The Vostochno-Sibirskaia Laika, or East Siberian Laika, is a type of hunting dog native to Russia's Siberian east. Laikas are a type of hunting dog that can be employed for a number of purposes, including tracking, sledding, and hunting.
- The East Siberian Laika is a dog breed that thrives in the severe environment and rocky landscape of Siberia. They have a well-deserved reputation for toughness, sturdiness, and resilience in the face of subzero conditions. The thick double coat of these medium-sized canines provides excellent insulation from the cold. They are typically used to hunt both huge wildlife like bears and lesser prey like squirrels or birds, and they have a wolf-like look.
- In addition to hunting, East Siberian Laikas are loyal and protective friends for their owners. They need to be trained and socialized to become well-behaved pets because they are smart and independent. This breed has been widely used by humans for many years in Siberia, and its popularity in the region as a hunting companion and household pet has only increased over time.
