Top 10 Pure Siberian Husky Characteristics Explained
Distinctive Features of Purebred Huskies:
1. Head Appearance: A purebred Husky's head is characterized by almondshaped eyes, with a moderate distance between them. The eye colors can range from brown to blue, and it is acceptable if the two eyes have different colors as long as they meet the above criteria. The ears of a pure Husky are particularly thick, covered in abundant fur, and form an arch from the neck up to the head.
2. Tail Examination: One of the defining features of a pure Husky is a lush tail with mediumlength fur. The tail's hair is consistent in length throughout, especially in the foxlike tail, which sits just below the backline. When the Husky's tail is raised, it does not curl to either side of the body or wrap around the back.
3. Fur Inspection: Purebred Huskies have a doublelayered coat with mediumlength fur. While the coat is dense, it is not overly long, allowing the Husky's body contours to be visible. The undercoat is soft and dense, supporting the outer layer's length. The overall coat is rough, straight, and smooth, but it does not stand on end.
4. Color Assessment: Pure Huskies come in a variety of colors, including black and white, and it's normal for them to have some color spots or patterns that are unique to this breed.
