About

What is a East Siberian Laika?

Medium to large rugged spitz-type hunting dog from the Siberian taiga with erect ears, curled tail, and thick double coat. Built for harsh climates with strong working drive and balanced temperament.

East Siberian Laika history and origins

Developed from aboriginal spitz-type dogs by indigenous peoples of the East Siberian taiga region for hunting big game including bear and wild boar. Standardized in mid-20th century for versatile hunting abilities and adaptability to harsh climates.

East Siberian Laika appearance and size

Males typically weigh 18-23 kg and stand 56-64 cm at the shoulder; females 16-20 kg and 53-61 cm.

East Siberian Laika temperament and personality

Generally described as independent, alert, intelligent, courageous, loyal and work-focused.

That is the breed in general, not a promise about one animal. Ask the breeder what their own line is like, and meet the parents before you decide.

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI; The Dog API. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · East Siberian Laika

Pelo y color

Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar, etiquetada con permissible.

Coat

Outer coat is harsh and straight.

Undercoat is well developed, soft, rich and woolly.

The coat on the head and ears is dense, short and shining.

The coat on shoulders and the neck is longer than on the body and forms a collar

on the cheekbones it forms side-whiskers.

In males the coat on the withers is longer.

Limbs are covered with short, harsh, dense coat, which is only slightly longer on the back side of the fore limbs.

The coat on the back of the rear legs forms trousers without feathering.

There is a protective growth of brush-like hair between the toes.

The tail is profusely covered with straight and harsh hair that is just slightly longer on the underside but without feathering

Color

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» y «disqualifying» — preferido, admisible, indeseable y descalificante — son las palabras de la propia FCI sobre la raza, y quedan en inglés porque así constan en el estándar. Describen lo que el estándar pide — no son una valoración de ningún perro concreto, ni nuestra.

  • The most typical colours are black and tan, black, black and white, white and white with patches – piebald.
  • Permissible: Slight specks in shades of the main colour on the legs

Lo que el estándar penaliza

Aquello por lo que un juez resta puntos a la raza East Siberian Laika, y lo que la deja fuera del ring, en las palabras del propio registro. Esto describe el estándar de la raza — no es una lista de comprobación para el animal que tienes delante, y un animal de compañía con un defecto descalificante es un perro que no puede ir a exposición, no un perro enfermo.

Health guide

What to ask for in a East Siberian Laika

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the East Siberian Laika on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No East Siberian Laika breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
