Puppies with husky hair are renowned for their incredible energy, lively dispositions, and striking good looks. They rapidly grow and develop from the moment of birth, changing with every month in both appearance and behavior. These growth phases can be interesting and useful information for anyone thinking about getting a husky puppy.
Each month brings new milestones for husky puppies, from their first steps and playful interactions to the development of their signature thick fur and piercing blue or brown eyes. Watching them grow is an exciting journey, and knowing what to expect along the way helps you better care for your furry friend.
This post will examine the major phases of husky puppy development month by month and includes lots of pictures to demonstrate how they change over time. These stages will give you a deeper look at what makes huskies so unique, whether you’re an avid fan or already own one.
Development by month
A dog’s early months of life are when their development is at its most active. After that, it slows down a bit and ends entirely after 10 to 12 months.
Puppy at birth
A newborn husky puppy’s weight ranges from 350 to 450 g, depending on the puppy’s gender, its parents’ traits, and the number of puppies in the litter. Puppies born early are invariably smaller and weaker than dogs born on schedule.
Babies are utterly defenseless in their early days of life; they cannot see or hear. Needs in mother’s milk, warmth, and sleep only. The breeder or owner must create a comfortable environment for the animal during this phase of development, including the right temperature, noise level, and lighting.

The puppies’ eyes open and their ears perk up on days 10 to 14. However, they still have poor vision and hearing. But they make an effort to explore—they run, crawl, and interact with other housemates.
The owner is already giving the puppies liquid and then soft complementary foods, but they still get plenty of their mother’s milk. keeps an eye on allergic reactions and how the baby’s gastrointestinal system reacts to new foods. The puppies weigh between 1.7 and 2 kg already, with proper care.

Small huskies grow into hilariously plump bears, reaching a weight of 3.8–4 kg and a height of 22–23 cm at the withers. Puppies transition to complementary soft and hard foods as they grow more self-sufficient. They "communicate" with their mother and play together. She is teaching them how to be dogs: how to greet and interact with family, how to hold their tails, and how to make different facial expressions and body postures.
Human education starts at this point; the puppy is getting used to the name and rules are established for him. It is crucial to complete this stage; otherwise, a misbehaving dog may become defiant and nearly unmanageable as an adult.

The puppy grows to be about twice as big—up to 7-8 kg. His "figure" starts to take on some adult husky characteristics. By the time it withers, the puppy is 32–33 cm tall, and his ears are raised.
At this stage of development, puppies are highly active, voracious eaters, and may feed up to six times a day. Young animals engage in games of attack, defense, and pursuit. They already regard someone as an older friend and have faith in him. Dogs at this age are already able to control the strength of their bites and understand what it is.
Two-month-old husky puppy:
3 months
A puppy that is three months old is switched to five meals a day. This is either premium puppy food or a naturally balanced diet of fresh, high-quality products. At this age, puppies find a new home. It is crucial that the owner not only provides a loving environment for the puppy, but also clearly establishes what is acceptable and unacceptable.
There is a noticeable weight gain in the dog. reach a height of 38–42 cm. He mimics the actions of an adult dog, runs smoothly, and "tells" with his tail how he is feeling.

4 months
The puppy weighs 11–14 kg, depending on gender and personal traits. He grows from a "child" to a teenager, reaching a height of 44–46 cm at the withers. Its husky body visibly grows longer and taller.
The dog can engage in active training and further education at this age. Teenage huskies already exhibit their obstinacy and attempt to control others. The pet’s ambition to take the lead and become the "leader of the pack" needs to be curbed by the owner. Intelligent huskies are fully aware of emotions, voice intonation, and raising intonation. It is inappropriate to physically punish a dog since it will grow up fearful, aggressive, and nervous.

The husky’s development slows down compared to its early months of life; at five months old, a puppy can weigh between 13 and 15 kg and stand 48 to 50 cm tall at the withers. The dog’s body shape becomes longer and more slender.
Education and training are ongoing. Walking, running, and playing on the playground require at least two hours each day of effort. This is essential to the animal’s growth. A husky’s ability to obey requires full physical exercise. When a dog "hasn’t had enough walks," it can become erratic, uneasy, and begin to damage the owner’s belongings. When they don’t get enough walks, sometimes hyperactive pets "cry" and become apathetic.

Dogs that are six months old weigh 16–18 kg. They grow to a good height of 50 to 55 cm. Meal frequency declines; the quantity of food consumed should be in line with the animal’s level of activity. The dog’s growth slows down a little, which eventually eliminates the need for "enhanced" feeding.
7-12 months
Next, a young husky goes through the following stages of development:
- 7 months. The "teenager" begins to resemble an adult dog in appearance, becomes 2-3 kg heavier. Its height is about 52-56 cm.
- 8 months. Girls are already starting their first heat, but mating is contraindicated – the dog"s body is not yet ready for motherhood. The weight of a Siberian Husky reaches 22-24 kg with a height at the withers of 54-57 cm.
- 9 months. The dog"s height is 54-58 cm, almost like an adult dog. The weight fluctuates between 24-26 kg.
- 10-12 months. The dog grows slightly, gains a little weight – up to 28 kg. At this age, the dog"s development slows down – it can boast the parameters of an adult husky.
The animal "matures," growing larger and more muscular, but it no longer grows. Its "figure" becomes harmonious, with girls appearing more graceful and boys more powerful. A man can weigh up to 40 kg with the right nutrition and care.

Adult animal
Adult huskies have a powerful, muscular body and a broad, sturdy skeleton. These animals are "seasoned," resilient, and graceful; their coarseness of form does not set them apart. Average adult animal parameters:
- Weight: 15-30 kg.
- Height at the withers: 50-62 cm.
- Body length: 50-60 cm.
- snow-white;
- gray;
- black;
- golden;
- copper;
- red.
The coat affects the color of the nose and eyes. The iris may have a blue, amber, or black hue. The eyes themselves have a friendly, mischievous, and slightly slanted appearance.
The breed is also distinguished by its closely spaced, strictly vertically upward-facing triangular ears. A husky’s head is always held high and proudly. When coupled with an exquisitely arched neck, this creates an elegant, noble stance.
The evenly pubescent tail of a husky resembles that of a fox. The dog gracefully bends into a "sickle" when it is tense. The coat is fluffy, loose, and silky. There are two types of hair: undercoat and awn.
Height and weight chart
The table shows the average indicators for puppies by month.
| Age (months) | Height (cm) at the withers | Weight (kg) |
| 1 | 20-23 | 3-4 |
| 2 | 23-30 | 4-6 |
| 3 | 30-40 | 6-9 |
| 4 | 40-45 | 10-13 |
| 5 | 45-50 | 13-17 |
| 6 | 50-52 | 17-20 |
| 7 | 50-55 | 20-23 |
| 8-9 | 50-57 | 23-25 |
| 10-12 | 50-60 | 25-30 |
Small variations from benchmark indicators don’t warrant alarm. These are unique aspects of puppy development brought about by nutrition, health, and heredity.
