Why are Huskies so vocal and dramatic? Is their howling normal?

Question

Is there any behavioral or breeding history as to why huskies can be dramatic and vocal? I know at least 15 of them and I love the breed, but I can’t help but laugh at them when they have these episodes. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 75 lbs

Suzy and her friends are not being "dramatic." You have to remember that, as northern breed dogs, Siberians typically don't have neighbors close by. They set up a howl to reach greater distances. The characteristics of the howl have different meanings to them, too. The flip side of this is that they rarely ever bark, which is great if you live in a densely-populated area. Start listening carefully to the howling. You'll often find that, no matter how many dogs are involved, when one stops they all stop at the same time.
