Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So we're thinking about adding a second husky puppy to our family. Kylah would be almost a year by the time we brought it home.
Id like any feedback you can give on whether this is a good idea or not.
Also, how do you go about crating and such? Kylah currently uses her crate to sleep at night and while were at work. Would we need a separate crate for the puppy and should the crate be in a place separate from kylahs crate?
What about potty training? Do you take them out together or separately?
Like I said, any input you can give would be great. I want add a second husky to our home, but most importantly, I want it to be the right thing for kylah. Im afraid she will feel like she's being ignored or less important if we bring in a puppy.

You will want a separate crate for the new puppy and I would place it next to, or at least in the same room as Kylah's. For potty training, I would take them out separately. The puppy will have to go out way more often than Kylah, and you'll want to be able to properly reward the pup when he/she goes outside and Kylah will think that if the pup gets a treat, she should too. In terms of her feeling ignored, just make sure to give her lots of individual attention. I would dedicate some time every day where you walk her and train with her, so she doesn't feel left out. Also, I would suggest finding a reputable breeder if you know you want a puppy for sure. A reputable breeder not only health tests and certifies the parents, but will also help you pick a puppy based on your lifestyle and Kylah's personality. Smile
