Did You Know: 7 Husky Facts

You have heard all of our best Husky Names. Now, sit back and let us wow you with these top 7 husky facts. After these, you will definitely understand why this is a breed everyone goes mutts over.

They Were Born To Live In The Cold

Huskies have three special physical characteristics which help keep them warm in the colder climates:

  1. Their coat – They have a double coat to keep them nice and toasty, even in the snow. They have an undercoat that is soft and warm and a long overcoat that is water-resistant.
  2. Their eyes – Their distinctly almond-shaped eyes ensure that they are able to squint efficiently to keep their eyes protected from the snow.
  3. The Swirl – They sleep with their tails wrapped around their faces; this ensures that they are able to protect their nose and face from the cold.

They Were Employed By The Army

Although it may be a well-known fact that Huskies were bred to be working and sledding dogs by Alaskans, it is not a well-known fact that they served in World War II. Huskies were used in World War II for transportation, freighting, and communicative purposes as well as being search and rescue dogs.

They Can Come In A Range Of Colors (Fur And Eyes)

Husky pups can come with a variety of colored fur. For example, agouti, white, black and white, brown and white, grey.

Additionally, their eyes may come in a range of colors too. From green to hazel, to brown and then, of course, an ultimate favorite, the piercing blue-eyed Husky.

They May Develop A Pink Nose In The Colder Months

Also known as hypopigmentation, this condition is referred to as “Snow Nose” or “Winter Nose”.

When a Husky has this condition, their nose goes pink or more pale in color during the cooler months. This change can become more permanent as they age but generally returns to normal once summer approaches.

They Are Smart Yet Naughty By Nature

Huskies are known to be among the most intelligent breeds of canines. However, they have a naughty and mischievous side where they can be very stubborn and sometimes a little too playful.

Don’t panic, just be patient, remain positive and you’ll get there!
