Re: Blue the Alaskan husky
OMG that is one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen! She's gorgeous! She's very wolf-like... through the muzzle and the body, especially. I love huskies!
Re: Blue the Alaskan husky
very pretty, I have a soft spot for huskies, thanks for sharing.
Re: Blue the Alaskan husky
She's gorgeous! Hope you have very good fences or a strong unchewable stake out for her. These northern sled breeds end up in a lot of rescues due to their need to run and their amazing ability to scale almost any fence built. Is she a talker?
Re: Blue the Alaskan husky
She's totally cute!
Jo, I can vouch for the northern escape artist breeds. My husky is the same way... It's frustrating sometimes and changes had to be made, but you gotta do what you gotta do if you really care about them...

Re: Blue the Alaskan husky
No one has fences where I live. :P She has a rope but she just gets put outside to go potty. When we're not out hiking she really prefers to be indoors near me. She doesn't bark or howl at all but she makes all kinds of other weird noises.
Up here unwanted huskies are even more of a huge problem due to the mushing sport. When I volunteered at the shelter, I'd hate it when they would be abandoned as soon as the snow melted. One guy put his entire team of six in the shelter when the season ended. Up until this year an average of five sled dogs would be euthanized every week during the summer--this year the rescues are taking much more dogs in so it's not that bad. After I adopted Blue I quit volunteering because it was too much and too sad for me.

Re: Blue the Alaskan husky
Ack I failed to note you live in Fairbanks! LOL Yep no fences for sure (I spent a year in Faro, Yukon). Yes it is very sad how badly some of the mushers treat their unwanted sled dogs isn't it. Some are great but others shouldn't own a flippin pet rock let alone a living creature.
Just make sure she can't chew through her stake out. Once they start running they've no clue how to stop LOL. I love the talking that northern breeds do. I saw a video once of a Malamute that you would swear was able to say "Mama" clear as a bell!
Have fun in the spring when she blows out her winter coat. We had a Lab x Husky (Shadow appeared pure Lab but wasn't) that we got up in the Yukon. She could shed enough in the spring to basically construct a spare dog out of! The birds loved the soft underfur that I left out for them for nest building each spring.

I do the same thing with my husky Roxie! I wish I could just let her run loose but she will NOT come back inside on her own without much encouragement by way of pepporoni. LOL. Mine is a real snuggle-bug as well. If you start petting her, she will not allow you to stop.
Gorgeous dog by the way! I love all the gray on her face!

Re: Blue the Alaskan husky
I think they meant "ditto".
