Siberian Husky
Huskies, another popular breed, are also very common. They are beautiful, friendly and athletic. However, if you have allergies, this breed may not be suitable for your household. The hair that is shed by Huskies, and other double-coated dogs, can be a nuisance in the house. In their Arctic homes, the thick fur keeps them warm. These breeds are often at the top of the list for excessive shedders.
