Hey, guys what's up! My guy just turned 1 year a couple months ago and since he was a puppy he had lunging issues and going crazy when meeting people. I tried every positive method using treats, toys and using distance,but none of these methods worked, until i started using corrections. I first started using a choke chain and it worked wonders, he now does not pull or lunge at other dogs, only when wearing it. He still goes crazy around strangers so i started using a prong collar to train him. I got both the choke chain and prong collar with the intention of using them for a short period until I train these bad behaviors away. But my husky has learned that …

Anyone have a sled dog with a brown nose that's changing/changed to pink? We have the usual black to pink snow noses here but our only pink nose stays pink. Not aware of brown noses, changing or unchanging! Asking for someone who's dog is doing just that - seems like "snow nose" but never come across brown before

Hello everyone. I need some advice, some opinions. I am a mother to beautiful huskies. One ran away she was gone for about 8 hours. She is one year old and 6 months with blue eyes. She ran away at night came back early morning. When she got back her eyes were full of sticky green and black fluid she could hardly keep them open. I rinsed her eyes with water for a few days. Each day seemed better. The 2nd day she showed improvedment no more sticky stuff able to open her eyes more yet still trouble keeping them open. The 3rd day finally I was able see both eyes properly but one was cloudy foggy and changed into brown. One vet said its a fox tail. Another vet told me its sun …

Hi all, I'm new to the site but looking for some advice. We had spent a number of months looking for our next Husky as sadly ours passed away at nearly 14 years last October. We finally found one, paid the deposit however she has now decided to keep him as she wants to race him. Obviously we're absolutely gutted but now back to the drawing board and really struggling to know where to start looking. It's been over 13 years since we bought our first and that was through word of mouth. If possible, we'd love to have one from his bloodline but again not quite sure how we would do this. We have his pedigree name and family tree so can trace back several ge…

Hello everyone, Here is the situation. We recently adopted from a shelter our 2nd husky Raven, our first, Rex, is 4 years old. She is a sweet pup that gets along great with her big brother. Her first week or so home she had pretty bad diarrhea (probably stress-all test were neg.) and had some accidents in her crate at night, but she is now having mostly normal poops. Raven is currently 16 weeks old. When we are home she is doing pretty good with the potty training, still accidents here and there but to be expected. The problem we are experiencing is 9/10 times we leave her home alone she poops, and steps in it and gets it EVERYWHERE. We were putting her in her…

Hey guys! My boy has been scratching himself crazy for weeks so i finally decided to go to the vet and get him a chewable nexguard flea med. I gave it to him a couple hours ago and decided to comb him to see how much fleas he has...... and i found he was COVERED in fleas everywhere. I'm talking loads and loads of fleas coming off with the fur when combing. Is there anything else I can do to remove all of the fleas, I was thinking of giving him a bathe with dawn soap., or getting a flea comb I wanted to know if there is anything, anything i can do on top of giving him nexguard to remove his ticks.

Hey guys , I recently purchased a puppy husky , I have had him for about a week now . He’s only 10 weeks old & he does not like going on walks . I have done a lot of research on huskys and to my understanding they are energetic dogs and need a lot of exercise. The first few days Whenever I try to put his collar and leash he would just lay down instantly and would not want to go outside . I would carry him the first few days because I thought he just was not comfortable with me since he was shy at home as well. But now he always plays in doors only . I bought him a different collar and leash in case it was because of that. & he still refuses to go outside . I carry…

Hi there, I have a 4 month old or so husky puppy. The day I picked her up she was brown in color. I thought she might actually be a brown husky in the future. She has changed color a ton and I’m curious, what color even is she? I love her regardless of her color, but I am definitely wondering if she’s going to keep her facial markings? Has anyone else had any drastic changes in their huskies fur? What color would she be considered now? I provided a ton of pictures of her with her coloring from about a month ago and the darker images are of her coloring now.

Would like to introduce you all to Mikey (was Micco - but Mikey suits him better) who we adopted yesterday as a buddy for Marley. He is 3 years old and we adopted him from SHWA. Bearing in mind he has only been here 24 hours he is doing remarkably well, walks nicely on lead (unlike Marley), is interested but not reactive to dogs in the street, whined for about half an hour when I went to bed but then settled down for the rest of the night. He is pure white with a light sandy/cream back - and blue eyes. He is also moulting like crazy! We did a meet and greet at his foster's house - about 25 miles away on Monday - they have …

Hello All! Let me start off by saying, I have never owned a Siberian Husky before. I've owned dogs all my life but only labs, spaniels, mixes, and my current dog who is a hound mix (we think maybe Plott hound mixed with grey hound or Great Dane). Recently, a friend of a friend who owned 3 Huskies had to transfer to another state for their job. For whatever reason, they can only bring 2 of the 3 dogs (seemed unusual to me). Some background on the Husky: he is about 15 months old, hasn't been neutered, was purchased from a breeder in Florida when he was a puppy, and his name is Axel. He is a beautiful dog and is very friendly. My girlfriend and I were asked i…

My 18 year old son and I took Cai, Luka blue and Toby for a walk yesterday afternoon and we were walking home when a man and his staffy cross came up behind us. He was telling his dog to ‘watch em watch em’ so i told my son to walk faster and I was steering Cai and Luka blue towards the wall away from the man, he overtook us and his dog lunged for Luka, the man made no attempt to pull his dog back, Luka and Cai lunged for the dog and a fight began, the man let go of his dogs lead and my son and I were trying to pull ours away and a woman was stood in a doorway opposite and told us to come in, she said ‘he wants a dog fight’.

Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong spot or has been posted many times before. I’m having a hard time trying to pick out a crate which will be good for use in home. I’m wanting to crate train my pup when I get her and use a divider to make it smaller so that as she grows the crate will be great for her as an adult. The problem is that I’m reading that some use 36in, 42in or 48in.... which is the ideal size that she will be comfortable in? [emoji848] Plastic or steel? Should I buy a crate cover or would a big blanket be ok to use? Does anyone use vetbeds and are they good to be washed quite a lot if my pup messes? Thanks in advance and sorry again i…

It's been a whirlwind of a year. Sorry I do not post much anymore but there has been an awful lot going on. My father succumbed to Stage 4 colon cancer on March 24, 2019 at age 69... 4.5 years after he was diagnosed (although it was not stage 4 at first). The final months of his life were awful. Truly broke my heart. I'm still not completely over the loss... some days I want to call him up and talk horse racing. :-( Then on March 30, 2019, Mr. Bear (my non-Husky) stopped eating. He also threw up any water he consumed. My partner Skip took him to the emergency vet that night. They ran a bunch of tests and found his body was full of tumors... including one in his intes…

Hello everyone. This is Steele. He is 21 weeks today. I got him when he turned 8 weeks. The lady I got him from said he was full breed but no papers as he was a surprise litter so did not register them. He is a cutie so I took him anyway regardless of his lineage but I'm just curious as to y'alls thoughts. She finally sent me pics of mom and dad and I'm new to Huskies so just asking you all that might be more knowledgeable in husky types, hair length types etc etc. To me, mom looks like a possible mix. What do you think? Also, is short hair like Steele's one of the coat styles they have? Just curious if my boy is mixed. His tail JUST started fluffing out an…
