Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 How would your Non-husky friends describe your dogs compared to you?? Mine (If I had any) would say Storm is too hypo and in your face, and pulls too much. They would say Angel is dangeous and unpredictable and needs muzzling I guess.

mydiamond Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 why are people's opinion always so negative? Anyways here's what I got: Friends: Awww he's so cuuuteee! Have never met a dog that is so well-behaved! (this is not a surprise. Indonesians almost don't see the need of training their dogs. If they feel like the dogs need to be trained, they'll call a K9 officer to train their dogs. Too bad, those trainers don't teach the owners how to train dogs so they end up with a dog that only listens when the trainer is around) Neighbors: is it really legal to keep a wolf as a pet? One former friend: you kidding me. Huskies are one of those dogs that eat people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simhauu Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Some friends would say I'm being harsh on him that he's just a pup (the training)... bf's and mine mom say the same. One friend respects me that I have him so well-trained while he's so young. And that he's the second dog she's not afraid of! Bf says he doesn't respect me as much as him. Arab neighbors are scared of him because he's a dog. Other people are amazed that he's a husky not a Swiss or German shepherd's dog, a wolf or... Because huskies are black&white. And some are like "beware he'll bite you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ryn is out with me a lot. She comes to work at least once a week and our walks are normally in places where there are many people. Most people who meet her are surprised at how well-behaved she is. We get a lot of 'How old is she? Wow, she's well-behaved. I wouldn't mind getting a husky.' I always thank them for the positive comments and then remind them of the work that a husky can be. She didn't get to be so mellow around people without being constantly exposed and worked with. Then, I tell them about Strider [MENTION=1869]sutsibe[/MENTION] , usually makes them change their minds! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleLuka Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 "OMG he's going to be HUGE. why do you want a big dog?" "His fur doesn't shed as much as our labs." "Did you know your husky is part wolf?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwolf Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Like [MENTION=53]Austinville[/MENTION] I get a lot of comments on how well-behaved they are. Anyone who comes into our livingroom sees the dogs standing at the top of the stairs, leaning over to get a look at the new visitor. They aren't allowed upstairs, but there is no gate or door preventing them from coming up. Scout has great recall and a desire to please (he's half German shepherd), and Wyatt walks very well on a leash. One friend in particular (who owns a malamute) just adores Wyatt and his pushover nature! I try to take the their comments as the compliments intended, but to be honest I look at my dogs and see the bare minimum of acceptable behaviour - if I actually took the time to really work with them, then they'd be well-behaved! When they can't get over how the dogs won't come past the doorway I just kinda shrug and say "dogs don't live upstairs." I'm still not happy with how Scout walks on a leash, but they can still be easily walked together by one person. My husband's side of the family, however, sees typical breed stereotypes and thinks they are baby-eaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povodny Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I've had comments such as "you're bonkers!" "what on earth possessed you!?" "how do you cope!?" and "I'd kill them" Strangely, I also regularly received the first three comments when I had four young children :confused:lol I often added the last myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
