Husky type dogs are energetic and athletic. They usually have a thick double coat. Huskies are known for pale blue eyes, although they may also have brown eyes and may even have yellow eyes.
Huskies are used in sled dog racing.
The word Husky originated from the word referring to Arctic people in general, Eskimos, “…known as Huskies, a contraction of Huskimos, the pronunciation given to the word Eskimos by the English sailors of trading vessels.” Use of Husky is recorded from 1852 for dogs kept by Eskimo people.
