Im gonna get that the majority of you decided that you wanted a dog but didnt originally decide you wanted a husky? Of corse I could be completely wrong lol. So what made you decide you defiantly wanted a Husky?

Jamie's sister (Sherie) and her partner (Lee) have a rescue English Bull Terrier (Rudy) which they picked up just before Christmas. He was rescued from the streets and used to be beaten around. Rudy is fine with people (Apart from police!) whch isn't a problem, his problem is with dogs. He is also neutured. Sherie and Lee let Rudy settle in for about a week at home first before we introduced him to Gizmo, Marley and Bandit. I will let youknow how we introduced them first. We got Rudy into the dining room (where my 3 don't have access too) and they kept Rudy on his lead and then I went and got Gizmo on a lead first and took him into see Rudy firs…

Does anyone know if there is anywhere where you can experience sledding with huskies? Ive always been curious as to what it is like to ride on the sled (or to be in control of the sled) with a group of (or just one) huskies pulling away at work and doing what they are origianally used for nowadays.

I have just been reading this http://www.huskycolors.com/wooly.html and it says that Long hair is not only a fault in a show dog Siberian, it can be dangerous in a working Siberian. It also says "Wooly" Siberians may look interesting, but they should not be bred as they do not perpetuate the desired Siberian look" Is this right?? Lex is long haired have we bought a duff breed? Or is that site just wrong?

Just been reading Marcs post about how far you walk your sibes, and was considering where I could take Isis when she gets older to burn off that energy, and then i had this thought: How did you guys train your sibes to walk on the lead? I know its a basic question, but our GSD took to it straight away, so I didnt really train her!

......shite n stuff lol .... I wanna know what you guys use to get rid of it with a puppy and Im sure there are a few others that would be interesting. Now bare in mind I didnt want adog at all when we first got Kimba, however if I'm honest the only time I've really not liked having him around is when he was younger, in the house before his jabs, and pissin/shittin everywhere. The place stank for a while in my opinion and I hated it.. So what you use to get rid of the smell? (yeah I know cleanin it up quickly, but it stinks instantly and lingers lol ...

Does your sibe like being brushed? Lex hates being brushed everytime i get his brush out he goes ballistic barking and jumping round going for the brush and just won't stand still! Yet as soon as you start brushing his belly he is fine unless you move off his belly then it is back to square one!

A few months ago our local council decided that we were all going to start recycling (nice of them to ask) and so kindly delivered kimba a new toy. Product: Paper Recycling bag Rating: 3 Star Entertainment factor: 4 out of 10 This new age toy comes in the form of a blue plastic bag which occasionally goes from hollow to paper filled. I have given the product a 3 star rating as Kimba simply will not touch it in is original hollow state, meaning I had to do some minor improvements before he would play with it at all. Suggested Improvements: 3 x used magazines, 2 x newspaper (always prefers damp ones, 1 x cardboard box …

What would you give up for your pet? As you probably know, we're getting one of the pups mid January, due to the increast cost - feeding, insurance etc, i've said I will stop having my nails done every fortnight (costing 25 a time) This is quite a big thing for me as i've had them done for the past 6 years but i love Kimba to bits and can't wait for the new arrival so sacrifices are being made. Just wondered if anyone else has given up something for their pet ?? Edited - Have just found this web site : http://www.petproductnews.com/headlines/2008/12/08/akc-finds-dog-owners-willing-to-sacrifice-for-pets-welfare.aspx
