The Yakutian Laika is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 18–25 kg as an adult. Developed by the Yakut people of Siberia for pulling sleds, hunting, and herding reindeer in some of the coldest inhabited regions on Earth, the Yakutian Laika combines a thick, weatherproof coat with a friendly, sociable temperament.
What this means for your Yakutian Laika
The breed is generally considered hardy with relatively few hereditary conditions, having been shaped by generations of survival in extreme working conditions. Hip dysplasia is still worth screening for as a general precaution.
The thick double coat needs regular grooming, especially during seasonal shedding, and this becomes an even more important routine to maintain as your dog ages.
When is a Yakutian Laika considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Yakutian Laika are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
