yup.. 7 weeks and the ears are quite far apart.. a malamute more like it.

I read some book advice on jumping dog

they just excited seeing owner and wanna play. That y they jump. If u wanna stop it. U dont eye contact with him and turn around. Dont facing him and ignore him. Slowly he will realize his act is wrong and stop jumping.

Somehow true. My husky was like that a couple of years ago. At first it was cute, until he grew larger and nails got sharper. Tried to discipline him but wouldn't behave. So I tried the "ignoring" method and he just followed me around instead of jumping on me. Not a permanent solution but at least I saved some shirts from being torn

Here's my Husky

... adding weight now

hi, is there anyone who's breeding good pure breed big bone huskies? I'm looking for a good breed and am willing to pay.. Hope to receive a positive feedback.. Thanks so much. Its so hard to find huskies in pet shops..

Hi all, not sure whether this has been answered before in the forums. So apologies in advance if it has been answered. I'm planning to get a husky but I'm worried as people have told me that they require aircon all the time. As there isn't people around during the day it would be odd for me to keep the aircon on all the time. A quick google search seems to end up with mix results so I wanted to get the advice of ppl here in lowyat. Thanks

Well, the answer will be depend on the environment you lived in. If your house is quite comfy, no much air movement, then for sure, air cond is needed especially during the day.

Else, the dog pretty much will not need a aircond when living indoor.

If you are worried, try to measure the temperature of the spot you intent to keep her at. Anything higher than 30 should be a sign telling you your place is not suitable

Many thanks Yuen.

Unfortunately, I live in the condo so with the windows all shut during the day, it does get a little stuffy during the day though i doubt it reaches 30 degrees. Anyone who keeps their husky in a condo without aircon? May need to rethink my strategy or look for a different species.

If you are living in the condo, I will advise you to search for other breed if you really cannot have a lots time to be with them daily or search for Siberian Husky which is older in age where they are no longer so active.

Not having air cond is fine, but do you have fan around there? And will the sunlight shine on to ur keeping place?

Has anyone breed a female husky to a malamute?
My cousin is looking for a male malamute stud to beef up his husky stock. Pedigree is not important to him as he wanted create a hybrid.

Hey folks!

i have a husky (brown), would like to ask anyone of u encountering demodex mange before? I heard it is damn extremely hard to get rid off!

ah yeah its true, after several months without any itchiness. Guess what?! Recently there are some signs of its returns! Could it be the food? Just 2 weeks ago i just change to eukanuba chicken, previous food was nutri edge salmon and for several months my dog is free of mites.

Anyone who have experience pls help me... I have already spend a lot on vets/meds/etc. Still the medication is only temporary i believe. I will try to change the food first and see the effect. Anyone~~??

it could be other reason too, e.g fungal infection.. you have a picture of your husky infected area?
what sort of meds have you given your husky in the past? .. care to elaborate?

The infected area are those with reddish colour and hair lost area, i know its coming back d
the med given by doc i forgotten what is the name d, might need to go back and find the bottle
but those are antibiotic and some vitamins to boost the immune system.

Not sure if any of u encounter this before. its sad to see my husky so sad because of itchiness

Firstly, most of the Malamute in Malaysia are those with long coat and many of them are coming from China where they are carried with some hip porblems.

And please ask your cousin to stop the non-sense of bulking up his husky stock. You want big, just go get a big dog. Don't cross breed. Just imagine, how can a Husky support himself if he get the Malamute body size but Husky leg size. This is just purely creating problems for more abandoned issues of sick pups later on.

your intention seems noble.. however your understanding of cross breeding is a bit inaccurate.. mix/cross breeding is actually healthy for the animal concerned, it expands it's gene/DNA pools.. however, doing so will degrade it's commercial value from a pedigree point of view..

the husky mix malamute is a known sub-breed; alusky.. unfortunately some breeders/sellers would like to add those "wooly husky, triple coat husky, super big bone husky, etc" by subtly cross-breeding husky and malamutes and tries to sell them at a premium..

Well, cross breeding is always healthier than pure breed is a misconception. Just google it up, there are a lots of facts that support it.
If the two different breed, both parents consists a bad gene, the gene will pass down to the puppies. Breeding the two different breed will not make the bad gene auto disappear.

Not saying you cannot do so, but if your cousin wanted to do so, make sure he is prepare for all the negatives come with it.

a bad gene can happen in any animal.. cross breeding allows diversification of the gene pools..
do you understand what a gene pool is? and what a restrictive gene pool within the pure breed pedigree of an animal such as a dog is?

... now care to show some of your google's results on your side?
