It shares specific traits with other northern breeds, such as having a thick double coat with a soft undercoat underneath a longer and harder outer coat that protects the skin.
The thick soft undercoat helps to keep the dog warm while the outer coat protects the skin and keeps water out.
The Husky has an attractive tail that never curves or turns backward. The tail only hangs down when the dog is resting. He has an athletic figure that is slightly longer than his height, exhibiting balance and grace.
Typically, his eyes are brown or blue. Sometimes, he may have a unique trait known as heterochromia, whereby one eye is a different color from the other.
His face displays a white mask, and his expression is always friendly, exhibiting readiness for action like that of an animal. His ears are of medium size, erect with a triangular shape, and his coat color ranges from white to black.
