Sharberian Husky History
The Siberian Husky is a sledding and Arctic racing breed of medium to large-sized working dog, derived from the admixture of the aboriginal Chukchi race, the extinct Asiatic lion-dog, the Greyhound, and the now-extinct wolf. The history of the huskies as sled dogs and in harness racing dates back more than 4,000 years.

Sharberian Husky Activity Requirements
Sharberian Huskies were bred as working dogs, which means they love being active and taking part in outdoor activities. They are athletic, intelligent, and loyal. Most Huskies will need at least one hour of exercise and mental stimulation each day. This can include walks, runs, games of fetch, or anything that taps into their natural energy. A home with a rural or rural-urban setting is ideal for a Husky. They should not be kept in an apartment or urban environment. They need space to run and room to explore. If you live in a smaller home, a Husky may not be the best choice for you.
