lineage of dog that came from Siberia dating back 4000 years or more. The Chukchi, an ancient Siberian hunting

sled dogs. In only five and a half days the relay teams reach Nome with the serum saving lives from dying of the
disease.
The Siberian husky dog is a medium sized dog, growing in height for males 21 to 23.5 inches and females 20 to 22
inches. Their weight ranges from 46 to 60 pounds for males and 35 to 50 pounds for females. This breed of dog
