So many people bring a Black Siberian Husky into their homes not really knowing what they are all about or what they can expect. They are a compact breed with a thick coat and considered a working dog that is capable of withstanding freezing temperatures down to an amazingly impressive sixty degrees below zero. Even though Black Siberian Husky's are mostly black, it is not uncommon for them to have white markings on their face.

And while many people automatically assume that this breed has blue eyes and blue eyes only, their eyes can also come in blue, amber, brown or even a mix of two different colors. This breed not only has fur that is beautiful to look at, but it serves them a great purpose as well. Their wooly undercoat makes a nice base for the outer coat, which is considerably softer. And it is with this fur that this dog is able to withstand temperatures as low as negative sixty degrees below zero.

Now beyond looks, there are more reasons why people want to bring a puppy home with them, such as knowing that this dog is excellent with small children and the elderly. But, it is their love for people that make them terrible watchdogs because of the fact that they never want to bark.

But if it is a guard dog that you are keeping an eye out for, you may what to reconsider this breed, as this dog will not bark often, as they love absolutely everyone. While every owner wants their dog to be trained, those who end up owning a Black Siberian Husky needs to know that this breed often has a mind of its own and will only listen to your commands when they feel like it.

Some other important facts to know about the Black Siberian Husky before bringing one into your home is to know what to expect in terms of how big they will grow to be and what health problems, if any, you can expect to have with them.

The male dogs can be expected to become between forty-five and sixty pounds while the female is more in the range of thirty five to fifty pounds in weight. While this breed is generally free of a lot of health problems, they can end up with hip dysplasia and some minor eye problems.

And as far as their living arrangements, they would do best in a home that can provide them with plenty of room to run around in. If they are in an apartment, they can manage but they would need to be given many opportunities to run and exercise in order to maintain a healthy status.

If you are ready, willing, and able to provide the Black Siberian Husky with the love, attention, and healthy living conditions it requires, then now is the time to begin looking so you can find that perfect friend.
