Regal is economical? I didnt know that as I didnt really look into the pricing of it since it was a new name (unfamiliar to me). I will check it out based on your recommendations. What other options would you suggest for someone who has 3 westie, 1 husky and 1 silky terrier?

Yea, husky are pretty nice and mine is gray and white too. I didnt bought it from PEts Wonderland though but chances are someone probably bought the husky you said and it's living happily somewhere.

Breed means getting puppies. Did you mean that or did you mean you want to keep a husky as pets? If keeping them as pets, then maybe I can answer your answer.

1. Yes, it can live outdoor but husky are wolf descendent and like their ancestor, they behave like wolves which prefer to live in pack. Although it doesnt hurt to keep them outdoor like I do but there is always a risk of it being stolen. Nico, my husky live near the side door of my house and that is where my grandma sit to rest on her lazy chair in the afternoon and maid iron the clothes when she works so despite outdoor, she is close to us being around her.

2. Some husky does have skin disease due to the weather and food.

3. Husky howls when alone and bored and this is bothersome. Howls in the night is bothersome and may be offensive to the muslim community near you.

You can drop by my house to see my handsome husky then.

I believe you are saying keeping/rearing a husky, since breeding (delivering puppiesssssss) is much complicated issue and should come after you really know the breed well. To answer your ques:

1. Yes, husky can STAY outdoor especially for those born locally. If you import one from cold weather country, then it is another story.
2. Yes, husky tend to get skin disease due to their thick coat. If you are not drying them up properly after bath or maybe they get wet during rain, chances of getting skin disease is higher.
3. Husky howls, and they can learn to barks. You might want to consider whether your neighbours are open minded ones or would they against your idea of rearing a dog.

Regal is somewhere Blackwood pricing. Well, I have a husky, a mongrel, a chihuahua, 5 malteses, all on Regal. I bet we have similar "family tree" Anyway, I get to know better about Regal after I met up with the distributor, so feel free to do research on as many brands as you want.

how much do u guys spend for a month or year to breed a husky??mind to share???

Breed or take it as a pet? Dont mistaken both of them. Anyway, since ur asking such Q, breeding is not for u cos u certainly dont know the breed well enough. We dont wanna encourage irresponsible breeders.

If u take it as a pet, it ranges on how good u wanna treat them. It can be from 50 to a few hundreds. That doest included the expenses when they got sick or infections.

hi everyone....here's come my husky named Ice Man.
he is a very notty boy, coz he really can create an earthquake scene in my house for a accidently off leash at nite....
but so far he is still in control and quite obedient.

Added on February 1, 2010, 11:32 pmand i got a question here....
4 months old husky can howl properly?
coz my ice man seems to bark a lot......i m not sure it is a bark or a uncomplete howl?

Well, husky howls but they do able to learn barking from other dogs, at least my Kenzo does it. You are saying accidentally off leash, so normally your husky is not allowed to roam free?

oppss..i might mistake on tat....should be take as pet...what about those vaccine and dewormed??how much do they cost and how many times should a husky be vaccine n dewormed??? 1 month 1 times or 1 year 1 times ??

Normally, vet would recommends 3 vaccinations on 2nd, 3rd and 4th months old, then yearly booster. Vaccination cost less than RM100, deworming around RM5.

then can a 4 months old husky howls? coz i never heard him howls b4 though he is just with me for a week.
ya....for the first 3 days i dun dare to let him roam free, coz he can sneak thru my house main door n go outside.
but today i just cover up the main door dy, so he is able to roam free from now on...

Good to know he is roaming free now =) Cause if he is contraint all time, he will keep too much of energy inside and will get crazy once let free. Husky need loads of exercise.

Yup, my husky can howls since puppy. But it is not strange if your husky doesnt make noise. I do hope my dogs dont make noise.

when me or my bf always back from work...my girl howl and bark for at least 5mins...she is too excited to see me and my bf

love it...stress are gone when see lick me non-stop... ^^

My Kenzo will howls when the old news paper lorry passby with the sound. Then my Maya (A mongrel) learnt and howl together.

is not that he dun make noise, just he dun howls and keeping barking.
scare if he will lost husky instinc of howling....

No worries la, the last thing you know your husky might start howling one day and that time you will hope he never learns.

Nico is very quiet on regular days. She never bark at strangers but howl when she is bored or when it's meal time so we will never miss a meal. If by 9am still no food, there she goes. If by 8pm still no food, again!

haha...my boy do the same in the morning when i sleep late, he will keep barking until the food is in front of him.....

I have a male Sib Husky.. he is arnd 1.5 years old now..
problem with him is... he is LAZY... i mean.. sib are supposed to LOVE to run, right? yet, when i bring him out for run, he just run around 1 minute, then he lazy to run already.. i must actually command him to run, after 5 minutes, sometimes he will totally refuse to run, walking at his own sweet pace..
Also, he is relatively obedient but because i hv another older dog (which i didn't train, because i was inexperience at that time) which is disobedient (tried training him, but till now no success yet), he tends to be stubborn too. for example, when i ask him to sit, he will go "bite" my older dog (my older dog is a small dog, american eskimo dog). only after a few times of calling, he will obey me. sometimes, i hv to be a little more harsh, only he will obey. often, when he doesn't want to do what i ask him to do, he will "bully" my another dog =.="
And, as mentioned, he is lazy, when he lie down, he won't get up, won't obey me... (unless got food.. lol.. he is a greedy dog)
so, is there any way to cure his laziness, and also, i fear he will become disobedient because of the behavior of my another dog, yet i don't have time to train him anymore, as they are in my hometown while i am in kl, and the other dog, kinda too late to train already, doesn't really respect me..

it's never too late...just you need to give them some time to understand those command and what they should do...patient...but you mention you are working in KL and thy are not always with you so a bit hard...

may i ask if your husky neutered?...normally dogs who are spayed or neutered are tend to be more lazy...haha

but first time i heard of a husky who run for only 1 min?...my girl would not stop if i did not stop her from running...hahahahaha
