Life Span of a Husky

Question
How long does a Siberan Husky live?

I have been told 10years, & I have been told 20years.  I am interested in owning a Husky, and I just want to know what to expect.  Thank you.

Answer
Hi Jason - thanks for writing.  Generally, the larger the breed, the shorter the life span.  While healthy toy breeds can live to be 20+ years, siberians usually live between 12-14 years.  Of course, there are exceptions.  My oldest was 17.  Good luck with your decision and let me know if I can help in the future.

Sincerely,

Beverly Layne
