Siberian Husky Personality include:Energetic and playful, friendly and kind, intelligent and curious, independent, socially inclined, occasionally stubborn, loyal and protective.Let me show you in detail:
1. Have a rich facial expression
The Siberian Husky has a striking appearance. Its delicate facial features and expressive body language are filled with quirky expressions that convey its emotions without the need for complex conversation, allowing us to deeply feel its joys, sorrows, and anger.
The expression of excitement and joy: One of the most common ways for a Siberian Husky to express excitement and joy is by vigorously wagging its tail and jumping up high. In many cases, Siberian Huskies also express themselves through a “smile,” which involves wrinkles on their nose, a gaping upper lip, exposed teeth, slightly closed eyes (much like the expression of a human when they smile), gentle eyes, slightly open mouth, ears pulled back, a humming sound coming from their nose, a soft twisting of their body, smooth, unruffled coat, and a lightly wagging tail, approaching people, and sometimes their ears will naturally tilt back.
The expression of anger: When a Siberian Husky is angry, its facial expression is almost the same as when it is “smiling,” with its nose lifted up, its upper lip pulled back to reveal its teeth, the only difference being that its eyes are wide open and its gaze is sharp, with its ears stretched straight backward. It may also close its mouth tightly and make a threatening growling sound, with its legs pounding the ground and its body stiff, its fur standing on end, and its tail either jutting straight out or extending straight out, keeping a certain distance from people. If its front legs are lowered and its body is hunched, you should be careful, as this indicates that it is about to launch an attack on you (and you have no idea what you did to our gentle Siberian Husky puppy to make it so angry).
The expression of sadness: dull eyes, drooping head, leaning towards the owner, and will look at the owner with a pleading gaze; sometimes it will hide in a corner or under a chair, becoming very quiet.
The expression of fear: The tail is lowered or tucked between the legs, which is the most obvious expression. The ears are pulled back, the coat stands on end, the eyes are wide open, the body trembles, the dog stands still or moves its legs restlessly, or even retreats backwards.
The expression of anticipation while waiting: If a Siberian Husky is wagging its tail, standing calmly, and staring at you, it means it is waiting for you to take it for a walk or feed it.
Facial expressions of closeness: If a dog’s tail is raised and wagging, its ears are perked up, its head is moving, its body is arched, and sometimes it extends its front paws towards you, it means that it is being friendly and wants to play with you.
A devoted owner can communicate effectively with their dog and become the closest companion in spirit.
2. With incredible endurance and speed
People who meet Siberian Huskies for the first time may be surprised by how small they are, as they don’t seem to match the image of the snowy hero they had in mind. In fact, Siberian Huskies are naturally medium-sized dogs, compact and sturdy, with excellent endurance, but they are not suitable for pulling heavy loads.
Of the dog breeds registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC), only three breeds are used for sledding. Among them, the Siberian Husky (Alaskan Malamute) is like a sports car in the snow, while the Eskimo dog is like a big 18-wheeler, and the multi-purpose Samoyed is like a compact and nimble travel car. When the Siberian Husky is equipped with a saddle and pulls light loads over long distances at a moderate speed to begin its original work tasks, its exceptional abilities are most evident. Its body proportions and shape reflect the basic balance of strength/speed and endurance.
Huskies are known for their endurance and speed, which have helped many people find their way home after getting lost in the snow. They have also been known to run through blizzards at temperatures as low as -50°C, delivering life-saving serums to those in need and saving many lives in the process. They truly are heroes of the snow.
3. Gentle and friendly
The Chukchi people devoted a lot of care and attention to Siberian huskies to cultivate their gentle and friendly nature. It is a species of animal that is not defensive towards humans and hardly ever attacks humans aggressively. They love to be close to people and always long for human companionship, even towards strangers.
Unlike its rugged and bold appearance, the Siberian Husky has a very strong desire for its owner’s attention. If you are a busy owner who cannot spend much time with it, the gentle and sensitive Siberian Husky can easily feel lonely. Siberian Huskies can also get along very well with family members. However, its loyalty is very strong, and sometimes it may be more affectionate towards others than towards you.
What is worrying is that Siberian Huskies are likely to show a tail-wagging greeting when they see strangers. They are easy to get along with and can form close bonds with humans. They are not afraid or suspicious of visitors and can genuinely get along with them. Siberian Huskies usually trust and love all people around them, of course, they will also wag their tails happily to a burglar, rather than showing their ferocious teeth. If you want to keep a guard dog that can protect your home and keep you safe, don’t expect Siberian Huskies to do it.
Siberian Huskies are pack dogs and thrive when living with other dogs. They are less likely to become jealous and may quickly accept new companions. In terms of relationships with unfamiliar dogs, Siberian Huskies are very friendly and display great gentlemanly behavior. However, when attacked, they will also be ready to protect themselves and quickly retaliate!
4. Energetic and Active
Siberian Huskies have a lot of energy and a strong sense of curiosity. They need a lot of exercise every day to burn off their energy. Strangely, male dogs are generally more gentle and lovable than female dogs. Male Siberian Huskies are easier to train and have better temperaments. Females, on the other hand, can sometimes be too active and nervous.
Huskies love to play, they always want to play, run, and jump; they can play with you tirelessly for hours, driving you crazy until you want to jump off a building, but they still come over to lick your face with a ball in their mouth. When they are in a good mood, they will use their huge body to collide with your feet at super-fast speed, scaring the daylights out of you. Even when you haven’t woken up yet, they will jump onto the bed to torture you under the pretext of wanting to play. When you are tired enough to stick out your tongue, they are usually not satisfied. However, the joy they bring to you is beyond description.
It is interested in everything in the house, making people feel that the Hachi babies are naughty little troublemakers. It will carefully inspect everything in the house multiple times to test the durability of the items you have purchased. This seriousness has reached the point where a friend of mine bought a sink every day. They will also do some things that will drive you crazy, such as suddenly running around in the middle of the road and then starting to spin in place. You should be fully prepared to think that it is just acting crazy.
Huskies are skilled at digging and burying things. To avoid these situations, dog owners should take their dogs out for exercise regularly to tire them out. Puppies should go out for a leashed walk for about 30 minutes every day, with unlimited free playtime. Adult dogs should go out for a leashed walk for 30-60 minutes every day, with unlimited free playtime. You can also buy some toys for your dog to pass the time. In short, by keeping your husky busy, you can avoid many emotional and material setbacks.
5. Laziness and indiscipline
Huskies have developed a strong sense of independence due to living in harsh environments in the Arctic for a long time. If you own a Huskies, you are essentially raising a beautiful, neurotic, owner-insensitive, mischievous “white-eyed wolf.” People with nervous disorders, low energy levels, and those who prefer to follow others should think twice before getting a Huskies, as they can lead to a never-ending cycle of frustration and disappointment.
Huskies are strong and can easily pull a weight of 180 kg. They are outgoing and playful, and when they go out, they will run away from your sight as if they have been abused for a long time. No matter how you call them, they will wander around on their own and ignore you. The probability of calling them back is less than 30%. Therefore, I suggest that all Huskies owners should bring a leash when taking their dogs out. Don’t ever let go of the leash unless you are sure that your dog will obey your call. It is almost impossible for a Huskies to follow you and walk beside you without a leash. If you want your Huskies to walk beside you and not run away, you might as well have a dream. Therefore, I strongly suggest implanting a microchip in your Huskies so that it can be found if it gets lost.
6. Clever and resourceful.
Huskies have a strong sense of curiosity and are very energetic, making them a fairly intelligent breed of dog. In the past, they were used to pull sleds through the vast snowy wilderness, guiding people in the snowy terrain.
A professor of psychology at Columbia University in the United States, who combined in-depth interviews with 228 experts in dog training from around the world, 63 veterinarians who specialize in small animals, and 14 experts in guard dogs, conducted a comprehensive study of well-known dog breeds and, with the help of a large and valuable body of data provided by the Vancouver Dog Obedience Club, compiled a very complex and extensive questionnaire to rank the working obedience and intelligence of world-renowned dog breeds. The Huskies ranked 45th, which is considered to be a medium-high level of dog. With the patience training of experienced trainers, Huskies can take on important tasks. Many Huskies are trained at the Chinook Dog Training Center in Hampshire, New England, and are always ready to participate in Antarctic exploration; they also participated in military research activities in the Arctic and served as rescue dogs for the Air Force transport command during World War II, becoming famous for their excellent search and rescue abilities.
In real life, due to the lack of training skills by owners, Siberian Huskies are not well-trained, which has led many people to misunderstand their trainability. Some people cannot stand the fact that Siberian Huskies make a mess when their owners are not at home, howl at night to disturb neighbors, or even think they are stupid and cannot be trained. In fact, experts believe that “there are only bad owners, not bad dogs.” If you train them properly, they can also become a loving and obedient perfect companion.
7. Do not bark excessively.
Siberian Huskies bark very little. They only make wolf-like howls in certain situations, although this sound can be a bit spooky at night, it perfectly suits their wolf-like appearance and many people may even be proud of it. In most cases, Siberian Huskies hardly make any noise at all, and many dog owners may even doubt that they have a mute dog.
