There are many different breeds of Husky Dogs, the most popular being the northern breed, the Siberian husky. These dogs are liked because of their beauty and for their usefulness. People living in northern regions breed these dogs for three primary reasons: herding, assisting hunters and pulling dog sleds. People living in other regions breed these dogs to sell them. They are quite clever animals and they should never been left alone for an extended period of time as they are known to be great escape artists.
Husky dogs, particularly Siberian husky dogs come in a variety of colors. The most common color for their fur is grey and white while you might find some that are black and white or even red and white. Research has shown that these animals are extremely affectionate toward adults, but some warn that they may be too rough for small children until both the child and dog get used to each 
other. One common trend found by dog researchers is that Huskies are not among the most obedient dogs and should not be expected to be. There have been people who bring their dogs to obedience training and they still found that the level of obedience that their animal showed was not as much as was expected after the training period had ended.
While Husky dogs have been found to be great escape artists they have also shown that they can be great housedogs. The thing to remember here is that these dogs want to show affection and they want their owners to be affectionate. Therefore, if you do not permit your Husky puppy to lie at your feet then you may find that he or she becomes bored very easily. They demand that their owners spend quality time with them. These dogs have been compared to a newborn baby. At times you can't leave them alone for a second.
Husky dogs range in size depending on the breed. For example, the Siberian husky reaches a weight of about 50 pounds while the Alaskan Malamute Husky grows to be about anywhere from 75-100 pounds. These dogs are natural-born sled dogs and but in some cases they will lose their muscle mass if not exercised and trained properly.
There is a myth that Husky dogs very rarely bark but this is not the case at all. In actuality, their barks can be loud at times and they even have a tendency to howl. For some people this is the reason why they like this dog breed. They say it's almost like the dogs are singing when they bark. Therefore if you are looking for a quiet dog then maybe you should consider another breed of dog rather than the Husky. If you are interested in finding out more about these then you might want to contact your local veterinarian or look around on the Internet. There are numerous sites on the Internet that can offer a great deal of valuable information about Husky dogs.
