The Yakutian Laika is an ancient Siberian breed with a rich heritage as a sled dog, hunter, and companion to the indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Known for its striking appearance, often featuring a thick double coat and strikingly vivid eyes, this medium-sized breed is both hardy and agile, excelling in harsh climates. Yakutian Laikas are intelligent, affectionate, and social, making them excellent family dogs when given ample physical and mental stimulation. Their playful and loyal nature, combined with their adaptability, allows them to thrive in active households where their working instincts can be channeled into meaningful activities.
