Siberian Huskies - Breeders

I'd always suggest getting a "breed" of dog from a professional breeder.

It's a two fold benefit. You should get a well bred healthy animal and the breeder should ensure that you understand what is involved with the animal your getting.

Puppies are cute for a year or so - dogs are a long term commitment like children.

Here are a few of their traits:
1. high prey drive (they love to chase, that means no parks that are not fenced in basically can't let them off the leash in an open area)
2. very intelligent = hard to train
3. WILL destroy your yard. They love to dig and chew.
4. WILL pull on the lead.

If your girlfriend wants a Husky because they are cute and wolf like wrong reason to get one.

Sorry for the rant, i've seen a lot of huskies bought for the wrong reasons. Just a bit of advice.

I have an Alaskan Malamute - similar issues as Sibe's just twice the size. I have seen quite a few re homed because someone wanted a "wolf" and had no idea what they were in for.

Having said all that she has been part of our family for 12 years and I wold never change that.

You get out what you put in with dogs and kids

I have an Alaskan Malamute for the past 5 years. For those that have no idea, Alaskan malamute is similar type of breed as a Siberian Husky. She showed the same traits as mentioned when she is about 2 years old. She definitely needs to be on leash when out in the park. I believe Siberian husky, like Alaskan Malamute, will not always listen to your command unlike other pure breed like Border Collie or Labrador (They can be stubborn at times). Also, they howl instead of bark =)

THIS

I have a Samoyed, similar to a Husky/Malamute but pure white.

They are all fantastic dogs but its not a commitment you take lightly. They require a lot of your time, not the type of dog you can just leave outside to its own devices. They are pack dogs and need to feel that they are a part of one (spending lots of time with the family) also being sled dogs require a lot of exercise.

Do some research, talk to and visit breeders before you go and buy one and then realise it is too much for you to handle.

THIS ! V V True, I have had 2.

Be prepared for lots more housework as well they shed all over the place in summer. I mean really shed, start thinking about sweeping or vac every 2 days.

By no means are any of us trying to put you off, Owning one is hard work but very rewarding, just need to be in a position to put in the hard yards.
