High prey drive refers to an animal's strong instinctual motivation to chase and capture prey. This trait is often seen in hunting breeds, where the desire to pursue small animals or moving objects is pronounced. Dogs with high prey drive may exhibit behaviors like chasing, stalking, and intense focus on potential targets. While this can be beneficial for specific tasks, it may require careful management in non-hunting contexts to prevent unwanted behaviors.

Do Siberian huskies have a high prey drive?

Yes they do. I do not believe in this though, I have seen many Siberian Huskies allow strangers in houses & my 3 Siberians never attack children or my rabbits. If they did have high prey drive, they wouldn't be such big whiners or to kind to strangers, compare a GSD to a husky, the GSD would probably have a higher prey drive. I luv the GSD & SH, both great breeds but I don't believe in the "Huskies have high prey drive bull crap."
