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.

The Black Siberian Husky is known for its patience and the love that they share with everyone around them, even very small children, as they just love everyone. The temperament that is displayed by this breed is often a friendly one and the dogs are so friendly that they cannot serve as proper guard dogs as they will hardly ever bark at even strangers. Being an independent dog, it only seems natural that the Husky believes he or she runs the show.

It does seem though that while they are extremely intelligent dogs, they only listen to your commands when they feel that it is justified. They work at their own pace and seem to have a mind of their own, which can be a wonderful thing on one hand and then a terrible thing on another. But all in all, this is a pretty well balanced dog that is both playful and gentle.

While many people see the Black Siberian Husky to be somewhat of a larger breed, they tend to think that they do not need as much exercise but that is simply not the case. The males can grow in weight up to sixty pounds and the females can grow up to fifty pounds. Even at their full-grown weight, they still need plenty of room to run.

Also, it cannot be stressed enough that before bringing the Black Siberian Husky into your home that you understand that they can be prone to certain minor eye problems and to hip dysphasia. So it is important to make sure that they are given the needed room to run around and to get their exercise.

If you have no choice but to live within an apartment, it is vital to make sure that the dog is taken out for walks and runs whether it is down the street or to the dog park.
