huskies

Melanie brings up a good point... my dog isn't quite so eager to obey commands from others.

One more thing I forgot to bring up... Huskies can be unpredictable around other smaller animals. I know there are a lot that are not safe around cats and other pets. Mine is fine around the cats, but he has stolen rats right out of my hands before...

Well, every dog has it's own personality and that will never change- but it can be controled and shaped. I found my Pit-mix in a mall parking lot when she was three months old and the first thing she did when I got near her? Lunge and try to take my face off. lol, for most that might be a sign NOT to keep the dog, but not for me.. I was lonely :) lol.
Anyway almost three years later, I have a dominate dog that hates man and other animals. BUT- though she's 'dominant', I am still the 'alpha' and she knows it. It took lots of hard and on-going training and challenges (and also know that I have never hit her), but she will never disobey me- as long as I get into her heard before the "SQUIRELSQUIRELSQUIRELSQUIREL" does lol. Also she loves kids, and I am able to control her around other animals and men.

The point that I'm getting to is that you can get any dog with any type of personality, you just have to know the correct way to handle the dog. If it's a dominant dog and your not that type of person and you dont think you can do it- get a differnt kind of dog or none at all. But really it's not hard, everyone can do it. I've trained many dogs that were 'hopeless' or 'unmanagable' that are now great dogs. I'm no Ceasar, but hopefully one day! lol.
So I say go for it, if you and your mom are both willing to act as the alpha from day one, or else you might get some behaviorial issues... But in my opinion Huskies are great dogs, so I would say go for it!!
Any questions, feel free to message me :D

P.S.
lol sorry- I didnt mean to make that so long.

I sell furminator's at my work too and I have one for my dog. I love it, it works incredible. I love huskies however you probably should always keep it tied down if in the back yard or something. Also, you should never let your husky off leash as said several times here. They have a tendency to 'run free'. Another thing, high energy dog = needs A LOT of exercise, like atleast an hour and a half of walking a day, you would also want to feed a high quality food (not science diet or iams or eukanooba or anything). If you can get it around your location then Innova is probably your best bet. I know a fair bit about dog nutrition so if you have any questions pm me, other then that huskies are beautiful dogs and good luck. :)

I'd also check breed specific rescues. There is a huskie rescue shelter not to far away from me.

I've never had huskies, but the research I've done that on them says that they need a designated digging spot. It's sort of built into the breed, and the book suggested either giving them a space that they could dig in, or taking them to the beach or something so they can dig all they want there.
