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…

ozzy loves milk but i'm not sure if it was that that gave him the runs last time (as it was at the same time that he first came to us and we weren't feeding him the right things) what do you guys think? good or bad?

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…

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…

Hi so I currently own a 5-year old male husky. Another 4-year old husky has come up for adoption-his family doesn't want him anymore and they're going to leave him at a shelter. My husky is pretty well behaved. Do you think it's a good idea to adopt it? I really want to give it it's forever home.

Hi, I think i'm going crazy over my husky fur. I'll give a lil history. she's 1yo and 6months, she did her first coat blow last autumn. i brushed her with a wrong brush(but not furminator) and too much before getting a undercoat rake...and i think I removed too much fur on her sides. it seems the guard hair are pretty thin and short. her fur seemed longer with her baby coat, so it's why i think i removed some guard hair and it's taking a very long time to grow back, or maybe there something wrong with her guard hair. on her back, on the spine line, and near front leg and back leg, the fur is longer and texture is different(less soft/wooly)and belly fur is longer…

I the other night, Tasha was talking to the cat. My husband and I started talking as well. She ran over to us and looked at us and started talking to us. It was as if we cracked her secret code and she now thinks we can talk husky! It is also pretty funny that I can be anywhere in the house, or if she is outside, if I howl, she comes running to me, every time. Now Mugs is even talking to her. Does anyone else have this happen?

Hello, Our one year old Siberian Husky has been losing tail over of the last 3 months. One morning we noticed chunks of hair gone so we figured he bit it out. He had a beautiful fluffy tail and it hasn't grown back. We went to a dermatologist and she believes its Alopecia X (also known as Coat Funk and Black Skin Disease) because there are no signs of guard hairs growing back. Wer'e also noticing some chunks on the back right leg now. Quick notes and facts Flea and ringworm test negative Food allergy test negative (although I hear rumor tests are not effective before first year of life) Thyroid tests normal, haven't checked for Cushing sinc…

i moved into a new house about a month and a half ago, it had a flea problem. i took up the carpets, put in wood floor and had pest come out and treat the house and lawn. I havent seen any fleas around the house thank goodness but my husky has some fleas on her tummy. before i took her in my new house i had her bathed at a local groomer but i still noticed fleas on her. Not terrible though... I gave her a bath about a week ago with flea shampoo from petsmart and today i gave her one pill of the capstar, which seemed to work very well. iv collected lots of fleas off her body that came to the surface and flushed them after i killed them... Now my question is... should …
