Product Description

The perfect locomotion for a cross-country sledding race is also the ideal companion for millions of owners. The Siberian Husky, praised as the swiftest and most effective sled dog ever bred, makes a delightful and outgoing pet, even for those who live hours from the nearest wintry slope. Besides his athletic abilities and his flawless disposition, the Siberian Husky must be counted among the most beautiful and dramatically striking animals on earth. This book provides the much-needed factual information about Siberian Huskies and their ancestry, character and standard, as well as the proper selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup’s arrival and housetraining.

In addition to an authoritative, lively text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Siberian Husky from puppyhood to the senior years.

2.0 out of 5 stars short, August 9, 2007

By	S. Meier - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for a book with details and specifics, but this was just a general overview. Lots of good pictures of dogs and puppies but not much detailed info.

4.0 out of 5 stars From a new owners perspective, July 10, 2006

By	Frances F "Frances F" (Ireland) - See all my reviews

I have to say that as a new owner of a Siberian Huskey I found this publication to be an excellent reference book. Everything from diet, breed history, breed standard, illness's, common problems with Huskys is covered. If someone is looking for the book in the house, it will be referred to as "the husky bible" by whoever is looking for it, brilliant book glad I purchased it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good basic book, August 16, 2009

By	T. Acordagoitia - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I good basic look at the breed and owning a Siberian, though I do not feel it gives enough information to really prepare someone for the challenges of a Siberian.

A nice quick references for someone or if someone is just curious about the breed.
