Staceybob Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 If he is healthy and his weight is fine, I wouldn't push for changing his build. Huskies are naturally lean. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 hes gorgeous and perfect dont worry about him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Piskorski Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I agree, he looks great to me. How old is he? They're still kind of him puppy lean-ness mode up until 2 years old I think, so this could change as he gets older. I got my boy Cesar when he was just over a year old, and he was very gangly and long until a few months ago when he finally started to fill out. He's now 2 years old and he looks like a different dog, very muscular and broader through his shoulders and chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan J P Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 why would you want to give him tablets to bulk him up? he looks gorgeous and you've already said he is healthy so i would just leave well alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya maggs Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 you could get him pulling things maybe that would give him more muscle but he looks absolutely fine to me wouldnt touch tablets like others have said huskies are lean dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I wouldn't go the route of giving him tablets for putting on weight, and putting weight on him as fat won't help in the show ring. Unfortunately, when it comes to the show ring, you usually just have to wait for them to mature for them to be ready to do anything in the ring. Depending on how old he is (over a year, for sure!), you could get him out running, which would help to build muscle, but wouldn't bulk him up. Any judge worth showing under will prefer a sound dog in good condition to one that's bulkier, and while pretty standing still, can't move worth anything! The breed is supposed to be athletic, made for running long distances, not for pulling heavy loads like a Mal - I think he's gorgeous just as he is in the pic you posted!

fazz Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 My boy is also very lean and perfectly healthy. The only thing i do (mainly because he is so energetic) is i make him carry his own water when trekking in the mounhtains on his doggy rucksack hehe. I guess over time that would increase his muscular physique carrying more weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usetheforce1991 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 My husky will not gain weight at all and I kept thinking it was his food because he would throw it up he stopped doing it as much and the vet will not tell me what’s wrong with him they just keep telling me to do test and advice will be great I’m trying everything since I can’t get a answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much food you give him? Maybe you should add some more. My husky is in raw and he has good weight and is still lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
