It's no secret that Siberian Huskies are the most independent and intelligent companions you'll ever have. But just like humans, they come with many surprising things, too, and we're going to share them here in this article.

Here are 15 things only Siberian Husky owners understand.

#1 This beautiful dog is highly adaptable and once he feels at home, he’ll choose his favorite spots to rest or play and these will become his.

#4 Siberian Huskies are great communicators and it doesn’t take long to learn what the different positions and expressions they use mean.

#5 Your Siberian Husky isn’t predisposed to being aggressive or picking fights. He’d rather just spend time being close to you or cuddling when you sit in your chair or on the couch.
