Born and raised by the natives of Siberia called the "Chukchi", the breed has been recognized as an economical use of transportation, and have been used for thousands of years. The Siberian Husky dates all the way back to the ice age, when their traits were put to the test, and the breed was used to pull the sleds of humans and aid them in survival in the harsh conditions. With an impressive set of strength and high intelligence, the breed has been given the ability to master almost any terrain.

In 1908, Siberian Huskies were used for the first All-Alaskan Sweepstakes, an event where "mushers" take their dogs on a 408 mile long dog sled race. Being quite happy to work for hours on end, the breed is being used for those very same purposes to this very day. Although, a single Siberian would go through some trouble pulling a full sled on its own through the terrain, so instead, the true strength lies in numbers and as a team, they are able to accomplish an immense amount, pulling sleds and supplies while covering great distances.


The debate over how much weight a Siberian Husky can pull has been debated for years, and after conducting a little research, it seems as if the breed has the ability to pull the equivalent of it's own weight. In essence, if a Siberian Husky weighs 60 pounds, it will have the ability to pull roughly 60 pounds.
