Thanks guys! Noted. I will see who I can find on here.

Hey, just to see if anyone is nearer, better etc. I'm just looking around. Hey, I mean the breeder is registered as a breeder form the KC.

Hey, Sorry for the late reply. I though I would get notifications or something. Here is my intro thread FYI - http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/showthread.php/48733-My-Lifestyle-suitable-for-a-husky I have a breeder i've been speaking to since December and they are kennel club reg.

I have booked off March the 7th to the 30th march form work. I want to be able to buy the puppy on the 7th. I then have a month to train him. If there are any breeders near the UB10 area and have puppy's ready for the 7th march let me know.

Hey Guys, Update - I have booked march off work 7th March to the 30th. This will be puppy time . I plan to get the puppy on the 7th and spend a month training him. (Used 7 days holiday not too bad hey). So if anyone has some pups ready for March let me know. Also when are people out and about. I will see if I can meet you one weekend.

Thanks. I would still rather be the person to train the dog I'm going to spend my life with .

I visited the Dogs Trust the other day. There were two Malamute Husky's there but no Siberian Husky's. I love the idea of re-homing dogs, However I wouldn't want to do it myself yet as I don't have much experience in training dogs. I believe Re-homing dogs is a great idea for expert dog trainers as they know how to deal with the problems they may have. That's my reason for not wanting to re-home a dog at this stage anyway. However I will be considering the battle of training a puppy. I have a PM already from someone on here. I will let you guys know how it goes. I will probably make the decision end of January. Thanks guys.

Hey, What would you guys say about getting a 6 month old pup ?

Thanks for the in depth reply 1 more question. I'm browsing through ads for a Pup. Why is there such a difference in prices. I mean there are some for £150 - KC reg etc. Then there are some for £600. Does price reflect the pup or I guess some breeders just don't need the profit as much as others ?

Sounds like a good idea. I'm in Ickenham. I will keep my eyes on the forum after the Christmas hols and see when you guys are about. I bet they cant wait for it to snow How are Huskys at night ? e.g When I'm at work (family is asleep?). Is it recommended for them to sleep outside / indoors? Do they bother you much at night? Don't want to bother my family too much lol. Also, if my mum goes out shopping or something, whats the best way to keep the husky entertained for a couple of hours on his own ? I'm pretty sure it wont be often but there are obviously times where everyone will either be out / asleep for a little while? I'm a hands on person and could easily build a kennel / Husky proof the garden. I've read about a sort of elastic lead you can attach to them so they can roam around the garden but not run away. What about holidays abroad ? Do you guys take the dogs with you or leave them with family or something ? I've been watching loads of videos about them. I love their stubborn personality. That's one of the things that draws me to them. Ha-ha I know things are different between a Puppy and an older dog.

Thanks for the info guys. I have a dogs trust near me. I will see if they have any for foster / puppy's to re-home. It may prove difficult convincing my mum ha-ha.

Wow thanks for all the replies ! From all over the world. (SolitaryHowl I envy you. It's my dream to live in Canada!) Whats the difference between Pedigree and KC Registered ? I keep seeing one or the other on peoples posts for selling Huskys. I have a dogs trust near me. I will pop in and have a word with them.

Hey, Could you explain how your day goes with the dogs? What steps do you have to do each day to keep them (and yourself) happy ? Where do you walk them ? How far ? Do you walk them at all when they are a puppy ?

Thanks for the info. I would would want a Puppy. I want to be there from start to finish if you know what I mean. Thanks for the heads up on the running thing. I read that they can have hip problems later in life but didn't know running with him could induce it. I have also read they need their claws clipping quite often. I believe I have the time in an ideal part of the day for training him. I have a stable life and not many commitments at the moment so he will have a lot of attention. I work with computers so yeah I have a lot of patience ha-ha. I would also want to find a good place to get the dog and what to look out for (I will have a browse through the forum). Do a lot of people build kennels for their dogs ? Or are they fine to stay indoors? How would he be with cats ?

Hey, I'm thinking of getting a Husky sometime in the new year. I want to ask you experienced owners whether my lifestyle would suit having one. So I have never had a dog before but my step dad has. The reason I don't want another breed is because I'm not really interested in them . Husky's just hit the spot and well I don't think I can wait 15 years to gain experience with another dog lol. I have read up on them and know I need to prepare for the mass amounts of fur, at times. I have prepared for "the great escape" by splitting my garden into sections. The first section has a nice tall fence 8ft all they way round. Then a gated entrance to the rest of the garden. Its very long. Fortunately, I'm doing well in my job and can definitely afford to feed maintain a dog. My mum has two cats at the moment and rabbits < Can they be trained not to eat each other My biggest question. Does my work routine suite a husky ? So .. My routine is 4 days on 3 days off 9pm to 7am (nightshift). So I'm out during the night (my parents / brother are in). My plan is to get back from work and take the dog out in a Walk / Run for a few hours. I would sleep for about 6 hours around 3PM and be ready for another Walking session / time with the dog until around 8pm when i have to leave for work. My mum works form home so can deal with the dog between 9 and 3 when I'm sleeping. Because of my work hours I don't see much of my friends during the week. I need a companion like a Husky Before I decide I want to make sure it will be right for the Dog. Thanks Guys.
