5- Nana went to Best in Show 2 times!

6- Escaped from a crate at her puppy sitter's and then got through a indoor gate, and then let out all the other dogs.

[Frenchie]

Here's some facts about Mishka

1. This is her 4th home, she is a private rehome, I got her a few weeks before she turned 1.

2. Her favorite words are ''Wee wee'', ''Dinner'' and ''Walkies''. These all get a woo woo and instant excitement lol

3. She absolutely adores the game ''Tug of wars'', when she wants to play she'll get the toy and drop it on my lap, and repeat the process until I take the hint and play with her lol

4. She's become a lot more vocal as she's gotten older, she's constantly woo woo'ing now

5. She loves going to the beach, this is the only place where she digs, oh and she was scared of the waves the first few times we went lol.

6. She is the ultimate public transport traveller, people always comment on how good she is, rush hour on London buses? No problem, she lays underneath the seat between my legs lol.

7. She had severe separation anxiety and would toilet as soon as I closed the door, would not eat/drink, play with her toys or anything else when I was out, she would just pace and howl, it took months for things to start improving.

8. She won over 80 rosettes at companion/fun dog shows between February and October last year, including 8 best in shows/reserve best in shows/dog of the day. We're looking forward to this year's shows.

9. A family friend nicknamed her ''Chewy'' because she used to chew everything, and now she only responds to him when he calls her Chewy lol

10. She likes to look out the window a lot, she used to try and lay on the window seal but she couldn't fit properly, so I put a big chest by the window and her bed on top of it so she gets to lay down and look out the window, she loves it lol

Hmm, facts about Champ...

 

1) He wasn't the first dog I was interested in at the husky rescue I got him from, but I did consider adopting him so when I found out the dog that I had originally wanted had been adopted I decided to meet Champ and we had an instant connection.

 

2) He has a really high prey drive, which had me freaked out for a while but I've learned to be vigilant on our walks.

 

3)  He is very loving, loves to be near me at all times and enjoys demanding my attention.

 

4)  Absolutely loves going for car rides, if I ask him if he wants to go for a car ride he gets instantly excited and runs over to sit at the gate that's at the bottom of the stairs.

 

5)  Is only vocal around meal times, he'll bark and howl a little bit if I goad him in to it or if he's feeling particularly impatient but otherwise he's very quiet.

 

6)  He was a stray in Indiana, underweight and so shut down that the staff at Raven's thought he was deaf until he started opening up.

 

7)  He doesn't really know how to play, he'll play with his tennis ball and chew on his bone but I stumbled into showing him how to play tug and he'll play when I bring out the toy.

 

8)  He knows a handful of tricks and we're working on others.

 

9)  He's a complete goof.

 

10)  He always manages to make my day even if he's done something he's not supposed to.

 

[Clare70]

Harry

 

1) We didn't plan on getting a husky and he was the second one we met

2) Was a stray, though goodness only knows why and we rescued him when he was approx. 18 months old

3) From day one has always been potty trained, only ever had 2 accidents, 1 on the first day, second when he was poorly

4) Loves all people and other dogs, gets really excited at meeting both

5) Pulls like a train on walks for the first part, then walks by your side to the point you could probably let him off lead, though never would.

6) Tolerates me, don't think he really loves me and worse so since getting his brother

7) Loves to lay anywhere he shouldn't and when I get up in the morning he likes to get in my bed

8) Is very grumpy at times and likes his own space, doesn't really like to be cuddled unless there is a treat involved, then he's your best friend

9) Often starves himself, seems to have a 2 good weeks eating then nothing for a day or two, drives me mad!

10) Used to chew our hands to pieces to the point it was becoming a real pain, since we got the pup it's stopped over night.

 

 

Snowy

 

1) I didn't want a second dog but my adorable husband rescued him, brought him home without me knowing, giving me 6 hours notice

2) We are his 4th owners, was going to be pts as no one could home him, he had issues though I've no idea what they were, he's been great with us.

3) He's a mix breed, probably GSD/husky, though some days I wonder

4) Always really pleased to see you, loves a cuddle, loves people and other dogs especially his big bro

5) Tends to eat other animals poo, so have to be mega vigilant when out on walks

6) Was really skinny when we got him, was underfed and think he'll always be a small dog. Since we've had him he's gained 5kg and is really filling out

7) Will hoover his food up then gets the hiccups after, he would eat a whole packet of food if you allowed it

8) Has eaten several pairs of shoes, 2 wicker chairs, important documents and the contents of the rubbish bin

9) Loves to play fetch, is quite responsive to commands, apart from when we are out on walks

10) Best thing we ever did was rehoming him, hard at first but now he's the perfect addition to our family. He and Harry are the best of friends and rally good for each other.

[winterchillz]

Awe, so many great stories on here Makes me want to cuddle all the furbabies

 

Okay, so, here's Ares:

 

1) He got his name when he was a pup due to how he was attacking and playing with everything he sees. His destructive behaviour remained so you can tell he goes by his name.

 

2) He was brought home by my mum and I was against getting a dog, but now he's one of the most important things in my life.

 

3) He was never potty trained as he moved to the backyard at early age however even when he's inside he never has accidents and usually cries out when he needs to go.

 

4) He is super eager to play with all dogs but the way he initiates play (by jumping towards the dog) usually scares off the other dogs.

 

5) He still sees my sister as a toy rather as a human so given the occasion he'd drag her all around the floor.

 

6) Lately he's been growing protective over me.

 

7) A few months ago no one would believe me that he wasn't an year old yet - at around 6 months of age he was already looking like a grown dog.

 

8) He loves waking me up by jumping on the bed and pawing me in the face.

 

9) He likes to argue with me by woo-ing when he's not agreed on something that I'm telling him to do.

 

10) By character he looks like a brother of Jason's Nikko, just by a different mum

[BingBlaze n Skyla]

Paddle the water bowl?!?...I got to see a video of that...PLEEEEEEEASE

this is an old vid - shes not quite as 'extreme' with it now lol 

 

[DamirNYK]

Let's see if we can squezze everything about Kira into 10 facts

 

1. When I first found her in a shelter I recommended her to a friend, he was indecisive, so 2 days later I decided to go to a shelter and meet her to see what she's like, we went there through a snow storm, fell in love and she was driving back home with us the same day!

 

2. Her "shelter" name was Bella, we had to change it cos that's the name of a girl we know that we don't have a high opinion of . Her name Kira is actually after an orca (killer whale) that was under protection of greenpiece.

 

3. She hates vets!!!

 

4. She doesn't like most female dogs and even some male we meet and isn't affraid to get into a fight, even with much larger dogs.

 

5. When she meets a dog she does like she is the most loving, playfull, gentle friend in the world for that dog.

 

6. She's obsessed with food (she was shin and bones when they found her, so it's justified)

 

7. Has a strong prey drive. When she sees a dear (there's plenty over here), there's nothing that could change her attention from it, once she killed and ate a chicken.

 

8. Is a pretty good friend with our cats, any other cat is an enemy.

 

9. She rarely made any sound until a few months back, now we get into a conversation pretty often and she gets very exited and happy when we converse.

 

10. She has a very thick coat so she looks obese, especially with wintercoat, and everyone always comments on her weight how she gained it or lost it, when in reality she's always the same weight, it's the coat that keeps changing.

 

Here's my favorite baby girl, a pic from the shelter compared to after, roughly, a year and half with us.

 

[diane56]

10 facts about my Keira:

1. She was rescued from a really bad kennel. Her crate was at the bottom of another dog so she had skin issues for the first 2 months.

2. She was hardly taken out for walks and hardly fed so helping her into an exercise and meal routine wasn't as easy as it was with my other Sib.

3. She gets so excited when we go out that she tends to do a "kangaroo" (hops on hind legs) took a while to teach her to relax.

4. She loves to kiss, she sneaks up on anyone who naps on the couch and kisses them till they wake up.

5. Catches frogs and offers them to me (as in drops the dead frog on my feet 😭)

6. She is more of a listener than a "talker" unlike her mate Jack

7. She has striking blue eyes that change depending on the lighting. When we're out on a sunny day you can only see black dots hahah scary beautiful ðŸ˜

8. She steals brownies off the table so beautifully that it hurts to scold her since she can't have them no matter how much effort she put in stealing them.

9. She likes showing off her tricks and performing in front of guests.

10. She loves ice cubes and my nephews (4yo and 3yo)

Skyla   I LOVE YOU :lol: ...Thanks Nixy, that was great!

[mydiamond]

That's a great idea so without further ado...

 

Diamond

 

1. I often call him "mini wolf" because he's only 40 cm (15.7 inches) from paw to the withers. 

2. He has two light brown patches behind his ears, and red patches on his elbows.

3. Anyone that has been here for several years would know... He used to be fearful of the whole world. Cats, dogs, children, umbrellas, trucks, dark-skinned people... You name it.

4. And now, he has helped several people overcome their phobia of canines

5. He knows a long list of commands and tricks because he's a fast learner 

6. 99% of people in my neighborhood calls me "Diamond" or "the girl that walks Diamond" because he's more popular than I am!

7. I have had him three years and I've heard him properly bark three times. Only. 

8. He's so lazy some guests thought he's a doll! ("EEEK the doll moved!")

9. He's my savior, my best friend, my partner in crime, my four-legged furry son. I don't know what to do without him

10. He's one of the best dogs in the whole wide world you'd agree too if you meet him in person

 

[Wy Renegade]

Wow, harder than I thought to distill them down to ten facts;

 

Tayga - my big baby!

 

1. Came to us at 6 months of age

 

2. True Black and White, had a mask when younger, but lost it

 

3. He is a talker for sure, but mainly he whines . . . hence my big baby

 

4. He is built like a Tank (which was actually his name before he came to us)

 

5. He absolutely pouts when he see the harness in my hand - his ears go flat, he slinks around, and he sulks once it is on till he starts working

 

6. He listens well for a Siberian, but is far from perfect

 

7. He is LAZY - he never works any harder at anything than he has too; he once tried to run away through the deep snow, but turned around and came back because he decided it was too much work

 

8. He always scarfs his food

 

9. He loves to be petted, kissed, and have his belly rubbed - in fact he will paw at your hand until you do, but he never tolerates being snuggled

 

10. He is AKC pointed and took his first major at 18 months

 

 

Myst - my baby girl

 

1. Also came to us at 6 months of age

 

2. Grey and White, was a silver, but now has a little tan/buff between her ears and down the back of her ruff

 

3. Very quiet, she almost never talks or whines

 

4. She was poetry in motion - super graceful with very fluid movement

 

5. 100% Siberian husky - runs at every opportunity, seldom listens, and can open her crate and the gate to the outside run

 

6. Has escaped too many times to count

 

7. Tore her cruciate ligament on one of her many escapades, so may never get to enter the show ring

 

8. Absolutely loves to pull, even after her surgery

 

9. Tolerates being petted, loves having her belly rubbed, and will occasionally snuggle

 

10. Is a super-picky eater and often skips meals, have had major issues with her weight

 

Favorite picture: my avatar of course;

[musicalxheart]

This is awesome.

 

Keira

1. She is my first Husky, and was one of two puppies left in her litter. The other four had been bought already. 

2. She is rarely quiet, unless she's napping or it's time for bed. 

3. She knows a long list of commands and tricks, and has proven to be a very fast learner. 

4. She may be a little on the small side, but she has a lot of power and can pull my husband over when she's excited and determined to go.

5. She gets along well with most and people, and loves our son.

6. She is the dominant dog in the house, but knows that my husband and I make the rules. 

7. She doesn't really like to cuddle that often, but she LOVES getting her belly rubbed and her neck scratched. 

8. She will play fetch for hours. 

9. She is obsessed with squeaky toys. 

10. Even though she has frustrated us in the past year, she has been the absolute best dog we could have ever asked for, and we are very lucky to have her in our family. 

 

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures of Keira: 

 

 

We finally got a decent snow this month and Keira was pretending to be an ostrich, LOL! Both of these were taken at our local off-lead dog park.

 

Sage

1. She loves to cuddle and get belly rubs from everyone she meets.

2. She has the cutest howl, and her voice is deeper than Keira's. 

3. She potty trained just as fast as Keira did. 

4. She will let me blow dry her after a bath. 

5. When we are outside or at the dog park, she will find sticks to carry in her mouth or carry a ball around (she will even hold the ball or stick in her mouth if she is doing her business too, lol). 

6. She is a very calm Husky, and rarely gets the zoomies. 

7. She knows a few commands and tricks, and we are working on more. 

8. When we say crate or bed, she is the first one to go.

9. She has a woolly coat, and it takes me forever to brush her fur out. Thankfully she lays there and lets me do it or we'd have a serious problem. 

10. She adores Keira, but won't let Keira bully her and will let her know when she's had enough if Keira doesn't take a hint.

 

And now for my favorite pictures of Sage:

 

 

Both of those of Sage are older, I need to get some good pictures of her now. She doesn't like to hold still for long so getting good pictures of her seems nearly impossible lol.

[kchesney8]

Tuff:
