Siberian Pinscher History

The Siberian Husky (also known simply as the husky) is a Spitz-type sleddog originating in Siberia. It is a member of the Arctic wolf-coyote-dog family. The first recorded description of the Siberian Husky is from 1643, a drawing by Dutch artist Cornelis de Bruijn. The 400-year history of the husky is closely linked to that of its close relative, the Alaskan Malamute. The present day huskies are descended from the domesticated gray wolves of northeastern Siberia, which people began to tame about 4,000 years ago. The ancestors of the huskies were semi-feral, hunting and living in packs. Most huskies today are descended from dogs that belonged to the Chukchi people, who lived in the coastal regions of northeast Siberia. The huskies were used as a means of transportation, pulling sledges and hauling cargo. The huskies were so well adapted to this way of life that when the Chukchi people moved into Wrangel Island, just off the coast of Alaska, they continued to use this method of transportation. In 1930, the Bolshevik Revolution forced the Chukchi people to the mainland. They abandoned their dogs, which were then incorporated into local sledding and reindeer-herding communities. In 1935, an American, Walter Hickling, who was working for the American Museum of Natural History, collected a group of 30 huskies and sent them to Nome, Alaska, to participate in the Serum Run to Nome.

Siberian Pinscher Activity Requirements

Siberian Pinschers are a muscular, compact dog that is known for its intelligence, independence, and low-maintenance grooming. While their energy level is generally low, they do still require regular moderate physical exercise. Most Siberian Pinschers will do well with at least an hour of vigorous play or a walk per day. If you have a home with a fenced yard, your Siberian Pinscher will enjoy taking a couple of half-hour walks or playing in the yard for several hours. If you are looking for a more high-energy dog, a Siberian may not be the best bet. While they don’t require constant attention, they do require regular moderate amounts of exercise and interaction. If you are an active person who enjoys long walks and playing, a Siberian may be right for you.
