The dogs of this breed have thicker coats as they have to fight the severe cold. These have a variety of colors and a range of patterns. The paws and the legs are usually white, have facial markings and their tails are tipped. The colors in which they are found are grey and white, black and white, pure white, copper-red and white. There are other varieties that have colors like biscuit shadings, brown, piebald spotted and reddish in color. There are several facial marks like spectacle marks, striking marks are found of the faces of this breed of dogs. They are quite similar to that of wolves in relation to their physical structures but they have less amount of fur and they are also much smaller. Their eyes are blue, hazel or brown in color though there are rare and “bi-eyed” varieties also available. The coat of a Siberian Husky is found in two layers. There is a cashmere like dense inner coat and a long and coarse top coat. These dogs shed their coat in once a year but those that stay indoors shed less profusely.

Their temperament is in contradiction to their intimidating appearance. They might look like a wolf but these are actually quite gentle in their temperament. They are a working breed and they are very energetic.

Their breeding: Siberian huskies are reared mainly for the dogsled racing but these are being fast replaced by the faster variety of the Alaskan Huskies.
