Why do Siberian Huskies have a low propensity for conventional barking?

Answer

They were bred to communicate silently over vast distances, with howling acting as a long-range pack call.

The Husky's history involved breeding them for silent sled work communication, making howling a preferred long-range call instead of a territorial bark.
