eerrr... not sure if "generally" can be generically used here.. afterall, our 2 little buggers dislike having a bath (but they love to swim thou )

siberian huskies that we knew of, have furs/body that have very little bad odor. some owners who keep their huskies indoor can go up to a month before requiring a bath..

however if you're going to give them a bath, the headache is not the bath but the blow drying part
during their shedding period, blow drying them can be super

we put our huskies on a 1x meal daily when they reached ~12mth old.. (what food did you feed yours?)

ohh.. huskies do bark my white one doesn't know how to howl properly whereas my sable one still gives a very comical growl/howl combo..

Mine has to take a bath after a week. Likes to dig holes in the ground, run around and get dirty. Especially into my dad's workstation (a lot of mud and water.)

I don't blow dry my Husky because after his bath, we'll dry him partially with a towel (special one for him) then put him in the cage or he'll get dirty again.

I feed my husky with homecook dog food. Usually rice + chicken.

My husky hasn't barked for a long time, only howling in the morning when the mosques start praying loudly (all my dogs will howl. dunno why )

Can someone refer me to a breeder for a white husky?? Thank you so much!!

bro, can ask ur horren fren to get tis.. same awsm effect

oomaii.. our sibes are 21.2kg riao.. tot of fattening up the male ones xia.. next target is to get it to 25kg?

Some required information from the experience owners

Reading the thread gave me some inside information on the temperament,characteristic, do and donts of the husky. thank you

What is the cost like to start of with a husky( I know they range between 1800 and above)? Assuming to start off from pup...from food to all necessary accessories..

What is the cost like to maintain the husky(montly)? food, vet, grooming and etc

How often do we required to bring the husky for a check up ( other then when they are not ill ) and what is the rough estimation cost of each visit?

Grooming, what is the duration like to send for professional grooming? for a complete clean up than the usual weekly bath at home?every 3 months?

One thing i learn from the previous thread is, husky will need to be on the leash when you bring them out, can i bring them to a field and play fetch(off the leash) or that is a no?Also since they are smart, can we discipline them to not cross the gate or command such as STAY,HEEL, and etc?

The husky goes tru 2 heavy shedding, what months are those and how long is the duration usually?

thank you and sry if i ask anything wrong...I just do not want to commit to something without knowing if i could afford it and give it life it needs..needs to be absolutely sure....

I'll answer this one.

Unless you're in a fenced field, it is extremely risky to let a husky off leash. They're roamers by nature, and will run off when you least expect it. It's not worth the risk. As for teaching them not to cross a gate, look at it this way - a husky will try to escape from a enclosed yard. An open gate? That's just asking for it.

1st off thanks for explaining ... yes i get the fact that you cant just throw a figure and tell the cost..it does vary on different factors....and i would have to agree with you...







Points noted!



haha....if its risking it then better dont...so which means you dont play fetch(unless its just within an enclosed area) la..used to enjoy throwing the tennis ball as far as i could ( its a huge field ) with the retriever...




Mind sharing how much you spend monthly for your huskies?

Actually, it really depend on how well you know about the breed.
For me, I only spend around Rm250 per one month and half for one Siberian Husky. The more I have, the cheaper it goes for the maintenance fee per dog apart from the time you need.

Owh...alright thanks...
