The Sibernet-L mailing list is devoted to the Siberian Husky and is open to all Siberian Husky owners, breeders, exhibitors or anyone with an interest in the Siberian Husky breed.

Taken from the Sibernet-L Welcome Message: "Sibernet-L was created to provide a forum for the discussion of all topics related to Siberian Huskies. The issues that can be discussed through Sibernet-L are as varied as our breed's talents and abilities. We also hope to meet public education needs, foster ethical breeding practices, and promote responsible dog ownership. Owning a Siberian Husky requires commitment. Too many people acquire this unique and increasingly popular breed without researching the general nature of the breed. This is not a breed that "everyone" will be comfortable with. We hope to help people decide whether this IS the breed they want to share their life with. We have many people on this list with years of experience in living with Siberian Huskies. Responses to a Siberian Husky behavior which are "instinctive" for an experienced owner are often novel to the first time Siberian Husky owner. We are here to help and to share information. For those of us who are already owned by Siberian Huskies, this list provides a forum for the discussion of the trials and tribulations our dogs surprise us with on a daily basis."

The address of the list owners is sibernet-l-request@apple.ease.lsoft.com.
