Found. Not alive unfortunately 😔

It’s a long shot, but worth a shot

This sounds an awful situation The behaviourist is certainly going to be the best course of action you could have done. Really not sure what to suggest in the meantime though. Do you have problems when walking them together etc? Just trying to think of ways you might be able to get them together for a time without the aggression

Aw what a cool pic

So sorry to hear that m8. Was saying to Sarah, its really shit at the moment knowing that because of when we started the site, and inevitably a lot having pups at the time, we are watching them all go at once.  

Not sure I trust that. No husky is 100% good dog LOL

Can you try bathing them daily? I have a rescue that really smelled funny at the beginning 

Actually bathing daily can make dogs smell worse, rather than better. It also removes oils from their skin and can make them prone to sores

We had a cat with our huskies. The huskies died of old age unfortunately. The cat however, died of huskies

Cant believe Im writing another one of these. Will just copy what I wrote on FB.

---------------------

15 years ago, I caved in to my wife and let her have a dog. I said I would never have a dog in the house, but I loved my parents dogs to bits, and since they were having pups, if we were going to have one, it was going to be a husky. We called him Kimba, and he changed the way we lived our lives.

A year later we got Kaiser. Another husky (his brother). Kimba needed a companion so he wasnt so needy, so that was ok. Sarah had got him before I even knew about it.

With this, we started a community of husky owners. Throughout the years we have run husky holidays where we have had from 3 to 130 huskies together at a time. We've run walks around the UK with them, got the attention of local press in various areas and more. It really did become our whole life, to the degree I now work with communities for a living. Most of the people I know, have been involved in the our community in one way or another. Whether people who like us, or people who hate us.

A year after getting kaiser, another husky, Koda, was dumped at my parents house. Having had 5 homes previously, being quite disruptive, and quite loud, we kinda got why. (He was ripping doorframes off). But he was a loving dog. After coming to our house where he was "100% not staying", I wouldn't let him leave. (As Sarah said in the first place, of course)

Getting all 3 at very similar ages was always going to come with the inevitable downside. They were all likely to go around the same time too. It was going to happen, and I knew that.

In the last 7.5 weeks, we have had to come to the terms with losing all 3 of our huskies in a very short space of time. To say it's got to us is an understatement. Broken is the only word I can find that has come close, and somehow it doesn't quite cut it.

You were my friends, and my family. Goodbye Kimba, Kaiser, and Koda.

So sorry to hear that m8. Bad day for huskies that day 🙁

A little over 5 weeks after losing Kimba over the rainbow bridge, we have also unfortunately lost kaiser. To say we are gutted is quite an understatement. Really nothing more I can say. Just gutted. Taken me 4 days just to put this on here

last mixer pic of him I got

And we're back. Got some updates to do, and a few things may be a little out of place, but for the most part its back and ready for me to be getting some long overdue updates through on this place

Just a quick heads up to let everyone know that husky owners will be moving to a new server at some point soon. So you may see the site go down for some time

All done  

I wouldn't have this place to post on.

We wouldn't have met many of the friends we have

We wouldn't have been on many of the holidays we have had

We wouldn't have been on many of the day trips we have had

A lot of our friends, would not know a lot of their friends, if it wasn't for him

There are rescues that exist now, only because he existed

Hell, even a lot of people I no longer speak to. Some I wish we'd never fell out with, and others I hate, would not even know each other without his existence

All this because without him, husky owners would have never even been conceived as an idea. That husky owners forum, for people who have huskies as pets. Not necessarily people who run (although many do) or showing (although many do), but just for the love of the breed, and the love of our pets. 

RIP Kimba - You gave us so much 

So sorry, both

You should start off-leash training before going camping, in my opinion.

Other than this being a topic from 11 month ago, advertising a camp that took place 5 months ago, and was discontinued on a permenant basis 3 months ago, you're perfectly right LOL 

Wow, long time no see Jos. Hope you're keeping well 

As regulars will already know by now, it has come to the point where husky camp is no longer something that we are going to be doing as an official forum thing.

This is something we have thought about, and has honestly been coming for a while. The 2 missed camps through covid, and the removal of main camp by the site we were using, has simply emphasised that fact. This and the fact we are getting to the point numbers are dwindling year on year, we have people who struggle to get about more, dogs who are getting a lot older in some cases, so even the walks at times are becoming more and more an issue. People now have children.

As a history, camp started officially back in 2009 as "Husky holiday". There were only 8 of us at the time, and all in tents in the middle of a field. I will never forget Sarah shouting that day "I am never staying in a f**** tent again" not realising, she was in a tent and everyone laughed as they could hear LOL. It was good fun and escalated from there. We couldn't take Kaiser on much of a walk as he was only little at the time. Now he is an old man LOL

By 2012, we were fund raising and running a competition to bring someone over from overseas to camp. We have brought over someone from the Netherlands, and 2 people from the USA, all through fund raising. At the 2012 camp there were over 100 people. It's the largest we had, and it was great fun. For all who were there, its likely not something they will ever forget. (I certainly won't). Most people were staying in caravans. We had all our own kit on the go, a central location for husky camp, organised walks, competitions, fun awards for camp things, silly games and more. 

So, now we are in 2022. This weekend consisted of 17 people, 15 of which have been for many years. 4 of these are the people who organise camp. It was always going to end at some point, and we feel now is that time.

To me and Sarah personally, this community has been a great part of our lives for a long time. We started this forum because Sarah wanted to meet a couple of people with Huskies. Needless to say, it escalated. Our puppies who we wanted to be able to go on holiday with, are now old. Our family is now bigger. Our own circumstances have changed. We will see people again, no doubt. There are certainly some of you who I know will likely be back up here camping, getting caravans etc, and we will certainly come see people who do. But for us, the time has come to end camp where it began. With a few great friends, who are now lifelong friends.

Thank you to every person who has ever attended a camp.

You got it back quicker than I saw the message LOL. Should have just grabbed me on FB

Very much so. We've seen people who have paid for multiple holidays for the year, who havent even been told
