Husky Dog

In addition crossbreeding is popular for pets, combining characteristics of the parents in unique ways. Crossbred pets are often given whimsical "breed" names made up of syllables of the breed names of both parent dogs such as Huskimo, a Siberian Husky and American Eskimo cross. Cross-bred working dogs are not given such whimsical identifiers and are just called "Huskies".
Alternate activities
Since many owners now have Husky dogs as pets in settings that are not ideal for sledding, then other activities have been found which are good for the dog and fun for the owner.
