Husky: All You Need to Know About Husky Dog Breed
Husky:
Originally bred by the Chukchi people of northeastern Asia as endurance sled dogs, Siberian Huskies are built for cold climates and long-distance running. These striking, wolf-like dogs were developed to pull light loads over vast distances in sub-zero temperatures. Today, they've become increasingly popular in India despite our tropical climate - a trend that requires special attention to their unique needs. Their stunning looks and playful personality make them irresistible, but keeping a Husky healthy in India needs dedicated care and understanding.

Can Huskies survive in Indian climate?
How much do they shed?
Extremely heavily, especially twice yearly. Daily brushing required.
Are they good apartment dogs?
Not recommended unless you can provide extensive exercise and climate control.
Do they need special summer care?
Absolutely - AC, cooling mats, restricted outdoor time, and careful exercise scheduling.
Are they good with children?
Yes, but their energy level needs management around small kids.
Pro Tip: Huskies in India need constant access to cool spaces. Never shave them - their double coat helps regulate temperature. Use JOLLY GUT® to support their digestion in heat, and NO RUFF® to maintain healthy coat condition.
