kkendra Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Didn't know there's more than one Singaporean here! Here you go May I know how much is husky selling for in Singapore now? Heard from friends they are pretty expensive - buying from a well known breeder is gonna cost a bomb... I have the urge to starting speaking Singlish but they're gonna think I'm talking weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calin Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Welcome! Fellow Singaporean here, currently studying in Melbourne now tho Missed the fireworks on National Day - was it still the same old? Lots of helpful people here giving advice 24/7, so if ever in doubt feel free to post them here! @Calin It really depends on the type of housing you'll be living in Flats in Singapore generally do not allow large breed - list of approved breed can be found here: http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10326p.nsf/w/PetBreedsAllowed?OpenDocument However, they are allowed in private properties and condos Renting might also be a problem if the place comes furnished And....Singapore is hot and humid (you've been there, you know that), not exactly an ideal country for a husky to live in. Some of the husky owners there on their air-conditioning 24/7 so it's not an issue for them Hey thanks for the info, I'd have a choice between a residence up by Woodlands or a condo by Raffles Place provided by the company so that should be fine as far as accommodation is concerned, I was more worried about how they would deal with that level of humidity and the heat. I'd have no problems keeping the air-con on, but how do they deal with being outside? I don't really want to go to a park and have the poor guy dying under a tree!

Calin Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hi hi, hope you liked your stay here in Singapore during June! Think @kkendra did a lot of answering to your queries on living with dogs here. By the way, where are u & Aries from? Cos we might have some quarantine laws here that u might wanna check it out. I heard it has been relaxed a whole lot lately. So it might not be that much a hassle after all. But do check them out first. I think Singapore is generally dog friendly (but I feel there is still lots of room to improve). U can walk Aries in parks like the Botanic gardens. And we have several fenced up dog runs across the island state. There is even a new dog run on top of a new shopping mall with a dog cafe along with it. If there are any specific things u wanna know more about, do gimme a shout. Hey thanks, I love singapore, still cant believe how fast it changes. Last time I was there was before Marina Bay was built, it's crazy how efficient you guys are I got Aries in the UK and I've been living there with him the past year and a half, otherwise I'm Dutch. I donno, I'm not set to go until jan next year, but regardless of the offer I'm not going to go if it means leaving Aries here, even if it's with family so I have to make a decision soon.

I am glad u like Singapore! Not sure when was the last time you were over here as we have the Universal Studios theme park at Sentosa island now! And next month, in September, there will be the Formula-1 Grand Prix Night Race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go [ATTACH=full]17932[/ATTACH] May I know how much is husky selling for in Singapore now? Heard from friends they are pretty expensive - buying from a well known breeder is gonna cost a bomb... I have the urge to starting speaking Singlish but they're gonna think I'm talking weird Well, on the costs of buying a husky here. Really depends. I have seen pet shops offering as low as S$ 1288 to show breeders offering for S$3k and above for pups. And I am referring to pet pups and not show potential pups ya. Since u are in Melbourne. U should definitely bring your dog or even more back. Lol. It's cheaper and better quality (bloodlines, health wise etc) if u manage to get it from a good breeder there. Try to attend the Royal Melbourne Show there (should be in September if I recall correctly) and find out which day they are showing the huskies and get acquainted with the breeders there. There are a lot of information on breeders in Victoria in the net. Am sure some of them might be right here in this forum too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @calin, Thanks for the compliments about my little country! Yes, we came a long way over a really short period of time. In fact we just celebrated our 46th National Day on Tuesday! We are a young nation but you have seen it yourself how we managed to build a little city state into what it is today. Coming from UK there will be no quarantine required. So its gonna be easy to bring Aries over. Rest assured, they will live ok here. Just avoid the afternoon sun. Go to the parks in the morning or evenings and Aries will be fine. We have people keeping Alaskan malamutes, old English sheepdogs, chow chows, etc here as well. Hence plenty of water and a little planning on the time to walk your dog etc will definitely do. U can bring Aries to the beaches for a swim too if it gets a little warm! Lol. And we've got plenty of veterinary hospitals & clinics here. And lots of petshops & couple of dog friendly cafes/restaurants here too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I do bring my dogs to Sentosa over the weekend sometimes. Near Siloso beach, there are beach bars that are dogs friendly. So you can have a beer and let the dog have a swim as well. There's also a Cafe del Mar there that has a pool for dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from 24 September - 2 Oct - have been waiting for it since I came over! Not sure I wanna get another just yet, will definitely look into it if I know I'll be staying in Melb for good. My mum is real scared of dogs, and with the amount of room space I have back home, add in two or more huskies will be a nightmare lol @Calin Think you got your million question answered!
