression when sad: eyes dull, head hanging down, moving closer to the owner, and looking at the owner with pleading eyes; sometimes he will hide in a corner or under a stool and become extremely quiet.

The expression of fear: the tail is drooped or sandwiched between the legs. This is the most obvious expression. The ears are stretched back, the fur on the whole body is standing upright, the eyes are wide open, the whole body is trembling, standing still or the limbs are moving uneasily, or even retreating.

The expression of waiting expectation: If the Husky swings its tail, stands calmly, and looks directly at you, it means that it is waiting for you to take it out to play or to feed it.

Expression of closeness to you: If the dog’s tail is raised and wagging constantly, its ears are erect, its head is swinging, its body is arched, and sometimes it reaches out to grab you, it means that it is affectionate with you and wants to play.

An attentive owner will be able to communicate well with his dog and become his closest companion.

​2. Amazing endurance and speed

When you see a husky for the first time, you may be surprised how small it is and how it looks nothing like the snow hero you imagined. In fact, Huskies are originally medium-sized dogs, small and strong, with excellent endurance, but they are not suitable for pulling heavy objects.

Among the dog breeds registered by the American Kennel Club (AKC), there are only three dog breeds used for sledding. Among them, the Husky (Siberian Husky) is like a sports car racing in the snow, the Husky is like an eighteen-wheel trailer, and the multi-purpose Samoyed is like a compact station wagon. The Husky's outstanding capabilities are best demonstrated when it puts on a saddle and drags light cargo, starting the most primitive work tasks at medium speed over long distances. Its body proportions and shape reflect the basic balance of strength/speed and endurance.

Huskies' amazing endurance and speed have helped many people who were lost in the snow to regain their homes. They have also rushed through -50 degree snowstorms to deliver life-saving serum to people in need, saving many lives. They are the true heroes of the snow.

If you are a busy owner and cannot always be by your side, your gentle and sensitive Husky will easily feel lonely. Huskies also get along very well with their families. But at the same time, it is very exclusive, and sometimes it is even more affectionate to others than to you.

What is worrying is that when a husky sees a stranger, it is very likely that it will wag its tail as a sign of goodwill. No matter good people or bad people, it is easy to mingle with human beings.

Huskies are generally trusting and affectionate to everyone around them, and of course they will happily wag their tails at thieves instead of baring their ferocious teeth at them.
