西伯利亚哈士奇的官方标准--附详解

西伯利亚哈士奇的官方标准--附详解
(本文经由美国西伯利亚哈士奇俱乐部审定)


一个品类的标准是写成的文件,用以指导在演示场的评判选择,该标准力图用该品类的外型、健全和气质描述出其理想的标本。"外型"是指综合的毛皮特征,脑壳的形状、身体的比例以及其它所有足以认出该品类特征的构成部分。"健全"是指其结构组成能使一只狗有效地完成规定功能和在比赛中很好地运动,好的"气质"首先是该狗不会在比赛中试图去咬裁判并依据其品类的功能在随后有所改变。

像上面所述那样,我们极为幸运的是最早的品类标准已经被人制定出来了,那些人就是在被称为西伯利亚哈士奇的动物刚到达北美洲就看见了它们并对其进行研究工作的人们,他们发现了各种不同的皮毛颜色、眼睛颜色及各种条纹变化,并将这些早期的狗描述浓缩总结为一种对称成比例、机敏、多才多艺的运动员。

自从1932年首次发布该品类的标准以来,这个官方文本在每一个十年间几乎都没有什么修正和澄清,事实上,本文所述的"建议标准修订"是经由美国西伯利亚哈士奇俱乐部董事会审定的。但无论如何这些修订的目的仅仅是将这些早期的动物已经展示出的特性用更准确的词语表达出来以适合最新的狗解剖学知识。潮流或时髦总是随时间在展示场上不断改变的,一个个体除非符合了这些标准的各条细节,否则不管为何时髦,赢得了多少奖项也不是一只好的西伯利亚哈士奇。本章的图片中所示的1930年代末期的一个优胜者,它当时的体型和身体比例至今仍是一个优秀的样本。

现在的标准是1971年认定并于1990年修订的。

总 论

西伯利亚哈士奇是一种中型的工作犬,足步轻盈快捷,行动优雅自号,它适度结实和良好的皮毛、直竖的耳朵、毛刷式的尾巴都提示了它的北方动物遗传特性,它特有的步态是平顺,似乎不花任何力气,在日常工作中它尤其能出色地执行其天生的功能:以平缓的速度负载不重的货物走很长的距离,其身体的比例和构成反映出它力量速度和耐力的基本平衡。西伯利亚哈士奇公狗雄赳赳但绝不粗暴;母狗柔和而并不虚弱,在合适的条件下,西伯利亚哈士奇肌肉结实,发育良好,体重不过量。

注释:西伯利亚哈士奇相当直白地说就是一种上天创造的满足独特需求的狗,只需简朴的动物饲养而能适应相当严酷的环境,因此以下的简要说明是一条很有节制的法则,即便是最死板的学究也会接受,我们看到在若干语句中均提到哈士奇是"中型"的"适度结实",这对应了"力量、速度和耐力的平衡",而"公狗雄赳赳但绝不粗暴"和"母狗柔和而并不虚弱"均应当是"干状态",即不过重,既不肥胖也不消瘦,我们也发现以下法则的原因是由西伯利亚犬的原始功能就是"载不重的货物,以平缓的速度通过很长的距离",这些话对理解西伯利亚犬的形态是极为重要的。因为虽然我们已经了解到该犬种在北极和南极探险中及拉雪撬比赛中的很多技能,但它并不是一种牵拉重负的动物,也洋是一个短跑选手,喂养哈士奇是用来拉较轻的货物,一天内经常是跑100英里(合160.9公里),这样的工作要求狗的"步伐轻盈快捷,行动优雅自如“任何粗陋、笨重”的运动都不能保持这种狗的步态,任何过于精细的事又不为需要这种狗的力量和耐力。

尺寸,比例,体质

高度:公狗21至此23 英寸(肩胛位),母狗20至22英寸(肩胛位),体重、公狗45至60磅,母狗:35至50磅,重量与高度成比例,上述测量尺寸为高度和重量的极限尺寸,不带任何偏爱,任何超出该骨骼尺寸和重量的狗均不可取,从侧面看,狗前肩部至臀部后点的长度略大于甲部至地面的高度,不合格:公狗超过23 英寸,母狗超出22英寸。

注释:尺寸是西伯利亚犬的综合特性,就是皮毛的质地,耳朵为竖立一样,与其行动的特征同样重要,尺寸小于标准的狗缺乏好的雪撬狗的力量,而尺寸大于标准的狗可能缺乏速度和耐久力。所以,再重复一次,所定出的标准是稳健的,绝对不带偏爱,认识到这一点非常重要,甚至在一个大规模的竞赛中,一些大的犬只仅因尺寸超出标准而被立即出局,不过尺寸也并非绝对,那些身体尺寸比例在标准范围内的狗将被仔细地比较,记得当时的著名冠军狗托果仅重48磅,而那时流行的体重应该在50磅左右。注意到这一点也很有趣,即坚持这一中型尺寸的规定所可能带来的副作用是哈士奇的爱好者,到目前为止避免了那些饲养大型犬更好点的人所遇到的许多问题。这个品类的犬只臀部发育不良和软骨病都是很少见的。

标准修订委员会所考虑的一个重要项目是本章所述的高度与身长的比例的标准是否应该更精确一些。通过对几百只正在工作中的哈士奇狗的研究表明它们的身长(从胸骨至后退骨),仅比其身高(从肩胛至地面)长7~11%,有12%的犬只仅因身长太长而缺乏耐久力,象大多数流行的理想竞赛狗一样,哈士奇几乎是方形的(身高与身长相同),同一研究也发现腿长至少要比胸部深度大10%以上,正如库蒂斯·布朗对赛马耐力的通用研究结论一样。

头 部

表情:敏锐但友善;有趣甚至有点淘气,眼睛:杏仁形,眼距适中略上斜,眼睛的颜色或许是棕色或蓝色,二只眼睛各一色或杂色也是可以的。缺陷:眼睛过于斜置,眼距过小。

耳朵:尺寸中等、三角形、两只耳朵长得较靠近,在头的顶部。耳朵厚实,有良好的皮毛,后部略成拱形,牢固地竖立,耳尖稍圆,直指向上。缺陷:耳朵与头的比例过大;两耳间距过宽,不能牢固竖起。

脑壳:尺寸中等,与身体成比例,顶部稍圆,从最宽处逐渐斜向眼睛部位,缺陷:脑袋粗陋笨重,头部线条雕琢过细。

口角:界限明确,鼻梁从这里直至鼻尖。缺陷:不足没开口口角。

吻部:中等长度,即指鼻尖到口角的长度等于口角到后头顶部的长度,吻部宽度中等,逐渐倾斜至鼻,在鼻尖部既不太尖也不太方,缺陷:过精细或过粗劣,过短或过长。

注意:灰中有黑,棕色或黑色,铜色中青赤褐色,纯白带肉色,粉红色条纹的"雪鼻"也可以接受。

唇:富有颜色,闭合适当。

牙齿:咬合时成剪刀状。缺陷:任何不成剪状咬合。

注释:头与皮毛类型,身体总的尺寸和比例一起,是一个品类的主要指标,因此,头是评定任何一个纯种的狗的重要因素,曾经有过这样的议论,头基本上只是一个美观与否的,与一个品种的实际功能没有什么关系,这当然是全然不对的。

例如一条西伯利亚犬不得不在北极气候的严酷环境中生存,不只是皮毛很好保护的耳朵就行了,还大致可得到这样的结论:其耳朵须比德国牧羊犬的小,以免严寒的伤害。竖立的耳朵也比下垂的耳朵更有效地抵抗传染病.

综上所诉,能使西伯利亚哈士奇爱好者更好地理解如何去看一只好的比赛犬,帮助去更深地认识一只哈士奇雪橇犬.纵观大陆哈士奇市场,有一不份人单纯地去追求身形硕大,黑白蓝眼(或用混种够来串),其实这些看法是对哈士奇犬种在中国发展的磨灭,对国际犬种标准的扼杀,这和犬只的"反祖"现象有什么区别?犬种的标准是多年来不断的专业化繁殖,不断的优胜劣汰产生出来的,不是可以蒙骗的.任何一只哈士奇只要达到标准才是合格.不足或超过标准都是缺点.

值得一提的是,哈士奇的爱好者不但要注意"中型"的"适度结实","公狗雄赳赳但决不粗笨"和"母狗柔和而并不虚弱"后,也要去注意一下此犬种的“脸谱",对于一条形态合理,步容优美的的竞赛犬而言,能配上一张漂亮的"脸谱"和"活泼可爱"的模样也非常之重要,他能更好地打动观众及裁判的新.

西伯利亚哈士奇(siberian husky)是原始的古老犬种,名字的由来是源自哈士奇独特的嘶哑叫声。在西伯利亚东北部的原始部落楚克奇族(Chukchi)人,用这种外型酷似狼的犬种作为最原始的交通工具来拉雪橇,并用这种狗猎取和饲养驯鹿,或者繁殖这种狗然后带出他们居住的冻土地带来换取温饱。由于哈士奇体型小巧结实,胃口小,无体臭且耐寒非常适应极地的气候环境,而成为楚克奇人的重要财产。
1909年由一个俄国的皮毛商人”william goosak”带第一队这种楚克奇族人的狗到了阿拉斯加一个叫”nome”的小镇来参加当地举办的狗拉雪橇比赛。这种楚克奇族人的狗以超快的速度和坚韧的毅力开始被当地的狗拉雪橇爱好者而喜爱。从此以后这些拥有着小而紧凑身材的美丽犬种开始在阿拉斯加被当地人所认可。
1925年1月阿拉斯加偏僻小镇nome白喉流行,由于最近存有血清的城市远在955英里以外,当运送血清至离nome 657英里的地方本有直升机可供运送,但是刚巧直升机驾驶回内地休假且无人能架直升机。为了快速运回治疗白喉的血清,决定用哈士奇雪橇队代替运送,657英里的路程照当时正常的运送速度来算差不多需要25天时间,由于病症快速蔓延,接受任务的雪橇队决定以接力运送的方式运送血清,在雪橇队全力以赴的前提下,只用了5天半时间就完成了任务,挽救了无数的生命。为当时领队的头狗togo已经十多岁了,长途跋涉后由于腿部受伤而退出雪橇比赛,并于1929年死亡,遗体存放在美国国家博物馆,纽约中央公园设有togo 的纪念碑,供后人瞻仰。
哈士奇虽然很早就到达了美国,但是美国纯种狗俱乐部(the American kennel club)却到1930年才正式编哈士奇入纯种狗行列,并制定了犬种标准。后来一些美国的哈士奇犬友又在1938成立了美国哈士奇俱乐部(siberian husky culb of American)简称SHCA,从此哈士奇真正的开始被全世界所接受。 

西伯利亚雪橇犬AKC品质标准
属工作犬

一般外观
西伯利亚雪橇犬属于中型工作犬,脚步轻快,动作优美。身体紧凑,有着很厚的被毛,耳朵直立,尾巴象刷子,显示出北方地区的遗传特征。步态很有特点:平滑、不费力。他最早的作用就是拉小车,现在仍十分擅长此项工作,拖曳较轻载重量时能以中等速度行进相当远的距离。他的身体比例和体形反映了力量、速度和忍耐力的最基本的平衡状况。雄性肌肉发达,但是轮廓不粗糙;雌性充满女性美,但是不孱弱。在正常条件下,一只肌肉结实、发育良好的西伯利亚雪橇犬也不能拖曳过重的东西。

颈、背线、躯体
颈:长度适中、拱形,犬站立时直立昂起。小跑时颈部伸展,头略微向前伸。缺陷:颈部过短,过粗;过长。胸:深,强壮,但是不太宽,最深点正好位于肘部的后面,并且与其水平。肋骨从脊椎向外充分扩张,但是侧面扁平,以便自由活动。缺陷:胸部过宽;“桶状肋骨”;肋骨太平坦或无力。背部:背直而强壮,从马肩隆到臀部的背线平直。中等长度,不能因为身体过长而变圆或松弛。腰部收紧,倾斜,比胸腔窄,轻微折起。臀部以一定的角度从脊椎处下溜,但是角度不能太陡,以免影响后腿的后蹬力。缺陷:背部松弛,无力;拱状的背部;背线倾斜。
尾巴
尾巴上的毛很丰富,像狐狸尾巴,恰好位于背线之下,犬立正时尾巴通常以优美的镰刀形曲线背在背上。尾巴举起时不卷在身体的任何一侧,也不平放在背上。正常情况下,应答时犬会摇动尾巴。尾巴上的毛中等长度,上面、侧面和下面的毛长度基本一致,因此看起来很像一个圆的狐狸尾巴。缺陷:尾巴平放或紧紧地卷着;尾根的位置太高或太低。
前半身
肩部:肩胛骨向后收。从肩点到肘部,上臂有一个略微向后的角度,不能与地面垂直。肩部和胸腔间的肌肉和韧带发达。缺陷:肩部笔直;肩部松弛。前腿:站立时从前面看,腿之间的距离适中,平行,笔直,肘部接近身体,不向里翻,也不向外翻。从侧面看,骨交节有一定的倾斜角度,强壮、灵活。骨骼结实有力,但是不显沉重。腿从肘部到地面的距离略大于肘部到马肩隆顶部的长度。前腿的上爪可以去除。倾斜:骨交节无力;骨骼太笨重;从前面看两腿分得太宽或太窄;肘部外翻。椭圆形的脚,不长。爪子中等大小,紧密,脚趾和肉垫间有丰富的毛。肉垫紧密,厚实。当犬自然站立时,脚爪不能外翻或内翻。缺陷:八字脚,或脚趾无力;脚爪太大、笨拙;脚爪太小、纤细;脚趾内翻或外翻。

被毛
西伯利亚雪橇犬的被毛为双层,中等长度,看上去毛很浓密,但是不能太长掩盖犬本身清晰的轮廓。下层毛柔软,浓密,长度足以支撑外层被毛。外层毛的粗毛平直,光滑伏贴,不粗糙,不能直立。应该指出的是,换毛期没有下层被毛是正常的。可以修剪胡须以及脚趾间和脚周围的毛,以使外表看起来更整洁。修剪其他部位的毛是不能允许的,并要受到严厉惩罚。缺陷:被毛长,粗糙,杂乱蓬松;质地太粗糙或太柔滑;修剪除上述被允许的部位以外的被毛。
颜色
从黑到纯白的所有颜色都可以接受。头部有一些其他色斑是常见的,包括许多其他品种未发现的图案。
步态
西伯利亚雪橇犬的标准步态是平稳舒畅,看上去不费力。脚步快而轻,在比赛场地时不要拉得太紧,应该中速快跑,展示前肢良好的伸展性以及后肢强大的驱动力。行进时从前向后看,西伯利亚雪橇犬不是单向运动,随着速度的加快,腿逐渐向前伸展,直至脚趾全部落在身体纵向中轴线上。当脚印集中在一条线上后,前腿和后腿都笔直地向前伸出,肘部和膝关节都不能外翻或内翻。每条后腿都按照同侧前腿的路线运动。犬运步时,背线保持紧张和水平。缺陷:短,跳跃式或起伏式的步法;行动笨拙或滚动步法;交叉或螃蟹式的步法。
性情
西伯利亚雪橇犬的典型性格为友好,温柔,警觉并喜欢交往。他不会呈现出护卫犬强烈的领地占有欲,不会对陌生人产生过多的怀疑,也不会攻击其他犬类。成年犬应该具备一定程度的谨慎和威严。此犬种聪明,温顺,热情,是合适的伴侣和忠诚的工作者。
总结
西伯利亚雪橇犬最重要的特征是中等体型,适中的骨骼,比例平衡,行动自如,特有的被毛,可爱的头部和耳朵,正确的尾巴,以及良好的性格。如果骨骼外观过于夸张或体重超重,步法拘禁或笨拙,被毛长,粗糙都会受到处罚。西伯利亚雪橇犬不能出现超重,外貌粗鲁,以至于像一个做苦功的;或者体重太轻,纤细,类似赛跑犬。无论公母,西伯利亚雪橇犬都表现出强大的忍耐力。虽然这里没有明确指出,但是除了上面提到的那些缺陷,一些适用于所有犬种的明显的身体结构缺陷也适用于西伯利亚雪橇犬的评判。
不合格
雄性犬高于23英寸,雌性犬高于22英寸。

哈士奇的毛质分析
西伯利亚雪橇狗以具备坚韧的毅力而闻名于世,在寒冷的西伯利亚他们需要适应日夜几十度的巨大温差.
一条合格的哈士奇一定有着一身独特的毛层来低档恶劣的环境.哈士奇的毛有2层,外毛和绒毛,其中外毛分成2段,通常可以看到顶端深色发亮,低端毛质粗而相对淡色.这顶端发亮的毛叫\"SILVER TIPS \"(银尖)是用来抵挡紫外光和炽热的太阳所发出的热量;粗壮的毛根紧紧的生长在皮肤内,所以一般来说哈士奇的外毛相对不容易掉毛.哈士奇的内毛(绒毛)和外毛的比例一般来说为8(内毛):1(外毛),这些丰厚的内毛会分泌一种油脂用来防水,也是由于这种油脂才恰到好处的营造了一个非常科学的隔热层(INSULATION),低档外界的炎热和寒冷.
正因为有了这一身护身宝衣,才可以使哈士奇适应各种气候,尽量的保持哈士奇生活在干燥的环境里,洗澡以后尽可能的用风筒吹干,毛和皮肤对于哈士奇来说简直太重要了,如果由于患皮肤病而引起大量掉毛,哈士奇将忍受炎热的痛苦,情况严重的话紫外线的直射甚至会导致他患上皮肤癌.如果有您的细心呵护,作为家养的宠物不管是广东还是东北,哈士奇都可以成为最健康和最温顺美丽的宝贝.
哈士奇的肠胃功能
哈士奇的肠胃功能比较独特,对蛋白质和脂肪的要求比较高,所以建议饲喂幼犬粮到18个月龄以后才改喂成犬狗粮.平时可以适当一些鱼类或者牛羊肉类适当加以补充促进发育,对钙的要求也相对较高,每周几次钙片或钙粉对于哈士奇是非常必要的.对于狗粮的品牌,由于哈士奇的肠胃功能差异较大所以最好视狗而定,尽量找一些蛋白质和脂肪含量高的优质狗粮.如果没有条件可以适当在狗粮里添加一些鸡肉,羊肉,牛肉,猪肉或者海鱼等来补充一些蛋白质。
哈士奇的运动量
哈士奇的在拉雪橇比赛中赛的是速度而非力量,所以平时体能训练最主要的就是速度,每日速跑和慢跑几次对于show dog来说是非常有必要的,在整个运动过程当中,前后肢尽量的伸展对于哈士奇的形体将会有无可厚非的帮助.建议pet dog每日一到二次的运动,每次半小时左右.show dog每日3次以上运动每次20到30分钟为佳.

The Standard for Siberian Huskies
Approved by the American Kennel Club, October 8, 1990
Effective November 28, 1990
General Appearance
The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog, quick and light on his feet and free and graceful in action. His moderately compact and well-furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He performs his original function in harness most capably, carrying a light load at a moderate speed over great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this basic balance of power, speed and endurance. The males of the Siberian Husky breed are masculine but never coarse; the XXes are feminine but without weakness of structure. In proper condition, with muscle firm and well developed, the Siberian Husky does not carry excess weight.

Size, Proportion, Substance
Height: Dogs, 21 to 23 1/2 inches at the withers. XXes, 20 to 22 inches at the withers.
Weight: Dogs, 45 to 60 pounds. XXes, 35 to 50 pounds. Weight is in proportion to height. The measurements mentioned above represent the extreme height and weight limits with no preference given to either extreme. Any appearance of excessive bone or weight should be penalized. In profile, the length of the body from the point of the shoulder to the rear point of the croup is slightly longer than the height of the body from the ground to the top of the withers.

Disqualification: Dogs over 23 1/2 inches and XXes over 22 inches.

Head
Expression: Is keen, but friendly; interested and even mischievous.

Eyes: Almond shaped, moderately spaced and set a trifle obliquely. Eyes may be brown or blue in color; one of each or parti-colored are acceptable. Faults: Eyes set too obliquely; set too close together.

Ears: Of medium size, triangular in shape, close fitting and set high on the head. They are thick, well furred, slightly arched at the back, and strongly erect, with slightly rounded tips pointing straight up. Faults: Ears too large in proportion to the head; too wide-set; not strongly erect.

Skull: Of medium size and in proportion to the body; slightly rounded on top and tapering from the widest point to the eyes. Faults: Head clumsy or heavy; head too finely chiseled.

Stop: The stop is well-defined and the bridge of the nose is straight from the stop to the tip. Fault: Insufficient stop.

Muzzle: Of medium length; that is, the distance from the tip of the nose to the stop is equal to the distance from the stop to the occiput. The muzzle is of medium width, tapering gradually to the nose, with the tip neither pointed nor square. Faults: Muzzle either too snipy or too coarse; muzzle too short or too long.

Nose: Black in gray, tan or black dogs; liver in copper dogs; may be flesh-colored in pure white dogs. The pink-streaked \"snow nose\" is acceptable.

Lips: Are well pigmented and close fitting.

Teeth: Closing in a scissors bite. Fault: any bite other than scissors.

Neck, Topline, Body
Neck: Medium in length, arched and carried proudly erect when dog is standing. When moving at a trot, the neck is extended so that the head is carried slightly forward. Faults: Neck too short and thick; neck too long.

Chest: Deep and strong, but not too broad, with the deepest point being just behind and level with the elbows. The ribs are well-sprung from the spine but flattened on the sides to allow for freedom of action. Faults: Chest too broad; \"barrel ribs;\" ribs too flat or weak.

Back: The back is straight and strong, with a level topline from withers to croup. It is of medium length, neither cobby nor slack from excessive length. The loin is taut and lean, narrower than the rib cage, and with a slight tuck-up. The croup slopes away from the spine at an angle, but never so steeply as to restrict the rearward thrust of the hind legs. Faults: Weak or slack back; roached back; sloping topline.

Tail
The well-furred tail of fox-brush shape is set on just below the level of the topline, and is usually carried over the back in a graceful sickle curve when the dog is at attention. When carried up, the tail does not curl to either side of the body, nor does it snap flat against the back. A trailing tail is normal for the dog when in repose. Hair on the tail is of medium length and approximately the same length on top, sides and bottom, giving the appearance of a round brush. Faults: A snapped or tightly curled tail; highly plumed tail; tail set too low or too high.

Forequarters
Shoulders: The shoulder blade is well laid back. The upper arm angles slightly backward from point of shoulder to elbow, and is never perpendicular to the ground. The muscles and ligaments holding the shoulder to the rib cage are firm and well-developed. Faults: Straight shoulders; loose shoulders.

Forelegs: When standing and viewed from the front, the legs are moderately spaced, parallel and straight, with the elbows close to the body and turned neither in nor out. Viewed from the side, pasterns are slightly slanted, with the pastern joint strong, but flexible. Bone is substantial but never heavy. Length of the leg from elbow to ground is slightly more than the distance from the elbow to the top of withers. Dewclaws on forelegs may be removed. Faults: Weak pasterns; too heavy bone; too narrow or too wide in the front; out at the elbows.

Feet: Oval in shape but not long. The paws are medium in size, compact and well-furred between the toes and pads. The pads are tough and thickly cushioned. The paws neither turn in nor out when the dog is in natural stance. Faults: Soft or splayed toes; paws too large and clumsy; paws too small and delicate; toeing in or out.

Hindquarters
When standing and viewed from the rear, the hind legs are moderately spaced and parallel. The upper thighs are well-muscled and powerful, the stifles well bent, the hock joint well defined and set low to the ground. Dewclaws, if any, are to be removed. Faults: Straight stifles, cowhocks, too narrow or too wide in the rear.

Coat
The coat of the Siberian Husky is double and medium in length, giving a well-furred appearance, but is never so long as to obscure the clean-cut outline of the dog. The undercoat is soft and dense and of sufficient length to support the outer coat. The guard hairs of the outer coat are straight and somewhat smooth-lying, never harsh nor standing straight off from the body. It should be noted that the absence of the undercoat during the shedding season is normal Trimming of whiskers and fur between the toes and around the feet to present a neater appearance is permissible. Trimming the fur on any other part of the dog is not to be condoned and should be severely penalized. Faults: Long, rough, or shaggy coat; texture too harsh or too silky; trimming of the coat, except as permitted above.

Color
All colors from black to pure white are allowed. A variety of markings on the head is common, including many striking patterns not found in other breeds.

Gait
The Siberian Husky\'s characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He is quick and light on his feet, and when in the show ring should be gaited on a loose lead at a moderately fast trot, exhibiting good reach in the forequarters and good drive in the hindquarters. When viewed from the front to rear while moving at a walk the Siberian Husky does not single-track, but as the speed increases the legs gradually angle inward until the pads are falling on a line directly under the longitudinal center of the body. As the pad marks converge, the forelegs and hind legs are carried straight forward, with neither elbows nor stifles turned in or out. Each hind leg moves in the path of the foreleg on the same side. While the dog is gaiting, the topline remains firm and level. Faults: Short, prancing or choppy gait, lumbering or rolling gait; crossing or crabbing.

Temperament
The characteristic temperament of the Siberian Husky is friendly and gentle, but also alert and outgoing. He does not display the possessive qualities of the guard dog, nor is he overly suspicious of strangers or aggressive with other dogs. Some measure of reserve and dignity may be expected in the mature dog. His intelligence, tractability, and eager disposition make him an agreeable companion and willing worker.

Summary
The most important breed characteristics of the Siberian Husky are medium size, moderate bone, well balanced proportions, ease and freedom of movement, proper coat, pleasing head and ears, correct tail, and good disposition. Any appearance of excessive bone or weight, constricted or clumsy gait, or long, rough coat should be penalized. The Siberian Husky never appears so heavy or coarse as to suggest a freighting animal; nor is he so light and fragile as to suggest a sprint-racing animal. In both sexes the Siberian Husky gives the appearance of being capable of great endurance. In addition to the faults already noted, the obvious structural faults common to all breeds are as undesirable in the Siberian Husky as in any other breed, even though they are not specifically mentioned herein.

Disqualification
Dogs over 23 1/2 inches and XXes over 22 inches.
