Siberian Husky
🧠 Temperament
Independent, playful and famously stubborn. Huskies were bred to run for hours and are generally friendly with everyone — they make poor guard dogs and excellent escape artists.
🎾 Exercise
Very high — 90+ minutes of real exertion daily. Under-exercised huskies dig, howl and escape.
✂️ Grooming
Thick double coat that sheds enormously twice a year. Frequent brushing is not optional.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
One of the harder city breeds: vocal, high-energy, heat-sensitive and rarely reliable off leash. Needs an owner ready to run in the cold.
