Kodah's Mom

What'd I win?

Also, when it comes the socks, he's so strange! At first I would try to wrestle the sock from him, but that always ended in my fingers being nipped, or the sock (or dish cloth) being swallowed - whole. So now I've learned to just let him run with it. I know that's probably HORRIBLE, but it's better than him swallowing it and it getting wrapped up in his intestines. I've noticed that when I let him run with it, he just finds a hiding place, be it under the couch, behind the TV, or under one of the trees in the back yard. Then when he's not watching, I'll go rescue said garment lol. Lately his "drop it/leave it" commands have been getting stronger. We just brought home a tiny Yorkie/Toy Pom cross (what on earth was I thinking?!), and her toys are tiny compared to his. Whenever he grabs one, I say "Drop it!" - and he does! He's getting so good and I'm so proud. Yay!

Hey, thanks for all the replies! A pleasant surprise! We hear how Kodah looks like a white Shep allllll the time. His mother was an Alaskan Husky (Siberian mixed with Greyhound, mixed with who knows, so it's very possible that he has GSD in him), and his father was a pure northern wolf - HUGE. Being that he's a northern husky, it's impossible to know what he's mixed with. I had never heard of this type of Husky before, but I'm learning more and more every day. I have a million questions - should I direct them at the appropriate thread, or should I mention them here? I don't want to be one of those newbs who post the same question as everyone else a million times rather than searching for a current thread - but I also don't want to be a thread jacker lol In regards to him being off lead - it's only ever when we're at a fenced dog park, or out in the woods by a lake or somewhere where he can't bother people, or be in the danger of meeting traffic. His recall at the dog park and in the yard is where we need to work on it the most. When he does sneak out and get loose (it happens), he'll run a few houses away then let my boyfriend pick him up like a baby (otherwise he'll fuss and fight if we try to grab him by the collar), and carries him home. He never goes to far, and he always comes home. So he's not too too bad, but still, I'd like to know that should he get out one day and I'm unable to chase after him, that he'll come back to me when I call him - without shaking the treat box lol.

Hey all - found this site while looking up information on a furbaby that's facing the death penalty for being - wait for it - a DOG. Saw a thread on here where people were talking about him, his case, how ridiculous it is, etc - then saw that this site was about Huskies. I decided I should sign up. I have a 16 month old Alaskan Husky x Wolf (will I be accepted here? He's not one of those big beautiful fluffy Siberians, well, not purebred at least). He's still a Husky though, just with a few more breeds thrown in. We live in Vancouver, BC, and we could both use some friendly tips and advice. Kodah needs to learn his manners and better recall, and Mom needs to work on her patience, understanding, and willingness to start walking more and hiding the boyfriends socks and tissues. Wonder if there are any other Vancouverites on here? I hope I can learn a few things from you guys - chat soon!
