Andy Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Welcome Mike and Beki. I take this is your first siberian bundle of fur ?? What's she going to be called ?? If this is your first Husky then you're in for a treat 'cos they are NOT like any other dog. have a read of this http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/threads/thinking-of-getting-your-1st-husky-read-this.6842/ It'll familiarise you with a few "Quirks" of the breed. I'm sure you'll have a ton of questions when you get the pup. Answering them is what we do best. We have 4500+ members in over 60 different countries. There is almost always someone online to help out. Good luck and most important 1st rule of Husky owners is POST PICS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the bond grows so will the trust. i feel ur exitement - u wont regret it. Mmmmmm bit of controversy here, i would say that the % of siberians that continue to recall as they get older is very low, trust your own judgement on this as yours get older but always have it in the back of your thoughts that there is a big chance that one day when you call them back they will give you the finger ( or paw ) and just run. Would be a good poll to set up( @Sarah ) to see how many owners have a husky that is 100% trained on recall, especially after say 2 years.

We look forward to chatting on here . Mike and Becki--- to the pack! Your girl is absolutely Goorgeous!!! She has the upside-down mark of Tyr on her, she's very beautiful! Any choices on a name yet? I would invest in a metal crate to crate train her-it'll help you along, and give her her own "cave" or space thats all hers, they actually LIKE it! Its so exciting when getting ready to pick them up, we're excited for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 another Storm. I never recommend letting a husky offlead, it may come back everyday without fail for 10 years and one day run off and the only thing which will stop it is a car, train or farmers gun etc. IMO not worth the risk.

Removed #5 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 another Storm. I never recommend letting a husky offlead, it may come back everyday without fail for 10 years and one day run off and the only thing which will stop it is a car, train or farmers gun etc. IMO not worth the risk. Boyo, you're one great optimist - but the last is why Misty's back on leash - I let her out the other night for her nightly run and after she'd been out for an hour or so I heard gunfire. (and the blasted dog didn't come home till something like 5:00!! talk about one nervous 'daddy') I have to admit, though that I've taken a couple of pot shots at coyotes that have gotten too close to the house lately. They come in just far enough to entice the dog to come out and "play", but play times comes with dinner and the pup is dinner! Haven't found out yet who was firing at what, but - as you say - not worth the risk! I consider myself really lucky that if / when she gets loose she will come home on her own - eventually!

Kissu & Aara Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Its plastered all over the net to not let huskies off lead for a reason Please dont encourage random husky owners to let their husky off lead just because yours is so far an exception!
