Hi I'm new here - just got a 3 month old husky not long ago - she's really smart and cute but a bit trying tho. she lives in the hse with us - toilet training is killing us!!

Also she seems to itch all the time - no skin patches yet but I'm quite worried - anyone know if this is normal? I gave her tick and flea med that you put on the dogs' shoulder blades but this doesn't seem to be like fleas... I'm really stumped. help will be nice

ermm maybe cause u juz got her back and she didn't bath yet? normally when you get them, they're not bath at the young age...anyway where did you get it from??

yeah toilet training will kill you lolz but its okay

where she scratch normally??

anyway snowy where are you from and can you post your husky photo?

It could be mange as well, I recommend the vet Healing Pets in Damansara Jaya, behind Public Bank. My Husky used to have the very same problem, but it's now sorted.

Will you guys be going to the dog event thingy on the 24/9/06 at Bandar Utama? PM me for my MSN.

i'm trying to make some time to go, how bout u??

hey,guys..
i know this is kind of late and last minute,but i'll be going to see a few Huskies tomorrow,and am wondering,what should i be wary off?

what should i look for,and what should i avoid?
any subtle things?

maybe coat markings?

thx

now where are you seeing them? breeder or shop??

which breeder??

okay what you need to know is what is your husky for? pet? or show dog?

if pet normally dont need cert cause more expensive

but make sure u see the sire and dam

make sure they're in good condition

dont bring back a sick baby
make sure the puppy is very healty and active

coat markings all sure need to see lo...dont get a not pure breed for a pure breed price

anyway i'm aware that there's a bunch of husky with mange problem...please check from which breeder those ppl who got their husky with mange problem, it could be from the same breeder....

shop abit too expensive
going to a breeder's place

his name is jeffrey(not sure of last name)
saw his ad in thestar yesterday

it's more as a pet,but wouldnt mind getting a show quality husky

they are pedigrees with certs,priced from rm1800-2300,which is cheap,considering shops sell them at rm3k!

the breeder said depending on the markings,different price...how do they judge the markings,anyone know?

lolz, i see, where is he from?? anyway you juz need to jaga jaga abit with the health condition of the puppy lo...but let me tell you something lo...the markings for now is not so important cause they shed once or twice a year which is very very terrible shedding....therefore the coat and markings will change sometimes a little but sometimes very very big difference...like mine, when i got her back, she was a different coat and markings....now its different only after 1 time shedding....so dont get bull shit by them....anyway i''ll be honest with you lo....cert doesn't mean high quality dog, if its breed by someone irresponsible, then they might be in bad condition.... and also normally price = quality....like where i buy my husky, they wont even drop their price by a single cents, and they will proudly tell you, if you wanna compare my dog with the 2k+ dog then you go get from them....cause they're husky is very well known and he's so far the only breeder who wins with husky (for show dog, even though previously there was another husky show dog by another breeder) and you can see, that their dog is really really nice

anyway if you want i can give you their contact and maybe you can contact them to see if they have any litter or if you want you can follow me to see then i can try nego abit cause i'm quite familiar with them adi

bought her yesterday,at Klang so far....

anyway,a picture of her:


her name's Maya...

one thing,though...at night she's very noisy..
last night woke up twice to calm her down..

how do you guys keep your huskies?
i had to keep her in my toilet,cos my cats roam around the house...dont want any accidents

hi Mgsrulz

welcome to the club.

My advice, huskies are pack dogs, they dun like to be lonely so never keep her in the toilet where they just see the four walls. Not a good idea and when they are upset, they can be very descructive....so bear in mind, dun get angry and start whacking them.

If you have cats at home, introduce them slowly. Adult cat or kitten? if kitten, they can grow up together and they will be okie with each other. if you have an adult can, better not la....sure fight and try to introduce them slowly la.....do u have a cage? if not try to invest one....or borrow from ur frend......they grow very fast and the next thing u know, the cage is too small oledi.....

btw, my husky stay indor, and already toilet trained, he wont poo at home and will wait till we take him out for his walk.....if he is at home, he will pee int he toilet only unless he is throwing his tantrums.....to tell u that he is not happy....

husky are working dog and they need a lot if exercise...if not, they can be very descrutive and noisy.....so be in mind.....

good abt husky is that they dun smell.....and keep them dry and if they are wet, they tend to get skin problem.....rmember, they are double coated...so when they shed, ur hse is full of fur...remember FULL of furs.....

dun socialise ur dig befor he gets his 3rd vaccination / jab.....

u can call me if u need any info, 013-3338777 (Lau)

have fun with ur new family member....maya is a good name, the lead dog in the "8 Below".......movie

cheers

thank you

not a problem with me...
used to seeing my stuff get destroyed...

i already have a monster in my room all my posters have been torned,my tv is full of fur,and my mosquito netting is probably the next to go

and about whacking her,i dont whack my pets
unless they are being naughty(ie fighting) i will just nudge them,not whack

i got 34 cats,adults mostly,but some are still in their "teens"

most of them are alright with her already
only some are still abit scared of her..(they arent very hostile,cos just a month ago,my mother bought a cavalier,and so they're more or less used to new company)

i have a few...but all for the cats.
i dont feel like putting her in a cage,cos even at 2 months,she is as big as my 6 month old cavalier!

how did you train him?
i dont have a clean access to the toilet(unless in rooms or outside the kitchen) so i need some other alternative..(still not sure at the moment )

btw,how old is your husky?

i took Maya out for a short walk just now...(called my pet's vet,he said to stay clear of any dirt/other dogs and if possible stay on pavements,which i did...tough work )
she walked and ran for a few minutes(not sure how long) and i had to carry her back home still young,easily tired..
cant wait till she's older,can go exercising everyday


i have a problem with that.
Maya seems to love putting her paw in the water bowl,and splashing water all over the place.
is this common?
what could it mean?she is hot?

quite used to that

finally someone who doesnt think she's named after maya karin

Why'd you black out the background? You didn't buy it from a poacher did you, with all the heads and feet of animals in the background?!

How about putting up more pictures of your puppy, which I'm sure you've taken lots of pics. I did

my mother's in the background
i dont think she'd appreciate her face being pasted online
and the rest is insignificant...want to show Maya,not my house

sure..



final picture is me holding Maya

*sorry for the late reply,went to feed her and Trixie..

thats cute, welcome to the club ^^ anyway i almost name my pup maya haha but lucky didn't la ^^ keep her in toilet ar...not good lo...but if no choice then T_T but anyway keeping her in toilet will normally make her wet la...better not.....

husky normally like to play with water...all the huskies i've seen will either overturn the bowl or will step inside and splash splash... lolz

i've now opened the door(toilet to my room) and placed a pillow and a few tshirts there for her to sleep on...

whole night i will be hearing my roommate cat growling...

well,she's stopped for the time being...(placed some boxes to block her view.hehe )

and about the water....guess i'll have to get her a towel... cos she's always wet

What a cute puppy. Makes me want to get one too!!!


RB

haha well, its up to you lo... we could only suggest

What a lovely Husky you have there, you'll love her when she grows big and grand!

Incidentally, does anyone have problem with their dogs hind legs? Mine's like in a 'V' shape Apparently it's due to the fact that it's a house dog and the floor's slippery for them to grip.
