GENERAL APPEARANCE : The Siberian Husky is a medium-

sized working dog, quick and light on his feet and free and graceful
in action. His moderately compact and well furred body, erect ears
and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is

smooth and seemingly effortless. He performs his original function
in harness most capably, carrying a light load at a moderate speed
over great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this

basic balance of power, speed and endurance. The males of the
Siberian Husky breed are masculine but never coarse; the bitches are
feminine but without weakness of structure. In proper condition,
with muscle firm and well developed, the Siberian Husky does not

carry excess weight.

IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS :
- In profile, the length of the body from the point of the shoulder to
the rear point of the croup is slightly longer than the height of the
body from the ground to the top of the withers.

- The distance from the tip of the nose to the stop is equal to the
distance from the stop to the occiput.

BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT : The characteristic
temperament of the Siberian Husky is friendly and gentle, but also
alert and outgoing. He does not display the possessive qualities of

the guard dog, nor is he overly suspicious of strangers or aggressive
with other dogs.
