imstarvin Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi new to the site still trying to find my way around. Managed to persuade hubby to get me a puppy for christmas, he said it would have to be a siberian or nothing. So we came home with Mishka the runt of the litter with a wee bend in her tail. An needless to say we are both well and truly smitten. So much so that we want another one. Now we need some advice on whether to get another bitch or a male. We have been told to get a male as two bitches will fight and also to wait another two months until Mishka is 6 months. How do I attach pictures of Mishka with the information bar attached, in the about me section. I have lots of questions but will ask later.

Lyn Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi and welcome I would say as this is your first. i would hang fire and wait till shes a little older before adding a second. You still have the toughest stage of development to go through yet and better to wait and see what her character is like and ironing out the problems that may occur before deciding what to add. Not sure where the tale of two of the same sex not getting along comes from? It's not true! Unless you plan to have your girl neutered (which shouldn't be done till shes fully grown and definately not before she's at least a year old, despite what your vet may try to tell you) you are better advised to get another of the same sex, or your future life will be hell each time your girls in season. Two girls will get along, two boys will get along. It only gets more complicated when you have more than that with mixed genders and unneutered dogs.

davidjk Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 i would stick to one at the moment, make sure you train your husky, because there will most likely come a point when you think why the hell did i get a husky. it seems to happen around 5 months to a year, when they want to see how far they can push the rules, and then some owners decide its to much hard work and give the dog up for adoption. we know this, micha at 5 months was a right royal pain in the arse, it lasted for 3 weeks, we refused to give in to her, and she settled. most important thing i would say is not to let you little girl get bored or she will start remodeling the house. we where late taking micha out one day and she started eating the banister rail. she has probably destroyed about £500 of stuff including quits shoes and clothes. dont let your little princess get away with bad behaviour, or it will take a longer to train her out of it lateron. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I know you have the husky bug, everyone here knows that feeling! and the advice given may not what you want to hear as you want to get a second one, but it is excellent advice! Huskies are not your typical dog, they think for themselves whether something is in their interests to do & can be quite stubborn ... my Myshka was about 2 1/2 before she really calmed down, but even now at 4yrs, she can still have her moments! I would definitely get used to having one furball around & train her, etc before getting a second ... but it is only advice, of course, others have had 2 pups & lived to tell the tale (just!) :lol: As for whether to get another female (now or in the future), that is entirely up to you, if they are 'fixed', then same sex / opposite sex .... double the fun & love, no matter what the mix!
