Joey.Zarly Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Going to a meet IMO cannot determine whether or not having another male in the house will be ok. Each dog has been raised differently and it depends on the individual dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyshqa Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 You're more likely to encounter problems with two females. Two males, or a male and a female, are usually less trouble But it's always down to the individual dogs, just because they're certain genders doesn't automatically mean they will or won't get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 every dog is different - i have 3 in tact males aged 4, 3 and 2 - the 2 yr old Koda, we rehomed last year and he slotted in perfectly - you could get a male and female and they'd still fight - it's not the sex of the dog that determins if they'll get on - it's their personality, how they were raised, how they are looked after / trained etc x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranormal Wolf Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Can't add much that hasn't already been said. I will add I have 3 unaltered males of different breeds and ages and they get along great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its_A_Husky_Thing Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 As stated, take your dog to meet the new one you are thinking of getting. Then you will know. We have two males as well, and they get along great and are inseperatble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I've had two intact males before they got on quite well until hormones came in but it wasnt just that the older male was food aggressive so whether he had been neutered or not that would have been there. I took the younger male to see him and went for a walk then took him home that day it was definately in the house we found out all his problems to which the previous owners said he didnt have. So just be careful on what they say. But with anything you can work with them just be prepared for all possibilities in taking on an older dog but i wouldnt really bring sex into it with huskies. Akitas can be same sex aggressive so be aware of that in your current dog but the husky in him may overide that I now have a male and a female and the female is more of a bully!! lol but they get on really well cuddle up and play all the time no major fights my female isnt quite 6 months old yet though my male is 2.

Jay Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I agree, I have heard that two females are more of an issue with Huskies, but I think it depends on the dogs. Before I got Yukon I met a few people that were wanting to rehome their husky and I brought Nikko to meet them. The first meeting did not go well at all, the other dog was very aggressive. The second meeting went better. At first it was kind of scary but then they got along, but when we were getting ready to leave the other dog snapped at Nikko. I think it was because we were on his turf. Since I have gotten Yukon they both get along together great and they are both males. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyka&Diva Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 its all down to the individual dog i was told having females only would fight but we havent had any fights between our girls lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyMom09 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well lets see I have 11 dogs total, 6 male, 5 female. They spend each day in the yard together and are kenneled in pairs at night (25'x10' runs) and the ONLY time I have ever had an issue with anyone is with my 2 intact males when our females go into heat, the neutered boys could care less as do the spayed females. Knowing the issue now we just separate the boys when the girls come into season and no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Suka, my husky, seems to have scraps only with the males at the dog park and on walks. Doesn't matter if they are intact or not. And he's absolutely fine with the ladies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 it depends on the dog its self not the gender, how is loki with other dogs? my husky kaiser gets on with everydog he's a big softy, so i know how he would react woth another husky around.. bring them out together let them have a sniff and a play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Meet the white husky outside, then bring your akita/husky into their house... again do the same at your house. As long as you introduce properly and let the dogs understand not to flip and identify their triggers (if any), you should be safe. Feed both in both places carefully while other owner is present. If the other owner says that the husky goes to dogparks, go and meet them there. You would not believe how many casees are there where the dog woners have passed responsibilities to new owners claiming that their dogs are friendly in dogparks - and they believing them, take it to the dog parks only to realize that they had no control over their new dog once it saw a crowd of it's own. Most you might get could be food agression or competetive jelousy from the akita in your husk. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindog Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 To be honest, I think this is a recipe for disaster. Your existing dog is an Akita cross. Akitas are well known for exhibiting same-sex aggression. We had the most good tempered, friendly, soppy Akita bitch who lived with our Sibe bitches from 12 weeks old. Then, at about 2 years old, without warning she changed and wanted to kill (literally - not fighting for pack position, but fighting to kill!) our other bitches. Malamutes are also known for same sex aggression, so you could be storing up a huge pile of problems and future vet bills. I think your girlfriend is 100% right. Find a neutered bitch to be his friend - much less potential for problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjk Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 it depends on a number of things, probably the most influencing factor in my opinion is if they are intact (no neutered yet) secondly the dogs personality. we have 3 females (sibe, sibe x mal and a mal) they get along no fighting at all. the last female we fostered just didn't get along with ours. don't forget huskies do play rough and they will have a bit of rough and tumble to see where they sit in the hierarchy. we always took any husky we where looking after to a park near us where we don't go to introduce them all on neutral ground. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - the fact that neither dog is neutered makes the potential situation even more dangerous. Especially taking into account the fact that both are young dogs at the maximum testosterone stage. With same-sex-aggressive dogs, we are not talking about "rough play" we are talking potentially about dead or seriously injured dogs. Our Akita bitch broke through two substantial fences to attack one of our sibe bitches and the resulting vet bill for both bitches came to over £1000. In addition to which, I had 30+ stitches in my arm from injuries received while separating them. The "red mist" was so strong that none of the "approved" methods for separating fighting dogs had any effect whatever and I knew that if I didn't want at least one dead dog, I had to get in amongst them and separate them physically.

tiffany Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I currently have 3 male sibes and 1 female akita living at my house. the youngest sibe is only 30 weeks old, and is not neutered. the others are all altered. I have never had any issues with my males getting along. but the akita is top dog in our house. i have had akitas longer than i have had huskies, and i would not personally risk it. izzy ( the akita) was socialized out the butt when we first got her at 5 months old. had no issues until she got about 2ish, then she started to be more wary and had some da issues. thank goodness i knew the breed and we had gotten male sibes. i would be okay with the opposite sex, you just never know when the akita instinct might show up.

raindog Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Exactly. We've got 5 males and 8 female Siberians (5 of the girls are neutered) and rarely have any same sex aggression from either boys or girls. The Akita was a totally different matter however, and although she was the sweetest-natured girl imaginable with people, after the age of two she suddenly wanted to kill any female dogs she came across. We had to send her back to the breeder where she now lives happily with a male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
