What are the characteristics of a purebred husky? How can we choose a purebred husky? This question troubles many friends who want to buy a purebred husky. Oh, don't worry, let's introduce you how to choose a purebred husky.

1. The standard height and weight of purebred huskies

Huskies are medium-sized working dogs. Generally speaking, purebred male huskies have a shoulder height of 21- 23 inches and 45-60 pounds; female huskies are 20-22 inches tall at the shoulder and 35-50 pounds. At the same time, the purebred Husky has a smooth, effortless gait, graceful movement; compact body; thick coat and erect ears.

Second, the temperament of purebred huskies

The typical character of purebred huskies is friendly, gentle, alert and likes to socialize. So it is very suitable for the elderly or children at home. It does not display a strong territorial attitude as a guard dog, does not become too suspicious of strangers, and does not attack other dogs. Great as a pet dog, but be aware that huskies are not suitable for housekeeping.

3. Appearance of purebred huskies

Pure and impure huskies: first look at whether the bone is large or not, and the amount of hair is not much. Generally speaking, a husky has a large head frame, large paws, and a dog with rich hair is a good dog. (This is also a common sign for selecting all kinds of dogs, of course hairless dogs are not included).

1. Husky head

The eyes of a purebred husky are almond-shaped, separated by a moderate distance and slightly oblique. Eyes can be brown or blue (different eye colors are acceptable if they meet eye color standards). The ears should be thick, covered with thick fur, slightly arched where the neck joins the head, and erect vigorously. The tip is slightly rounded and pointing straight up.

If the husky's eyes are too slanted; too close together. The ears and the head are out of proportion and appear too large; they are too far apart; and they are not erected vigorously enough. Such a husky is not very good. Thoroughbred huskies have a snout of moderate width, tapering to a point that is neither pointed nor square.

2. The husky's tail

The purebred husky's tail is rich in fur, like a fox's tail, just below the topline, and the husky's tail is raised. Do not roll up on either side of the body, nor lay flat on the back. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Ha will wag his tail when answering.

The tail of a purebred husky is of medium length, with the top, sides and bottom of the coat being roughly the same length, so it looks like a rounded fox tail. Defects: Tail laid flat or tightly curled; base set too high or too low.

3. Husky's coat

The purebred Husky's coat is double-layered, medium-length, and looks very bushy, but not too long , can not hide the clear outline of Xiao Ha itself. The undercoat is soft, dense and long enough to support the outer coat. The shag of the outer coat is straight, smooth and snug, not rough, not erect. (It should be pointed out that it is normal for a husky to have no undercoat during the moulting period.)

4. Husky color

Husky goes from black to pure All colors of white are acceptable. Some other color spots on the head are common, including patterns not found in many other breeds.

A husky that meets the above characteristics can basically be judged to be a purebred husky.
