Hello. My name is Diego and my new red husky just arrived 5 days ago and im pretty excited. Im new to these type of dog breed and is my first large breed dog. Ive alrewdy read bunch of articles and videos about how to take proper care of it and training. However Im a little concerned about Rocky most of the day spending it under furniture (beds, tables). Is this normal behavior as he is new to my home and environment? He comes out and plays, eats, and to go pee and poop but then he goes to his favorite spot under the bed. Is this normal behavior? Thanks to everyone and im happy to be in this community!

Greeting, I have a husky who is 4 months old. It bites a lot and I can't stop it, I've watched a lot of YT videos about it and there's nothing I can do. I try to distract him with training, but it doesn't work. As I train him to sit, to wait, to turn around, to come, everything is okay. When I stop and sit next to him, he jumps on me and bites my arms, legs ... I've had to throw away three jackets by now. Do you think that after a while the biting will stop or I have to seek professional help from a trainer.

Balto, is now 9 months old and after a lot of delays of shows, we finally had our chance in the ring. He did really okay for his 1st time, minus the complaints and whine. But I am concerned for his coat/tail, or as we say, The French Maid (duster). What do you guys think? Is it a fault? Is there anything else that might hinder us? Should I consider putting the shows aside due to the faults (I love him anyway) and follow his path of obedience? Might we wait out our puppy coat shedding (he has yet to do so, just occasional fly aways)? We would just really love some constructive criticism. As he is a beautiful boy and I am so proud of him, but don't want to dish out money i…

I'm looking into getting my first husky! I've read how they get lonely and have separation anxiety, so I'd like to get two dogs at once to try and minimize that. I don't know if I can handle two huskies, so I'd like to get a different kind of dog. I'm thinking a labradoodle. I figure that they'll be ok with each other, especially since I want to get them as puppies and raise them together. I know every dog is different, but does anyone have experience raising two dogs of very different breeds together? Is it likely they'll be friends, or will they fight? Also, if it turns out I'll be working more hours than I anticipate, and won't have a whole lot of time for two pup…

Hi All, I am going on Saturday to potentially adopt a 7 month old male husky and need some help. The owner can not keep the dog due to working full days and her son is full time working/school. She said the husky is fully vetted with all his shots and she has all his vet vaccines paperwork, etc. and is currently not fixed because the vet recommended to wait until he is a year old in order to get him fixed. This is my first time adopting a husky as I've only had terriers but have have experience with older huskies. I would greatly appreciate any advice on what I should be looking out for when seeing the dog on Saturday, any specific or general health concerns I shou…

Zero lines

My first husky had Zero lines and I would like to find out a bit more about the Zeros. I suppose it's not the first time someone is asking about the Zeros. I know that Harris Dunlap started the Zeros and bred them between 1970 - 1990. The Zero blood line was bred and primarily based on the mating of Zero's Rena and Zero's three Spots. Zero Three spots came from a Canadian bloodlines while Zero Rena had mostly Igloo Pack and Calivali in her background. Later some Seppala came into the bloodline. Steve Randburn imported some Zeros in UK in his kennel Tupilak in Northern Scotland. There were some excellent dogs like Rookie's Woody (who was imported by Steve), Tupilak's …

Spent the largest part of the day at our nearest emergency vet - took just over an hour to get there, through the height of the Blackpool season - many hundreds of newly freed visitors wandering around the prom with not a care in the world for inconveniences like traffic, bikes, horse drawn carriages (they have right of way up here), trams (2nd right of way) etc - oblivious to the pandemonium they cause by wandering across the road and tram-tracks at will - scarsely looking to either side so intent of their drunken revelry. Meanwhile I have a dog on the back seat pumping blood, panicking, another in the back (dog section) howling because he was on his own because …

Hello! Here I am after a long period ... During this period, everything happened so I did not enter the forum ... In February we mated Lea with a male husky, I got very strange colors (they are strange for that combination), I did abnormal research, it turned out that after the ninth generation, they have a lot of agouti dogs and black dogs with full masks. Everything continued as it should, but what worried me the most was that one puppy's ears were constantly falling ... One female lifted her ears and then they fell again, is suspicious in terms of head and build (looks different from the others in the litter). Maybe it's my paranoia and negativity, lately I'm very nega…

Does anyone have any experience with registering their dog with the United Kennel Club single registration? My pup Aura is registered with the Universal Kennel Club, however I would like to try and get her registered with a more recognized kennel club group. I have been doing some research on their website and I am under the understanding that I will be able to register her with permanent registration and have full rights, but I want to verify with anyone who has done this, or maybe someone can make it clear if it would work? Also, if I can get her registered with United Kennel Club, would it be able to transfer to Canadian kennel Club? That would be what I w…

I was on the internet and i came across the following information. Complete Care Guide for Siberian Huskies » Info, Tips, & More (dog-learn.com) While you're exercising your Husky, though, some precautions should be kept in mind: first, puppies younger than nine months old shouldn't do too much jumping, running on hard surfaces, or navigating of stairs, as these can injure their still-developing joints and bones. What constitutes Stair's and the Navigation of Stair's? My Siberian Husky is 5 Months Old. I have a back yard on a river and 2 sections 1 with 4-5 steps and another with 6-7 steps that lead down into the yard ..... he can also walk down the path that doe…

I have spent hours online looking for information on why my husky (NIKO) has such an arch or hunch in his back. It's not debilitating in any way he is very very active and has had this hunch since he started growing. When i say active. If he get's out the door, might as well just wait till he comes back cause you ain't catchin him. And he can clear 10 stairs in one hop. The vet thought it was because he was skinny. We have fixed that problem by taking him off the cardboard and corn diet known as purina. He now eats Taste Of The WILD from tractor supply. He still walks around like a cat ready to pounce. Does anyone else have a husky that has this trait?

I have an 7months old husky and he has destroyed my house: ripped all the wallpaper of the walls, chewed all the carpets in every corner, scratched all the paint of my doors, chewed up 26 DVD's and much more. I am at my wits end, I have tried toys treats, different sprays to stop him doing it again. Can someone please let me know what else I can do.

Over the last several weeks Poppy had been digging and poking her nose into the ground and anywhere else and she started getting cuts all over her nose; as it was healing the skin then started peeling where her nose (which is pink) met her fur at the top. This got worse and she kept scratching her nose everyday pretty much; so it was always bleeding somewhere. So we took her to the vet; the vet said it could be nothing just a result of her having a sensitive nose or it could be an autoimmune response where her body is attacking the pigmentation (or something like that) and so they took some biopsies. Poor Poppy has three separate stitches (one on each side …

Hopefully this is the correct area to pose such questions. I've recently gotten a husky puppy and I've waited a few months register him so he could lose his puppy coat and I could be sure about his coat color, but I am still unsure!! I have ran his Embark and have a little bit of information about a coloring have suspected in him and embark has indicated he is a carrier of the suspected coloring as well but, I want to pose it to a community and get input! Is this pup a gray and white, a sable, or is he Agouti which the slim chance but he is a carrier from the embark. thinking he is just a dark gray and white but would like to see what others think. Thanks

Our Luna is our first Husky. Long story, but we adopted her when she wandered into our yard a couple years ago (there's more to the story, but that's for another post at another time). Anyway, she will lay on the bed with my wife all day long. She usually lays in my spot (I usually come to bed much later than my wife). But she will absolutely not lay on the bed when I'm in bed. In fact, when I come to bed, even though we would not mind her sleeping any the foot of the bed, she will just get up and move off the bed and go lay on the floor. I don't force her off - it's like she knows that she is in my spot and just gets up and moves with no coaxing. Interes…
