A statue honoring Seppala's team stands today in Central Park. This delivery became known as the Great Race of Mercy and attracted much attention to the Siberian Husky. It gained further prominence in 1925 when a gold miner named Leonhard Seppala used a now-famous team of Siberian Huskies to make an urgent delivery of diphtheria serum to Nome, saving thousands of lives.
The Siberian Husky attracted attention when it completely dominated native breeds in the 400 mile All-Alaska Sweepstakes race from Nome to Candle in 1910, the second year in which it competed. It was imported to Alaska in the early 20th century during the Alaskan gold rush. This breed is relatively healthy, but some have heart disease and eye problems, along with dermatitis.Country of Origin The Siberian Husky (also known as the Chukcha, Keshia, or Arctic Husky) originated as a sled dog for the Chukchi tribe of Eastern Siberia (in northern Russia) several thousand years ago. If they are not kept active, they can be very destructive and noisy. The Siberian Husky needs to be involved in physical activities and requires a well-fenced yard. Handlers should take this into consideration and use patience and understanding during training. This breed is very intelligent and independent.
Its coat needs brushing one or two times a week, daily during periods of heaviest shedding. They will not get along with cats or other small animals, though they do well with children. This breed gets along well with other Huskies, but they need to be trained carefully if they're to be kept with other household pets. They love to roam and are full of energy and independence. Siberian Huskies are not particularly good watch dogs, because they want to befriend everyone they meet. The undercoat is soft and dense and of sufficient length. The guard hairs of the outer coat are straight and somewhat smooth lying. This dog loves to roam and explore, so he needs a nice big yard.Ĭoat is double-layered and medium-length.
Still, he needs a strong-willed owner who will stay in control. The Siberian Husky is very similar in looks to the Alaskan Malamute, yet somewhat smaller in build and not quite as bold.
