Rathian Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi everyone, We researched the Siberian Husky for ages and went to visit a very nice breeder locally who had a litter of puppies (all taken) and seven adults. We wanted to see how they actually behaved and interacted with us and each other as reading only gives you so much information. When we got there one puppy had become available and the wife could not resist! A couple of weeks later we went back to collect her. She is great, mostly white when we got her but now a mixture of black, silver, white and brown. She has been hard work, aren't all puppies? but also so much fun. She has so much character and bundles of energy. She flew through the puppy training classes, has loads of fun on Cannock Chase, mooches round the garden, meets and greets in the town centre, bounds around the beach and swims in the sea (recent trip to Bude) and has now become a Siberian Mudski (see photo). She loves sleeping on the kitchen floor, just right in the highest trafficed area! Crate training is going well, hated it to start with but in an evening will have no hesitation in going to the crate by herself. I have posted a few photo's...One from the day we had her, one from a few weeks later, one from two weeks ago and one from the weekend.

krzykal Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi rob welcome to the site, she looks lovely.. i live in west midlands too and go over cannock chase every so often.. you definatley went about getting your first husky the right way, reading up on the breed and seeing them first hand, sometimes all the reading can not prepare you for sibes it is definatley an experience lol. just beware of that husky bug, its highly contagious lol welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi, Rob, welcome to the pack I just love the pic with the muddy nose - every husky owner recognises that! what is her name? Sounds like you're doing things the right way - huskies definitely are a breed all of their own! Look forward to chatting with you around here & poss meeting one day when we have another meet Cannock Chase way Oh, & keep the pics coming!

Rathian Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Her name is Skye in honour of the fabulous breeder we got her from (SiberiaSkye). From reading, it appears to be a pretty common name for a Husky! I have 200+ photo's store in my Dropbox account. The link to the shared folder is: Skye Originals Have fun browsing, these are all my large images so they may take awhile to download.

Rathian Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Glad you like the link, I usually have more pictures added every weekend after taking her various places. Nothing like having a visual record of them growing up to see how they have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 aw, Rob - husky picture heaven! Skye is gorgeous - she certainly likes digging at the beach & I love the pics with the flower pot! It's unbelievable how much they change in the first year, so good you have these to look back on, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca_&_me Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 hehehehe, Mudsky! She is not alone in her mud-loving ways. Chewy will get a nice bath and nail trimming and then 4 hours later be dirty and muddy from head to toe again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi and welcome to the pack !! I just adore you pics!! We have a few meet ups near you every so often - you'll have to join us on them it's a great way to socialise them as well - huskies seem to act differently around their own kind - that's my experience anyway and so nice to see so may of them all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathian Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks for the comments. My favourite pictures are the Mudsky, plant pot and beach photo's. Mudsky was taken on Cannock Chase at the weekend. We were attempting to avoid all the mud, but Skye had other ideas and ran and pounced right in there then stuck her nozzy right in there just for good measure. To those who come to Cannock Chase, I look forward to meeting up sometime. Skye just loves to play with other dogs, most just don't seem to get her style of play though and there owners disappear off into the distance. We saw some signs up around Birches Valley visitors centre the other day notifying of husky training / races. I found your site while looking for more info. While we have no intention (yet?) of racing her we were still interested in meeting fellow Sibe owners. We were going to pop over there this Sunday to have a mooch.

shedalot Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Rob, welcome to the site. Skye is one absolutely beautiful pup. It's always nice, and appreciated, when newbies post pictures of their furbabies. I think you will enjoy it here, and I for one, will enjoy more of your photos.

Rathian Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 As long as its not lashing down with rain, then the camera rarely leaves my side when out and about with the kids and Skye about. The wife likes her photos and its a great diary of how people and dogs change over time. Photo's will get posted aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
