About the Husky Dog
Typically when someone talks about a “Husky dog,” they mean the Siberian Husky.

These dogs have lived and worked beside people as sled dogs for thousands of years.

Our family has a huskador. She is the most amazing dog ever. So loyal and provides great companionship to our 14 year old who suffers from social anxiety and depression. She also likes to show her stubborn and resilient side and give us some attitude which I’m sure comes from the husky side. But overall she is just the complete package, loyal, friendly, playful, super intelligent with a little bit of sass.
