For active dog parents, this breed is sure to only keep growing loyal fans. The Alusky’s parent breeds have similar history.

All About The Siberian Husky

 Originally developed in Siberia by the Chukchi tribes as a sled dog, the friendly and outgoing Siberian retains his pioneering heart today. A celebrated escape artist, the Siberian quests for everyday activity and the occasional full-throttle adventure, as well.
