Luna Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi everyone I am fostering a beautiful Husky girl for a few weeks whilst it is determined whether she needs a new home due to a child's allergy... Although i've read lots about them on "google" i thought i would join here and get some advice or just read what other huskies get up to. I also have a 5 year old Dogue de Bordeaux named Leala and have recently lost my other mastiff boy Saxon This is Luna I've already learned they like to cloimb:bananen_smilies012: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidjk Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 wow what a stunning girl. i need to stop coming here, i want more huskies, more more more and more lol. i hope it all gets sorted for her. i woudl think a husky is one of the breeds that would cause less allergies as they dont loose so much hair as most dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeiperSky7 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi Luna, You are very welcome,this is a smashing site choc full of Siberian Husky enthusiasts who will help wherever humanly possible, She looks lovely from your photos,in fact an uncanny mix of my girls Peiper & Sky.... Do you know how old she is and anything of her background etc ? I'm sure there are HO people from all around the country who will assist if they can.Whereabouts are you ?

Luna Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi and thanks all. Her owners are known to us and she is a very very much loved girl with impeccable manners. Luna is an absolute sweetheart - very gentle and calm xx She is 2 years old. I'm in the Midlands...and my name is Keeley - not sure if i mentioned that, lol.

PeiperSky7 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi Keeley, We have some very active members on here from the Midlands,so you will not be short of practical help if you need it She looks well cared for from the photos,does she get on well with Leala ? I hope all works out and the allergy doesn't prevent her from going home as I'm sure she must be missed. Let me know if there is anything I can do,no questions are too daft when it comes to Sibes... Sorry to hear about the loss of Saxon. Best Always, Kevin & The Girls :bullseye: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi Keeley, welcome to the pack She is stunning!! must admit i've found huskies to be one of the best breeds to have if you have allergies so it may not be her? Sorry to hear about Saxon, that must be hard, husky hugs to you. Look forward to seeing you around, feel free to ask away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 :wave:thanks all It is hard with Saxxy but we fostered a 7wk pup last week and now we have Luna so we are keeping busy :7: If it isn't her then she can go back home but docs won't do more tests until it is ruled out... She has been very well cared for indeed - actually how often should i be brushed? I think he said he did it everyday but i haven't as yet seen evidence of her needing that much And yes Kevin she gets on with Leala...not so sure about leala getting on with her, lol. Leala is a very dominant girl who's normally not great with older girls but she is tolerating Luna very well and Luna is completely non-confrontational with her They play out on the walks but not in the house together just yet. Luna only came on Sunday so it's very early days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidjk Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 well there are different views on huskies and brushing, i brush our 2 every day, because they are white and end up looking grubby, especially micha who loves to get as dirty as possible. i found this on ehow dont know how true it is though Brush your Siberian Husky twice a week with a slicker brush, followed by combing with a coarse or medium steel comb. Huskies' coats are extremely dense, so it's important to remove any shed hair from the undercoat and topcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 thank you, so i can use my medium furminator on her for removing the undercoat and go over with the slicker? They have such different coats to ours... When i say MY medium furminator - i mean Leala's;) I would love to come to a meet but it depends if she is still here with us then. We have her until the end of August and then we just have to see what happens then:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Oh yes - the furminators are GREAT for them!! If you want to arrange a mini meet while you have her we can sort something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huskyluv Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Welcome to the forum and kudos for fostering Luna. She is such a beautiful girl I think I'm in love! As for brushing when mine is blowing coat I brush daily to every other day but when he's not blowing coat maybe once a week if that. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
