My Story:

Well i'm 31yrs young! I was bitten by our family dog (he was a Alsation) when i was about 12yrs old, (i have a few scars on my face from that, but make-up cover's them up) so i was scared of dogs for a long time, then when i was 27 i met a woman at work and we became friends, well it turned out she had six Siberian huskies, i told her i was afraid of dogs and so her and her pack helped me to overcome this and since then i have just been head over heals n love with sibes.
I did alot of research on Siberian Huskies and found out that they are not a dog for everyone, there are so many Siberian Huskies in welfare because of poor research, (and other reasons of course) So when we got our first one Nova i was all prepared........hahahaha i think not!! she chewed the couch, she kept battling with me to be the dominant one, it was a real struggle, but i carried on and got in touch with my friend (who is now a dog whisperer) and she gave me some pointer's on how to cope with her dominant behavour and now she is a wonderful dog who occasionally still try's to be dominant! Then we got our second Husky from the SHWA (Siberian Husky Welfare Association) he is 2 1/2 years old and he is the most placid dog you could ever meet, he is the perfect playmate for Nova as he lets her get away with everything! Then i went with my friend saphirex310 and we rescued two little smelly, muddy, scared little pup's from this guy who was keeping them in diplorable conditions, they are both doing really well now, Rachael kept Sasha and i had Tikkanni.
