Here are some things to learn before going out to get that Husky pup. The American Kennel Club first recognized the Siberian husky in 1930 when the breed standard was published in April 1932 in the Pure Bred Dogs/ American Gazette. 
Since then, the
Husky has achieved success in the show ring, and a steady rise in popularity. In 1995 the AKC Gazette published a report based on individual dog registration stating the Siberian husky as the eighteenth most popular breed. The arrival of the Husky pup can be traced to the Alaskan Gold Rush, which created an unprecedented need for a great number of sled dogs.
Huskies are members of the Spitz family so expect a strong, hardy dog that can haul heavy loads like a child in a wagon or sled. When looking for that adorable Husky puppy keep in mind that a male Husky will grow to weigh between forty five to sixty pounds, and be from twenty-one to twenty-four inches tall. A full-grown female will usually weigh thirty-five to fifty pounds, and reach a height of twenty to twenty-two inches. You can find a Husky pup in all ranges of colors from pitch black to pure white, and everything in between.
Full-grown Siberian Huskies, as well as the Husky dog, are bred to be sweet, gentle, and loving, so expect them to be very people-oriented and sociable. Although the Husky is sweet natured, and bred to be suited to the whole family, it is still an excellent guard dog.
Another thing to be aware of is the requirements of the Husky personality. As Huskies are fiercely independent, a person needs to be alert and fully in command around them. You may have to supervise your new pal until you are confident that cats or small animals are safe around it. For your new pet's safety, be aware that Huskies are full of energy and the males, in particular, have a tendency to roam and explore their surroundings. So be sure to have a fence, and be extra vigilant any time the Husky is free to run, as it may almost impossible to catch one on the run. In addition, all Huskies need exercise. With at least an hour of exercise a day, they will be happier, and easy to manage. With patience and love your Husky pup will grow up to be a loving member of your family, getting along well with people and dogs.
Huskies are easy maintenance dogs.
Grooming is needed in the form of combing and brushing once a week, especially during the shedding season. In addition, they need protection from the heat during the summer months. If you are serious about getting that Husky pup, do your research, and make sure you only buy from a reputable breeder.
