What do huskies look like?
The ancestors of modern dogs were bred in Northeast Asia, where they were used by nomadic tribes as sled dogs. During the gold rush they were brought to Alaska. There, sled dogs eventually gained popularity. It was the huskies who took part in the Great Race of Mercy and helped deliver diphtheria serum to the city of Nome, which was actually on the verge of death.

The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized dog with a well-proportioned, muscular body. The back, lower back and chest are strong, the stomach is slightly tucked. The ears are erect, triangular and slightly rounded at the ends, located high on the head, at a short distance from each other. The tail is well feathered, when raised it is shaped like a sickle and does not curl into a ring; when lowered it is straight.
The Husky's coat is of medium length, with a soft, dense undercoat and smooth, straight, not too hard guard hair. There are different colors, including black, white, black and white, gray, red, agouti and others. Huskies have brown and blue eyes, although there are also dogs with heterochromia - when the iris is of different colors.
