SIZE AND WEIGHT : 6
Height at withers : Dogs: 21 to 23, 5 inches (53,5 - 60 cm).

Weight is in proportion to height. The measurements mentioned
above represent the extreme height and weight limits with no

preference given to either extreme. Any appearance of excessive
bone or weight should be penalized.

SUMMARY : The most important breed characteristics of the
Siberian Husky are medium size, moderate bone, well balanced
proportions, ease and freedom of movement, proper coat, pleasing

head and ears, correct tail, and good disposition. Any appearance of
excessive bone or weight, constricted or clumsy gait, or long, rough

coat should be penalized. The Siberian Husky never appears so
heavy or coarse as to suggest a freighting animal; nor is he so light
and fragile as to suggest a sprint-racing animal. In both sexes the

Siberian Husky gives the appearance of being capable of great
endurance. In addition to the faults already noted, the obvious

structural faults common to all breeds are as undesirable in the
Siberian Husky as in any other breed, even though they are not
specifically mentioned herein.

FAULTS : Any departure from the foregoing points should be

considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be
regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree and its effect
upon the health and welfare of the dog.

• Skull : Head clumsy or heavy; head too finely chiseled.
• Stop : Insufficient.

• Muzzle : Either too snipy or too coarse; too short or too long.
• Jaws/Teeth : Any bite other than scissor bite.

• Eyes : Set too obliquely; set too close together.
• Ears : Too large in proportion to the head; too wide set; not

strongly erect.
• Neck : Too short and thick; too long.
