Owning A Siberian Husky : Breeder Recommendations

A Siberian Husky can be an excellent choice for a family pet, because it is an intelligent and very loving dog that wants to be around people. In fact, the Husky has become one of the most popular breeds for family pets.

However, the Siberian Husky may not be the right dog for everybody. Even with their gentle temperament, the Husky can be a challenge to train. This breed seems to need a reason for activity that it is required to learn, so patience is necessary with a young Husky.

 

Things to Know Before Getting A Siberian Husky

Of course, with reputable breeder, you will be sure to have puppies whose backgrounds are known and this can help eliminate some of the health problems and conditions that can come up with any pure bred dog.

With the right start in the hands of a good breeder, young dogs go out into the world well-socialized and comfortable around humans and other dogs. This is a key to getting a good start with your new pet.

Choosing any purebred dog is a task that you should approach with plenty of information in hand. Read as much good information as you can find about the breed and its care. We recommend that you visit with a minimum of three reputable breeders, to see how they handle young dogs and to see both parents of the puppy you choose, if possible.

Good breeders will have a solid knowledge of the breed and its unique requirements. Be prepared with questions that will clear up any doubts you may have and get information that will prepare you for enjoying the new addition to your family.

The Siberian Husky may have a range of colors, including sable and white, black and white, red and white, all white, etc.

This is a medium-sized breed, a sturdy and compact dog that is part of a working breed. The best homes for them will have room to run outside, in a fenced yard. You should be prepared to give them time for exercise because Siberian Huskies love to run

Always be prepared to handle some health problems with a new dog, though many owners have experienced little trouble with major health conditions in the Husky. Some larger dogs can suffer from bloat, which can be caused by gulping large amounts of food only once a day and from consuming larger amounts of water.

 

 

Keep in mind, this is rarely a problem with the Siberian Husky. Some owners have tagged this breed as a “thrifty” eater because the Husky generally does not require as much food as a new owner might think.

Most large dogs do not live extremely long lives, but this medium-sized breed can enjoy 12 to 15 years of healthy life. There are some things to look for in your puppy and to watch for as your Husky grows.

The young dog should be energetic, bright, and interested in activity that includes people. Huskies are not usually good guard dogs or watch dogs, as they are very friendly and welcoming, sometimes even to strangers.

A grown Husky will stand about 21 inches to 23 inches high and males will weigh from 45 to 60 pounds. Females will be about 10 pounds less. It might be wise to get a clearance certificate from a veterinarian before you accept the puppy, and many top breeders may already have this in place.

Taking a little extra time at the beginning to ensure the health of your new pet can make owning you Siberian Husky an enjoyable, long-term experience.
