AstrilafayeHusky Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi everyone. As you know, I'm quite new to all this. Ever since we bought our boy home at around 8 weeks old, my cousin and I have been unsure if he really is the age we were told he is. When we bought him home he was very small. So small in fact that he was able to sit on my kitchen scales! He weighed just 400g! Although he is KC registered the breeder was a little suspect and it took me threatening legal action for her to actually register the litter!! By this time though we were already in love with the boy so we weren't going to give him up. I just wondered if any of you had an opinion on his age? The photos attached are of him with our 13 week old (at the time) and late German Shepard puppy. He has now grown quite a bit and the picture below is him with our 4 month old girl Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 It's hard to tell , what are his ages within the pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstrilafayeHusky Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 The first and second pics are when we bought him home at supposedly 8 weeks. The last one is him at (based on the breeders timescale) 22 weeks, the girl on the left in the last picture is 15.5 weeks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Have u got any better pictures? Close ups of him ( body face etc) in the first pic I'd have said around 6 weeks but it's not easy to tell Not sure if this helps but This is my pup at 6 weeks 7 and a half weeks 4 and a half months 5months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpups Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I would say from the first 2 pics he was less then 8 weeks old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 It won't show the video but that pic makes him look really young there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstrilafayeHusky Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Sorry I don't know how else to add the video. I can play it from the link on my phone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 it does show the video for me and even though I have no experience with pups it does look younger then 8 weeks in the video to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 This is just a guess, because that's all anyone can offer you, other than the breeder. I would say his age when you picked him up was between 4 to 5 weeks. And I'm sure you know, that would be way too early for a pup to leave the litter, but not your fault.

AstrilafayeHusky Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes, I think you're right looking at pictures of other husky puppies that age online. I am well aware that it's much too young for him to have left home. Unfortunately since he was the first husky puppy I've had I didn't know any different at the time Luckily he was around other puppies so still managed to learn valuable lessons like bite inhibition but you can certainly tell with some of his behaviour that he missed out on valuable time with mummy and his litter mates. It's certainly made training him a lot harder!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael_Astro Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Here is Astro's litter at around 5 weeks. At least he was able to be brought up with other dogs what an irresponsible breeder! But it looks like he's gone to a great home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
