I thought I would start a little thread on cleaning up after inside accidents as there seems to be a few people having some issues of late I have been very lucky with Ronin and his toilet training, but my advice comes from experience with my previous dog that had daily accidents towards the end of her 14+ years. One of the big problems with inside peeing, especially on carpet is that urine contains ammonia which as we all know stinks to high heaven. Many cleaning products contain ammonia so our dogs can smell even the smallest amount and think "hey great, it must be okay to pee in an area that already smells of pee, woo-hoo!" The other problem is that if w…

Thought this would be helpful to new owners to read about other owners first experience (i.e. First night home, first walk, first vet visit, etc etc) and how they handled it and what they would recommend to a new owner. Will list here different first time experiences and you can either copy and paste all the titles and write about them all or choose to do a few. Choosing your first dog what happened what did you do what would you advise now more experienced Preparing your home what happened what did you do what would you advise now more experienced First 24 hours home what happened what di…

OK, bear with me folks. A little introduction here. I picked up my Sibes at a local shelter. Found the female, debated it for a week, pulled the trigger. The day I picked her up, ended up deciding to get the male. I did not do proper research ahead of time, and found out later that I wasn't properly prepared. In my quest for information and tips, I found this site. It has been a life saver! Now...what I'd like to do with this thread is help out all the other people that are new to Sibes, or are looking into Sibes. So please, if you have some tips, a heads up on what to expect, or something people should plan for, please post them up! I'll do …

I think there needs to be a sticky on crate training huskies. It comes up a lot and it DOES present problems to new owners unique to crating other dogs. If you've posted on the subject in the past explaining your experiences and ideas, please search it out and copy and paste it here. Or if you've never posted on the subject but have experience, please share. It won't read like normal post, but rather just a wealth of experienced husky owners tips and ideas. If enough good information on the subject gets added to this thread, perhaps it will be worth making a sticky.

Hey all, If you are reading this post, you are either intrigued or you are in the same position my partner and I, fearing our dog was pregnant and what would we do? Ok... let’s wind back to the start. Signs your dog is definitely pregnant (from approx 4 weeks before labour all will be present) Look from the top down on your dog, is she misshapen? She will look filled in her body before her back legs. A noticeable sign is her losing fur on her underside/belly and growing teats. Her attitude may change from normal. She may be either very clingy or want to be alone.[ She may start having trouble with the…

My 4 year old Husky, Saria, began acting odd a few days ago. She began by whimpering often and wanting attention more than usual. She also would hide under the bed for no apparent reason- she only goes there when she has a toy or treat that she didn't want any of our dogs to get. I thought she was behaving that way because I haven't been able to walk her lately or take her outside to play. So I bought toys, took her out for a walk to see if that would resolve it. I noticed she was more upbeat with a new toy, and I was happy to see that improvement. As of a few minutes ago, her behavior completely shifted. She began whimpering even more, and would grab a bigger squeaky toy…

I have heard that you are supposed to keep the hair on the paws trimmed back but haven't had anything to support this statement can anyone enlighten me as to what the correct procedure is. Should it be trimmed back or left? This is one of Eclipses' paws at the moment. Gary.

Hi, this is probably a silly question but I can’t really find much information on this. I have a 6 month old pup and was wondering if anyone knows if there is anything wrong with organising play dates with his parents? The breeder has both mum and dad and over lockdown we’ve spoke about it being nice if they could meet up but I just wanted to double check peoples opinion on this! Thanks

Someone please help before I lose my tiny grip on sanity, lol. I was out walking Buddy and Star this morning and bumped into a guy, bloody nice bloke, who knew his huskies. He recognised the Budster's bloodline, which I already knew as we have his KC papers, and he said that Star looked like she had some Zero in her. After many hours of searching t'internet all I have discovered is that the BSHRA don't let them race. I guess the reason being that, from what the guy told me this morning, Zero dogs are flippin' fast. Can any of you good people cast any light on this please? We don't have any of Star's papers so can't trace her tree back for clues. …

Our new husky puppy comes home in two weeks - she will be 8 weeks old. We have a vacation cabin that we visit at least once a month, and we also go RV-ing quite often. Our trips are usually anywhere from 3-6 hours, one way, with stays being 3-4 days. We plan to wait at least a few weeks, at a minimum, before taking our new baby on any long road trips, but we want her to get used to long car rides fairly early so that it's a fun and normal occurrence for her. My question is, should we wait longer, until she has acclimated to her new life with us, or should we dive right in, and introduce her to our lifestyle early? I don't want to do anything…

My girl recently had a litter of 7 puppies. She is grey and the sire is grey however she only had 2 grey puppies and the rest are shades of red! They are 2 weeks old now and one puppy has me beat on what colour she will turn out to be. Will she stay this light cream, turn grey, or get darker? So show me your lighter red/cream huskies as puppies vs adults! Or if you just have an adult with no puppy pics show me them too! Here is pup in question. Last pic is her at 1 day old.

Hey all, I couldn't find an appropriate place to post this. I went for a weeks holiday to Little Dumpledale Farm in West Wales. https://littledumpledale.co.uk/ The farm is run by a family who has a love for dogs. Each of the premises on site is dog-friendly and the main thing, husky secure. I was able to leave my three like I do at home in the garden without any fuss or issues. I am from West Wales, so to give you an idea of how great this place is, I could have stayed at my parents' house, but this suited me much better! I am sure there are other places in the UK that will accept dogs. The challenge I found was dog-friendly and husky-friendly ar…
