Icela was abandoned in the parking lot in a cage with 5 cats. After finding out she was chipped, we tracked Icela's previous owner down and found that this amazing Husky has been passed from home to home due to no fault of her own. She does well with children, dogs and cats. Who could ask for a better dog?
  • Leash Manners - Icela walks well on a leash and loves going on long walks.
  • Crate/House Training - She is crate trained.  She does have accidents in the house from time to time so she needs to go out frequently.
  • Socialization - She's great with kids, adults, seniors and cats.  She gets along with our dog (who's about twice her size).
  • Energy Level and Exercise - She is a Shepherd/Husky mix so she needs a lot of exercise, at least an hour every day, such as walks or a game of fetch/play time.
  • Confidence Level - She's a little timid at first meet but not for long.
  • Obedience Training - She still needs some training but she is very smart and learns quickly.
  • Personality Quirks - The best thing about this dog is that she is so sweet and so gentle, she's an amazing family dog.
  • Ideal Home - She'll definitely need a home where she'll get plenty of attention and she needs to know who the "leader of the pack" is and would love to live in a home with a few children.  She needs a big back yard with a secure fence.
Native to Siberia, Huskies were used for centuries by the Chukchi people to pull sleds, herd reindeer and perform watchdogging functions. They were perfect working dogs for the harsh Siberian conditions: hardy, able to integrate into small packs, and quite happy to work for hours on end. The Siberian Husky is a very light-weight sled dog with great stamina. It was brought to Alaska in 1909 by fur traders in Malamute for arctic races because of their great speed. In 1925 there was a diphtheria epidemic in Nome, Alaska and many dog teams relayed the precious medicine to the stricken city. This event focused national attention on the Siberian Husky and helped popularize the breed. The Siberian Husky was also used during Admiral Byrd's Antarctic Expeditions. An excellent pack animal, the Husky gets along well with his comrades. These dogs are gentle and playful, but willful and mischievous. This cheerful dog is very fond of his or her family. A puppy at heart, they are clever, sociable and loving, easy-going and docile. Good with children and friendly with strangers, they are not watchdogs, for they bark little and love everyone. Huskies are very intelligent and trainable, but they have a mind of their own and will only obey a command if they see the point. Training takes patience, consistency and an understanding of the Arctic dog character. This dog will take advantage if he can. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. This breed likes to howl and gets bored easily. They do not like to be left alone, so if this is the breed for you, you may want to consider having two. A lonely Husky can be very destructive. Remember that the Husky is a sled dog in heart and soul. They are good with other pets if they are raised with them from puppyhood. Huskies are thrifty eaters and need less food than you might expect. This breed likes to roam. They are not usually recommended for apartments, however they can live in apartments if well trained and properly exercised. Siberian Huskies are very active indoors and do best with a fenced-in large yard. Because of their heavy coats, these dogs prefer cool climates. One has to use common sense with respect to maintaining them in the heat by providing adequate shade and air conditioning. It is a common misconception that all Siberians have blue eyes. They can have eyes that are blue, brown, amber, or any combination thereof including eyes which are half blue and half brown, which is referred to as being parti-eyed. Having one blue eye and one brown eye is referred to as being bi-eyed. The large "snow shoe" feet have hair between the toes for gripping on ice. The Siberian Husky has a thick, wooly undercoat and a soft outer coat. It is able to withstand temperatures as low as -58 degrees to -76 degrees F. They have a life expectancy of about 12-15 years.
