Did you know?
Husky is a general name for a type of dog used to pull sleds in northern regions. The word originated as a term for arctic people in general. According to the Dictionary of Newfoundland English, English sailors called the native Eskimos “Huskimos,” which was shortened to Husky. The name later extended to their dogs.
Huskies have a genetic closeness to the gray wolf and are energetic and athletic, with a thick double coat – perfect for cold climates – that can be black, gray, white, or copper-red. Many have striking blue eyes, although they may also be gray, brown, or yellow.
You may notice that your husky loves to run. It’s no coincidence – huskies were bred to run. More than 3,000 years ago, the Chukchi people of Siberia needed to expand their hunting ground, so they decided to produce the ideal sled dog that could withstand cold and display high endurance and survive with little food.

I have met many male Siberian huskies named Logan from X-Men Character Wolverine. My own husky is also named Logan. He named himself, we put names on pieces of paper and put them down in front of him, he picked up wolverine so we call him Logan. Logan fits him too. His demeanour is much like Logan from wolverine.
HAHA That is too cute… I’d totally name a husky Logan as well, BUT my nephew’s name is Logan, I don’t think my sister would appreciate that LMAO

My mom had like 6 huskies, and half of the names on here are one of there names. Well done on the website!
And also i’m getting 2 husky pups, and i have no idea what to name them. I all ready have these names for my other dogs: 1. Odie – bernese mountain dog cross with a pyrenees mountain dog and St. Bernard. 2. Griffin – pryenees marmmeera 3. Beryl. Bernese mountain dog and finally Miska our beautiful (like she’s so rare) silver and white husky. Please help me!! Btw, there both red and white huskies.
Togo was the legendary dog that was the hero. Not Balto. Balto was just an easy name to deem the hero. Check your history first.
My Husky Syberian name Madox
I just got a baby boy husky .. he is white and has streaks of yellow/gold.. need an Alaskan uncommon name. Thanks 😊
I’m getting a husky rescue tomorrow from an abusive situation…….Game of Thrones female name?? She’s a survivor….💗
I realize you’re probably just a kid who thinks they’re being informative but you probably should have read this a little better. It doesn’t say Balto was THE hero. It says “this legendary dog has quite the history” with Balto’s Wikipedia linked, which in no way disrespects Togo. They even included Togo’s name with his Wikipedia linked.
I get the frustration. I waited years for Togo and his team to finally get the recognition they deserved but that doesn’t mean the other teams aren’t heroes. Every single dog (and human) from every team is a hero, same for anyone who helped along the way.
My female huskies name is Spirit
Kacoa is good name
i love cats and dogs alot but husky’s are adorable
Ok tnx for the names but im thinking to name my 2 huskies
