Welcome to Baltic Huskies one of the forefronts of the Baltic Winters Sled Association (BSA)!
Please feel welcome to check out our sibling species: Baltic Reindeer!
We are all very happy to have you here! Please bear with us in the coming weeks as adopts and events are closed due to changes being made towards the set up of our own website!
About the Breed wrote:Baltic Huskies have changed over the years. The breed went dormant over some years, and during that time the bloodlines became a bit changed. Now, the original Baltic Husky looks a little different than the current breed!
These dogs still have strong, working group blood: they kept the Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, and Akita build, but it seems that the Canadian Eskimo dog was brought in with heavy influence in the most recent lines. Baltic Huskies are incredibly heavily built, with strong muscles and wide chests and necks. They have become one of the more ideal sledding dogs for their strength and size: they stay the size of a Siberian Husky, but have a more bulky build that is better for pulling. This includes their typically well muscled legs and shoulders that help them with endurance and keep high speeds. They also seem to retain the Belgian Tervuren intelligence, but with the Border Collie breed being mixed in with the more recent bloodlines: this high level of smarts seems to be higher than most working dogs, and while they have the Samoyed passive nature, these dogs can have a wild variation of personalities. Most are stubborn and headstrong, and very independent: however, it is not uncommon to find one that is incredibly protective of their family, including their team and owner.
Training and owning one of these dogs is fairly easy, though. Once you find what your dog strives for and likes, working with them can be a breeze! For this reason, Baltic Huskies do well in a variety of different tasks! They do well as service dogs, but it has been seen for Baltic Huskies to have capabilities for sports like agility or herding given their other descendants. When trained properly, they can make good family pets as well: as long as you take them on enough walks, or have a big enough yard to play in!
So why not dive right in, and get a Baltic Husky of your own?
