I would be most happy to help anyone out there who has this special breed of dog. With tips on breeding,training both obedience and racing,grooming,diet,behaviour and nutrition. Anything to help get the most out of this often difficult breed of dog.

Experience
I have owned Sibes now for 11 years. I have had as many as 4, which I used to race in competition in both short sprint and distance events in South Australia. I have bred huskies, and have a huge interest in this breed and the life style which goes with them. They are such an addiction that after years of owning this breed I suddenly faced a new challenge. I have recently relocated to Lancaster Kentucky U.S.A. So now my 3 guys, Kuul, Devil, and Bear have traveled half way around the world from sunny Australia by jet, to join me here in a better suited climate. They love the winters and the snow. Yes I can say I have indeed done just about every thing one can with, and for these special guys. See my boys on my web page. snodogz.eongraphics.com

Husky (Huskies) - Dog house training


Expert: Faye.M.Campbell - 11/12/2003

Question
I have a one and a half year old male husky. We brought him to our house when he was 6 months, since that day he never likes stay inside the dog house for nothing, he don't like sleep or be shelter when is raining. Instead, he prefers sleep outside and get soaked wet every time its raining.

How can I training him for use the dog house? I tried put some snacks inside the dog house but he just go and eat it and go out flying again. Also, I would like you tell me if it true that the huskies are vicious dogs like somebody tell me one time.

Thank you, Nitza


Answer
Dear Nitza,
Your husky is just like all the huskies I have ever had. So dont worry this is perfectly normal behaviour. I even spent $1000 on some nice new kennels and like you I encouraged them with treats to sleep inside of them. But it seemed, just like your dog, they prefered to sleep outside getting covered in ice and water. After all this is where they are perfectly at home curled up in the snow in thier homeland in Siberia. Trust me they might look wet on thier top coat, but inside they will be dry and as warm as toast. Huskies are no fools and will seek shelter if they do get too uncomfortable.
As to the statement about huskies being vicious that could not be further from the truth. In the Eskimo villages where they originated any husky who showed aggression was immediately culled. These pups were the playthings of the children so viciousness was not tolerated. As a consequence of this, this breed has attained a very human friendly nature. After all these guys have to work with people in some very extreme conditions, so friendliness is a must.
I hope this has helped you understand your dog better.
Faye And Kuul
