300+ Husky Dog Names (With Meanings)
The Wonderful Husky Companion
Husky dogs are most well known for pulling sleds. However, these wonderful canines can make great additions to your family. Husky dogs are energetic and have a double-thick coat. That means they love walks no matter the weather. In addition, they self-regulate their temperature with their diet. If they live in warm weather, they will eat less. If they live in cold weather, they eat more. These are just a few reasons why husky dogs make wonderful pets.
Take a look at this list of husky dog names and find the one that matches your specific bundle of fur.
