About Siberian Husky
The Siberian Husky is an ancient sled dog breed that originated on the Chukotka Peninsula in Siberia. This thick-haired dog can live in freezing weather and has strong claws to maintain its grip on icy ground. Uniquely, this dog breed can store its spare energy in the fat on its body. Although it has a face similar to a wolf, it has stunning eyes.
