Welcome to the world of sled dogs

Hello, dear husky friend :-)

I'm glad you're here, because I'd like to tell you something about the fascination of sled dogs. Yes, this hobby can even be addictive - so be careful! When we talk about a husky, we imagine a picture of a husky in front of a sled on the snow. But you may not have known that a husky can do more than just pull a sled, and that not every sled dog is a husky. But soon you'll learn many more interesting characteristics of the northern dogs. By the way, every sled dog is a northern dog, but not every northern dog is a sled dog. So, now I don't want to confuse you any further and hope you have fun on Huskyweb :-))

A husky has a lot of stamina by nature and a great urge to work. That's why it's also very suitable as a companion for more or less demanding hikes. Of course, both the dog and the person have to be fit enough so that neither is overwhelmed by it. It is not always an advantage if you are "pulled" up the mountain by a dog, and the descent can then become a real challenge, even for the human companion.

If you want to know something about the ancestors of the huskies, then take a look at the "Wolves" section
