| General Appearance
The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog, quick
and light on his feet and free and graceful in action. His
moderately compact and well furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest
his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly
effortless. He performs his original function in harness most capably,
carrying a light load at a moderate speed over great distances. His body
proportions and form reflect this basic balance of power, speed and
endurance.
The males of the Siberian Husky breed are masculine but never coarse;
the bitches are feminine but without weakness of structure. In proper
condition, with muscle firm and well developed, the Siberian Husky does
not carry excess weight. |
General Appearance - For hundreds of years the Siberian Husky has
been used as a sled dog in northeastern Asia. He should be
exceptionally active, quick and light on his feet,
able to run in harness with a load, at a speed of twenty miles an hour
for short distances. He should be strong, courageous and tireless
on the trial. He should have a deep strong chest, heavy bone,
strong legs and feet, straight powerful back and well muscled
hindquarters.
