Like the Alaskan malamute, Siberian huskies most closely resemble wolves. Since they share more similarities with their ancient ancestors than other breeds, they have undergone less drastic human intervention. The healthiest huskies are raised as working dogs instead of as pets. Like other large dogs, huskies can develop hip dysplasia as they age. They are also prone to eye conditions. However, since this breed typically suffers only from minor health problems, Siberian huskies live 11 to 13 years.
