Looking for another husky

[Whiskey902]

As the title says I want to get another husky but the only place I can find or possibly find one where I got my first one from, I have a 15month old male,

Should I try to find one from a different breeder or would it be better to try and get one from his family, probably would get another male .. not looking to breed just want him to have a friend he's always trying to play with the cats..they are just a little to small lol

Why don't you try a rescue? Plenty of unwanted huskies looking for a new home!

We have three Huskies, one female and two males. Zoya, the female, will be nine this year. She's been in the family since a pup. Rohn will be three this year. He too, has been in the family since a pup. And then there is Luke. He will also be three this year. Luke is a rescue, who has been in the family since last June. The one thing I can say about Luke, he really appreciates us. He had a miserable existence at his first home. A great rescue took Luke in, worked with him, and after a few months he came home to us. Yes it was a challenge for awhile, with Luke. But eventually, everything smoothed out, Luke became accustomed to his new home, and now the pack is like a finely tuned team.

 

 

 

The advantage to going with a rescue, you can normally introduce your dog and the rescue at a neutral location, and see how they get along. Two or three meets beforehand is a good approach. If there is an issue, you know ahead of bringing another dog into the family, if it will or will not work. Buy a puppy, and it's yours, whether it works out or not.

 

 

 

So I would encourage you to consider a rescue.

My first dog, Nikko, I got as a 9 week old puppy.  After a few months I realized he needed a playmate, so I got my 2nd as an 8 week old pup, Yukon.  They bonded instantly!  I decided to go with a puppy because I was afraid of bringing a dog with an unknown history in.  Before deciding, I took Nikko to meet with a few other dogs and the meetings didn't go well.  After about a year I got my third husky, Kodiak, and he was a rescue.  I took Nikko to visit and they got along right off the bat, even on the 2 hour trip back home. Although they got along at first, we had several incidents over the next 6-12 months.  They would get into some fights, and a couple drew blood and made Nikko afraid to get close to him.  I was heartbroken bu the eventually came around and today they are best of friends.  So, although you may need to work on a rescue a little, I think it is very rewarding.  For me, just thinking about going through the puppy stage is exhausting!
