How does a Siberian Husky act?

Behaviour of a husky dog!

Someone once told me, when you choose a dog, you must choose it for their personality or behaviour. Not by how cute or fierce they look. Because a dog is men’s best friend, and your best friend is your best friend is due to the fact that you both click very well in terms of personalities and behaviour. Wise words indeed.

If you are looking for a companion, a Siberian Husky would top up as one of the choice breed to look for.By nature, they are really gentle dogs, and also shows a sort of childlike eagerness when around humans. This is because they have a puppy like personality in them all through their life. This also makes them to be known as the “clown of the dogs” as they constantly love to fool around and make themselves look silly.

Siberian Huskies do not bark like normal dogs do. Instead they howl, more of a wolf trait,since they are closely link to the wolfs .But the Siberian Huskies only howl when they are bored or not given any attention.They do have another form of howling which is like singing. This only happens when the Siberian Huskies are in the right mood. You will know when it happens when you see a Siberian Husky lifting his head upwards towards the moon and make a howl which is long and with tunes.

Other than that, these dogs are also known to be an intelligent breed. What amazes people is their capability to mimic us, humans in our simple daily house routines. Example, a husky is able to pull down a door handle to open doors and also use its paw to turn lights off or on. Other unique intelligence of theirs is their ability to escape. They are able to crawl into small holes without any problem, wriggle out of their chain or leash with ease.

Now, I know dogs are always represented with an image of digging soil, that is why everyone’s pre conception of any dog is that they will dig! This does not exclude the Siberian Husky, but the level on how frequent a dog digs is also different in all dog breeds. Well, all we could say is that, Siberian Huskies are born diggers, they are like a digging machine. Just imagine, a Siberian Husky can create a crater of 1 feet in just less than one minute. Now that’s fast!

They also have a hunting instinct in their blood. Those who keep them as house pets are to be aware that they may surge out of their captive zone when taking out for exercise. Plus with their excellent speed in running, they will be pretty hard to catch up to once released. On another account, the Siberian Huskies are more of a nomad, which means they are able to adapt to new areas easily. More of a carefree kind of dog, they couldn’t really be aware that whether they are in danger or not, I guess this is partly they bold side of them.

Everyone loves their dogs when their dogs tend to listen to their commands and obey to their master’s every word. This is what we call obedience. Most dogs are able to be trained to be obedient, but certain dogs are rather hard. Like the Siberian Husky, certain people claim they aren’t obedient, but in fact they can be, if with persistent everyday training to make them tame down.

Loveable , affectionate, friendly.. able to play with kids, if you have any.. I bet these 3 are the most common words that you hear when you hit to an adoption centre or a pet shop.The Siberian Husky dog will be the one you are looking for if you are opting more of a playmate sort of dog. Because of their friendly nature, they tend to welcome everyone they see with open arms, with open arms I mean jumping on them to give them a big wet lick on the face. They love to be around people. That is the main reason people tend to warn Siberian Huskies owner not to treat their Huskies as guard dogs, as they really make a lousy guard by welcoming the intruder instead of stopping them.

Every heard of curiosity kills the cat? Well I think here the victim would be a husky. Why do I say so? Naturally, Huskies are born curious, once they pick up a scent so interesting, they will do everything to get to know what the source is. It’s really useful that they’ve got such curiosity, but for Husky owners, it would be a nightmare ,as their dog will wonder off with that scent!

Thus this sums up what are the behaviour of a regular husky. So what do you think about them? I bet it gave you a rather enlightening insight to what they are like. Never could you imagine that a dog which looks resembles a wolf, would be in fact so friendly to the extent that it is unfit to a guard dog. But nevertheless, it is still a dog of many wonders.
