Is a Siberian Husky a good choice for me?

Big Dog | November 5th, 2010

If you would like to have an affectionate, friendly, and strong dog that is eager to work with you even in the coldest weather, then the Siberian Husky is the best breed for you. These dogs are alert and eager to please their master. They show no fear of strangers, therefore they can become good watchdogs or guardian dogs. They like other dogs around them, especially other Huskies. On the other hand, they usually do not get on well with other non-canine pets in the family, as their predatory instinct makes them dangerous for smaller animals. The Siberian Husky gets on extremely well with children, even with smaller ones. These dogs do their best on a large, fenced yard and they require daily walking or jogging. They are not recommended for apartment living.

The coat of this dog is a medium, dense and coarse double coat that requires daily brushing as this breed is a constant shedder. They are prone to health issues like hip dysplasia, skin allergies and cataracts.

Training the Siberian Husky is easy, as this dog is very clever, but they have a mind on their own so the trainer must always be consistent, firm and patient. They may be difficult to housebreak, therefore they require early socialization and obedience training.

All in all, the Siberian Husky is the perfect dog for families living in colder climates in a large house with a yard.

I hope this few sentences will help you decide whether the Siberian Husky is the best breed for you and for your family.

How to avoid my Siberian Husky being jealous of my new born baby?

Big Dog | June 21st, 2010

Is it normal, anyway?!

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Husky. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English :)

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Siberian Husky for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Siberian Husky hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Husky used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Siberian Husky will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Siberian Husky feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Siberian Husky as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem. You could also try Preparing Fido, which is an amazing collection of Baby sounds designed especially to get your dog ready for the arrival of the new Baby!

Have you heard of the Siberian “Houdini” Huskies?

Big Dog | January 25th, 2010

Let’s say you would want a Siberian Husky as a pet. Good. They are a very handsome looking breed with that wolf-like appearance. Now let’s say you’d like to take them to the park and play Frisbee or even a game of fetch. Maybe not a very good idea, as much as you may want to do so, there is big possibility that your Husky will just run and not come back. Many owners have lost their Huskies due to their high energy and their need to wander and explore. So it wouldn’t be a good idea to give them something to run after for you may end up running after them.

If you keep them in a yard, it should be fenced to at least six feet in height for they are powerful jumpers. They may also try to climb out so maybe a roof might be in order. If they can’t go over, they will definitely try and dig under so it’s best to have it planted into concrete. If over and under way escape fails, then the Husky will try to go through it by finding cracks and pushing hard until it gives way. Even having invisible fences may not be as effective for they are smart and will run pass the perimeter quickly and their thick fur actually gives them protection. So if you want to have a Siberian Husky, its best to find out the best way to keep him inside safely.
