General
Appearance:
The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog,
quick and light on his feet and free and graceful in action. His moderately compact
and well-furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage.
His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He performs his original
function in harness most capably, carrying a light load at a moderate speed over
great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this basic balance of power,
speed and endurance. The males of the breed are masculine but never coarse; the
bitches are feminine but without weakness of structure. In proper condition, with
muscle firm and well-developed, the Siberian Husky does not carry excess weight.
