Our husky is almost 13 years old. She's in amazing physical health and still acts like a puppy on the regular - loves long walks, does the playing with us thing (bowing, etc) and loves to talk to us. Lately she has been acting very strange. She sits right outside the sliding glass door staring in but won't come in when we open the door. Instead she cries and backs away. She has never sat outside the door before. She usually sleeps under our deck and comes knocking when she wants to come in. But never just sat there and certainly not refusing to come in. We have also heard her under the deck crying. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and is very energetic on walks. Co…

There’s this hair follicle that has about a dozen hairs coming out of it, it would get scabby and we would have to pull it out. We have also noticed that leading up to the follicle areas she has what feels like a long vein ( about and inch and a half) that wiggles side to side. I’m trying to google what the top of my dogs head should feel like, not in regards to her saggital crest. It doesn’t cause her any discomfort. https://docs.google.com/document/d/15oe1v8Fsd8HUxRonFOaIrsJnBw2oQP7pEtzaRVKxCGA/edit

Hi, I have a Alaskan husky she’s 1 year old and is the sweetest thing I’ve always wondered if she’s considered a dirty faced I don’t think she’s agouti I’m pretty sure she’s a jet black husky her under coat is black and her outer coat/guard hairs are black with some occasional brown and tan guard hairs. She’s has a grayish muzzle with a very dark mask, I honestly could care less about her color but I would be nice to know

Hi, i have a 3 year old malamute husky, i thought he just had black and white fur till i was grooming him and i looked more at his outercoat and his fur is goes from white darkish brown and then black, and from what I've heard when a agoutis huskies hair strands are 3 different colors, which is what he has but he doesn't have the dirty face or cream colored undercoats like most agoutis, his undercoat is kind of whiteish grey. or is he a wolf grey colored husky or is he just plain black and white

Do you think she’s wooly husky at all, or long haired malamute, she’s a malamute husky mix. Also do you think she’s dirty faced/agouti or just dark colored, also does the agouti coloring show up as a puppy or does the coloring come in when they get there adult coat, I have agouti husky with normal colors except when you look closer at his fur and it’s 3 different colors per hair, and his agouti coloring didn’t come in till he got his adult coat she’s has the same length of fur that my other husky has when she was 11 weeks old this is my other husky puppy, she’s 5 months old and is a possible wooly

Our 9 year old Pure White Husky, had an unusual shedding season. He did not shed at all over the very hot summer, we consulted our Vet and many other owners. The overwhelming opinion was that they can fluctuate and not to worry. We thought maybe he would just skip it altogether, we tried to keep him cool all summer ! Finally in November he started and now he is really blowing it out. The problem now of course is that it is getting really cold, normally not a problem for him. Primarily he stays outside, he has a warm house and additional shelter. We noticed he was actually shivering! We had to take action, bought a thick pad to sleep on and a jacket , yes a JACKET for a Hu…

I just got this husky malamute puppy a little bit ago, she’s around 25% malamute and 75% husky, her under belly is completely black. neither of her parents were agouti or dirty faced they both had normal husky markings and fur, the dad was black and more of an off white kinda like a cream color and the mom was just normal black and white.

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?
