Tootz Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi all I was forwarded a link to this site by another forum member and im so glad ive been directed ot it! Im a soon-to-be husky owner and Im really excited. I was at first looking at some siberian husky cross northern inuit pups but were discouraged on another forum for a few reasons (Only mum was available for viewing, vaccines not included and breeder didnt ask me any questions so seemed she didnt care about where the pup went). But I have now found a 16 week old boy sibe who I will hopefully be picking up this friday. The idea was to get him for my mum who has wanted a husky ever since I can remember. It was going to be an early xmas present and a complete surprise, but after some thinking I did decide to tell her last night about it. She couldnt stop smiling! She doesnt know when she's getting him though, so still a bit of a surprise for her We have had other breeds of dogs, but never one as young as 4 months. Our last dog was an ex-raceing greyhound who was my dads special boy. He was a rescue greyhound and came from a very bad background, we only had him for a couple of years because he was fairly old when we got him. He was a very big dog and actually used to do hurdles aswell as racing. Now that he has passed away, we now have room for another member. Previous to him, we had a rottweiler/doberman cross, a sheltie and a labrador mix (who was as dappy as anything!) Ive already learnt alot by browsing the forums! Ive actually just brought a crate for him, it's a 42" size - would this be big enough once he's fully grown? The pup is already crate and house trained so he would only be sleeping in it at night, and a few hours when there is no one in the house during the day. We also have 3 cats who are all fairly old, 10years +. They're not bothered by dogs, just wondering whether a 4 month old sibe could still be housed with cats and learn to live with them?? Anymore advice would be greatly appreciated. And once I get him, there will be lots of pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi, Sophie, welcome to the pack Good for you doing your homework on huskies, you now know what to expect! The crate will be fine, my 4 yr old has the same, had it since a pup & she's fine in it. As for the cats, some members have huskies & cats, but I think the majority would never leave them alone "just in case" even when brought up together, but they will let you know their stories when they come on line, personally I don't have a cat, you see You will be bowled over with your new pack member, but we have strict rules on here, you MUST post some photo's of your puppy's welcome home!!!
