Description[]
3DS (NTSC): "Popularized in America as a sled dog, the Siberian husky recalls its ancestor, the wolf."
3DS (PAL): "Originally bred in the USA, the powerful Husky is reminiscent of its ancestor, the wolf."
The Siberian Husky is a large, dense-coat working dog breed that originated in eastern Siberia. It is recognizable by its thickly-furred double coat, sickle tail, erect triangular ears and distinctive markings.
An active, energetic and resilient breed whose ancestors came from the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic and were bred by the Chukchi of Northeastern Asia, it was imported into Alaska during the Nome Gold Rush and spread from there into the United States and Canada, initially as a sled dog. It rapidly acquired the status of a family pet and an Obedience Trail Pro.
The Siberian Husky has been described as a behavioral representative of the domestic dog's forebearer, the wolf, exhibiting a wide range of its ancestors' behavior. They are known to howl rather than bark, a characteristic of kenneled dogs often noticeable in dogs released from their captive environment for exercise - a behavior welcome in hunting dogs but not in the family pet. Siberian Huskies are a very loyal and friendly breed of dog. They are extremely intelligent and after learning a new skill will often decide when to show off this skill when asked to perform it, making them usually gain Pro Cup in Obedience Trials. They also are successful in Disc Competition and Lure Coursing. At the Nintendogs + Cats Club Kennel, the Siberian Husky comes in Black & White, Brown & White, and Agouti & White. If the player chooses "Surprise me!" they may find a brown agouti Siberian Husky as well as a pure white husky.
