Yakutian Laika
Yakutian Laikas (40-55 pounds) are friendly, energetic, and hardy, ideal for active owners. They’re good with kids when socialized but may be lively for toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, sledding or hiking) suits them; their thick coat needs frequent brushing.
Feed 2-3 cups daily of Royal Canin Medium Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, with 25% protein for their energy and coat health. Monitor portions to stay lean. Best for outdoor living in cooler climates with indoor access, they’re not for apartments.
Training curbs wandering. Perfect for outdoorsy owners, Laikas thrive with space, not for urban homes.
