I have a Husky as a pet. Do you own any animals?
I have a Chihuahua, Huskies are cool, they are a sled-type dogs that were used in northern regions which I love.
Are they used for any other activities other then sledding?
Of course they're also kept as pets. Sometimes retired Huskies from racing are being assigned to new homes.
Very nice. I would love to actually watch a Husky in action during a race

The Mackenzie River husky is a subtype referring to different dog populations in the subarctic regions of the American state of Alaska and Canada.
The Alaskan husky is not considered a pure breed but is another subtype. It is defined only by its purpose, which is that of a highly efficient sled dog.
Alternate activities.
Since many owners now have husky dogs as pets in settings that are not ideal for sledding, other activities have been found that are good for the dog and fun for the owner.
