The name’s Potter. Harry Potter.
Biking, canicross, snowboarding – the typical likes of your average husky, at least, in the case of Harry Potter. And before you say it, no, we are not getting a dog confused with the wizard with the peculiar scar – we are talking about Harry Potter, the sport obsessed four-year-old Siberian Husky.
Huskies are known for their love of the cold weather, so snow is the ultimate climate for pups like Harry Potter. It’s this love of snow embedded in their nature that has brought about this pups particular love for winter sports. Although, he doesn’t mind the summer sun either!
Like any other husky, Harry Potter is extremely social and affectionate, particularly towards people. Maybe it’s their shared love of sport that bonds them together, or maybe it’s the love and hugs he receives that he cannot get from dogs – knowing Harry Potter, it’s a bit of both! He is smart. He is very talkative and has an opinion about anything and everything, yet he’s quiet and gentle with children. All of the sports he does on top of being the enthusiastic dog he already is, Harry Potter always finds time to rest. When he visits his villa in the summer his owners often find him sunbathing outside.
Don’t be fooled though – this husky has his fears. After spending his life consumed in the snow and mountains, Harry Potter visited the beach for the first time in the summer, where although he loved the sun and sand, the sea was another story. Harry Potter was more than happy doing his thing, running around off leash, knocking over sand castles, covering his owners in sand, but as soon as his owner stepped foot into the water, his feelings changed. Harry Potter did not like this idea. His owner tried to encourage him into the water to play but he refused to listen. He barked and barked, getting louder as his owner ventured deeper into the ocean.
Dogs are like people – they have their likes and dislikes, their fears and their havens, and it’s clear that this husky’s haven is most definitely the snowy mountains. He loves his time spent in the snow, especially in the winter when it’s extra cold. Running, jumping, rolling around in the snow, this pup needs no hat or scarf! Harry Potter the Siberian was born to be a snow dog. Typical husky.
