What Huskies are like to live with
The Royal Kennel Club calls the Siberian Husky "the lightest and fastest of the sled dogs". It says the breed comes from the north-east of Siberia, where it pulled sleds over long distances and lived alongside families, who bred it for working ability and temperament. The breed standard describes a dog that is "friendly and gentle, alert and outgoing" and "does not display traits of the guard dog".

Where can I adopt a Husky in Derby?
With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Huskies on this page are with Ashbourne Animal Welfare (2) and Jerry Green Dog Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
How much exercise does a Husky need?
More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club, and a minimum of two hours according to PDSA. The Royal Kennel Club lists the Siberian Husky as suited to a large house with a large garden, in the country. Ask the rescue how much this dog needs, as age and health make a difference.
Can a Husky live in a flat?
It is rarely a good fit. Battersea says Huskies "aren't usually suited to flats" and need access to a secure outdoor space, and The Royal Kennel Club suggests a large house with a large garden. The rescue can tell you what this dog is used to.
Are Huskies good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 3 Huskies listed in and around Derby today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
