Breedia Dog Forum
Just a thought. We were at Paws In The Park in Kent at the weekend with our Siberian Husky Welfare stand. There were a great many NI's, Ute's etc...
I don't think the problem lies only with the "show" side. The key word throughout the breed standard of the Siberian Husky is "moderate" and,...
So what is the truth of the matter? Was the NI originally bred from what look like GSD crosses which came from the US (none of which look remotely...
........ and there lies the real problem. As has been said many times before on this and other fora, no reputable breeder of any of the "component"...
20-40% ???????????? Surely not! I would be extremely surprised if the figures for my breed exceeded 2-4%. Mick
Huskies that have come into a household where there are existing cats can sometimes co-exist comfortably. This is very much the exception that proves...
Ours love playing with balls. A tennis ball lasts approx 30 seconds before it is shredded and a football about five minutes while they work out how...
One of the reasons why Siberian Huskies (and other northern breeds and Livestock Guardian breds) are regarded as "difficult" to train/own/control...
I think there is much less of a split here in the UK than in the US for example. You do occasionally get extremes on either side of the divide. The...
Very true - Sibes are their own worst enemy in many ways. They look so cute as puppies and so beautiful as adults that they "sell" themselves. The...
Louise is right - northern breeds (and especially some of the sled dog breeds) tend to be very pack oriented and respond to firm leadership. If you...
What are Siberian Huskies like? The simple one word answer is WONDERFUL followed by a series of "buts"....... Sorry about the long reply...
I couldn't agree more! The problem is that when Joe Public decides he wants a puppy, he wants it NOW!!! and the badly bred dog he can pick up today...
Reabsorption is not something I have heard of in Sibes in 15 years in the breed. Not saying it doesn't happen, but if it does it's incredibly rare....
Out of interest, what is the mean/average hip score for NI's tested? It would be interesting to see whether thay are better or worse than the breeds...
Just out of interest, where would you look for this "new blood" and which breed(s) would you select for this addition to the gene pool. Where would...
There have been a couple of people on Siberian Husky forums who have been stung by this. One of them ended up paying over £1000 as the "breeder" of...
The thing about Alaskan Huskies is that they have been bred purely for race performance so looks and "type" are irrelevant. Some Alaskan Huskies look...
I wish people did that with ours. Unfortunately, they do the opposite and seem to take great satisfaction in letting their off-lead dogs run right...
I think if she has owned Sibes and Mals in the past she should at least have a fighting chance with an Eskimo Dog (LOL). I would be certainly a lot...
