cristii Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hey there all husky lovers! This is my first time writing a post on the forum, but I have been constantly reading for a few months now. Since the date that I am getting my new husky is getting closer, I finally decided to introduce myself ... Hi! My first husky("experience") was 10 years ago when I was only 12 years old. It doesn't really count though since I wasn't the caring for him 24/7 but I was able to learn about his behaviors and how to deal with them to some extent. He was all white, with amber eyes. (please excuse the quality of the picture, its old) His name was Jimmy! As a puppy we would always waddle when we took him out for walks. We only had him for less than 6 years, because an awful neighbor fed him something that caused his death:(. Besides the one-on-one experience with an actual husky, I have been reading difference books and blogs to further my knowledge. So the reason for my post is for any kind of advice that anyone can provide for me. Reading about them can only help me so much, so that's why I am asking for feedback. Thanks Bunches PS Once I get the new puppy I will update everyone with pictures ... everyone seems to like those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollynDiesel Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Welcome! Thats horrible what your neighbour did! Cant wait for pictures of your pup Firstly. One thing i have learnt about actually caring for a husky 24/7, You can read all the husky books and blogs in the world! The only thing that will really help is actually getting 1. Example: Ive read, huskies cant have wheat, Mine HAS to have wheat (total weirdo pup i know lol) Secondly: There are meets as you probably know, not sure if there are many now so close to christmas but maybe you could go to 1 of them and talk to people and meet some of their dogs? (If there are any near by for you?) Thirdly: When are you getting your pup??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemysiberian Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Welcome aboard! Your Jimmy was so cute, and I'm so sorry he was so short lived because of a terrible act by your neighbor.. I hope he got in trouble for it, that is just awful Hope you enjoy the forum, and can't wait to hear about (and see pictures) of your little bundle of joy when he/she arrives!

Andy Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Welcome to the BEST husky forum in the WORLD.

sutsibe Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi and - Jimmy was a cutie! Have a look around, and read the posts that interest you - as Andy suggested, the behavior and training posts will probably be the most useful. It's hard to give you what you're looking for without more specific questions to answer. If you go to the member map, it's possible you can find some people in your area and visit with their Huskies - you might find that helpful!
