basketcase687 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Here is a video of 6 huskies,2 separate packs,(3 belonging to us)all off lead together.The video was filmed by my daughter with a mobile phone,so it's a bit shaky,but you get the picture!! *Warning* It is generally not advisable to let huskies off leads,and this video is not intended to encourage owners to do so,so please do not attempt to copy what we are doing.

basketcase687 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 While it's a beautiful site, I am curious what might have happened if each ran off in a different direction? Quite simply,they never run off.This is the place they are exercised 365 days a year.They are off lead every day here.Neither ourselves or Graham,the other owner ever have problems with them off lead.Any dog can run away.My sister has a golden retriever,but he is not good off lead.Dogs are like people,they are all individuals,all have their own unique character and personality.Hopefully,we know our own dogs better than anyone else!!

Whilst I appreciate seeing your video, you have your own opinions regarding huskies being offllead. However I would not be saying things in such a way as to make people think it is ok to let their huskies offlead as the general advice from almost every source is not to do so. I am not going to slate for you doing so yourself, as you clearly have very good control of your huskies at a first glance, however bare in mind the impression you may give to others who may not have the same luxury.

As I said before,hopefully you all know your own dogs best .I am sure that most husky owners are very aware of the rule that generally you should not let huskies off their leads.Over the last couple of years ,we have come across quite a number of people who DO let their huskies off lead.That is for each individual to decide,please be assured we are certainly not trying to encourage anyone to copy us.

Marc Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I am sure that most husky owners are very aware of the rule that generally you should not let huskies off their leads. And this is where you seem to be misunderstanding the forum. There are a lot of people come here who are looking into the breed to find out more information, therefore no not everyone will know. Which it why I ask you to bare in mind the impression you give to others when posting things like this. As I have said before, what you do is your business and you seem to have control very well, however you MUST state that it is not recommended and make this extremly clear in your posts when posting things like this. The title itself does give the impression that it is a good thing to do, which for the majority of people it is definately not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi There, Thanks for your comments.As you say,this can be a touchy subject,but we do trust our dogs off lead.Like yourselves,we are wary of strange dogs etc,but can honestly say they listen very well and have never mindlessly ran off.But we are not saying everyone else try it!!

We thank you for reminding us of the dangers of letting any dog off the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceybob Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice video, I personally wouldn't do it and would consider it a danger to have such a large pack off the lead all at once as they could quite easily take the pack instinct and start to hunt.

Stacey xxx Hi Stacey, Thank you for your comments.Have to admit they have once caught a baby rabbit but that's been about it! We very much welcome,value and appreciate everyones different comments and opinions,that is afterall, why we joined this site.We have been amazed at the number of viewings this video has had,and apologize if we have annoyed, upset, or given anyone the wrong impression by posting this videos.:eek:That was never our intention,we are new to this site and simply wanted to show some beautiful dogs enjoying a walk together. We are aware that it is generally not advisable to let huskies off lead,and are certainly not advising or suggesting anyone else should try this. Seems this video should have come with a health warning!.Any future ones most definitely will. Most of our videos show our dogs off lead,and we did want to post some more,but not sure now we will,as we do not want to get into any further controversial discussions on this subject!.No harm or offence intended honest!! Once again,thank you for your comments, Karen.x;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
