Siberian huskies are actually fairly popular in the world of dog breeds. Although, they may not be the most popular, or even on the top ten list, but they are still a highly sought after breed.The one mistake in husky owners is shaving their pup. Siberian husky's have a double coat, and the upper coat, composed of gaurd hairs, help keep the dog cool in warmer months and warm in the cooler months. So, when you shave this upper coat, you remove the dog's protection to weather. Siberian huskies require little grooming besides teething brushing, nail clipping, and the occassional baths. These dogs tend to keep themselves clean of dirt.
Another common mistake is when these type of dogs are thrown in a backyard with little to no exercise. With their history, Siberian huskies are travelers, and need a good deal of exercise, daily! Otherwise, they will become destructive, mischievious, and may escape their confines in order to roam.
Huskies need to be kept confined on a leash, in your home, or behind a locked gate, as they are historic travelers and tend to fall in this path, with the roaming instinct. But, with proper DAILY exercise and spaying or neutering, you should eliminate this concern.
