THE SIBERIAN HUSKY CLUB OF THE TWIN CITIES, INC. 

The club was founded in 1972 and is a diverse group of Siberian fanciers with a variety of interests in the breed including but not limited to: showing, sledding, racing, obedience, rescue, barn hunt, scent work, therapy dog work, and just plain loving our beautiful breed. There is not a regularly set time and place for meetings, but rather, each meeting date is chosen the month or two before, so that as many members as possible are able to attend. Dates of local events are taken into consideration. Meetings are usually held in and around the Twin Cities Metropolitan area.

Programs or demonstrations of educational value are part of the meeting whenever possible. The Club puts on an annual Specialty Show in the spring, which is open to the public. An Eye Clinic is held annually to make it convenient and economical for members and non-members alike to have their dog's eyes examined for hereditary eye disease.
​
Membership is open to owners and prospective owners of Siberian Huskies who agree to abide by the Club's Constitution, By-Laws, and Code of Ethics, and the rules of the American Kennel Club. The Club follows the Code of Ethics of the Siberian Husky Club of America; the National breed club. The Club is a member of theMinnesota Purebred Dog Breeders Association.
