I recently got my first Husky puppy
Aww! How cute! Huskies make great pets! There are even groups who find new homes for Huskies that are retired from racing and adventure trekking.
That's really cool!  What were they initially bred for?
I'm pretty sure they were originally bred to be sled-dogs due to their fast pulling style!
That makes sense.  Where are they initially from?  Somewhere cold?
I think so! The word husky originated from the word Eskimos, so I think they were bred in Arctic areas.
How many puppies are generally in a litter?
That's a great question, but unfortunately I'm not sure! The breed is ever-changing and cross-breeding so it's hard to say.
I hadn't considered the cross breeding!  That's very common these days.
Yes, it is! Thankfully though, huskies have been able to maintain genetic closeness to their ancestor, the gray wolf!
