I wanna own a husky!!!!

Huskies are the most wonderful critters ever - most biased person you know here! We had two huskies, one from a puppy and one from rescue shelter.

The puppy was a cross with a german shepherd. Now I tell you what he was gorgeous, people kept stopping us in the street asking if he was for sale, we actually thought someone would steal him. They never did. He had a fantastic temperament. You have to look out for that in their parentage.

They are VERY destructive when they are pups - they will eat shoes, doors, electric cables etc. so patience is an absolute virtue with them but once they hit 1 - 1.5 yrs you are sold for life. They are so protective of you, your family and your house. Remember they are one of the closest animals to their original roots, i.e. the wolf! He was more like the Japanese Aquita - and the Japanese used to leave them alone with their kids! So you MUST treat them with a lot of respect, even though they have demolished your house you may not feel like giving it!

The second was a real CROSS with absolutely everything. But once she got over her new environment (she was 18 months when we got her) she was very protective and sincere.

They take a lot of patience and training but if you are up to it - it is certainly worth it. I really recommend them as guard dogs and as a pet that will look after kids.

I'll give you more advice if you need it.. Good luck!

Had a mixed husky who just passed away this year feb 14th 2008. Still miss her very much because she was so cute, adorable and smart. for now no more dogs. In future when my husband and I have a landed house we will definitely get two pure breed huskies one male and one female.
