Guía de cuidados

Huskies need extensive exercise and a secure, escape-proof garden. They are notorious escape artists. They shed heavily and need regular grooming. Not ideal for hot climates.

Necesidades de ejercicio

At least 2 hours of vigorous daily exercise. Huskies were bred to run all day and need significant physical outlets.

Aseo

Brush 2-3 times weekly, daily during twice-yearly coat blowing. Never shave a Husky — their double coat insulates against both cold and heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Huskies good family dogs?
Good with families who can meet their high exercise needs. They are friendly and gentle but their energy can be overwhelming for some.
Do Huskies shed a lot?
Extremely heavy shedders. They "blow" their entire undercoat twice a year, producing enormous amounts of fur.
Are Huskies hard to train?
Challenging due to their independent nature. They are intelligent but often choose not to obey. Experienced handling is recommended.
Can Huskies live in warm climates?
They can adapt but are not ideal for hot climates. They need air conditioning, shade, and exercise during cooler parts of the day.
