Description

The East Siberian Laika is much calmer than the Russian-European Laika and is more likely to be trained to be obedient. Nevertheless, one should not necessarily keep him in the city, since he is also wolf-like and loves freedom. He is well suited as a sled dog. He needs a lot of exercise, but no grooming.
