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.

Hi all.
New to the site and newly owned by my two Siberian Huskies, Dakota and Nola. They are 11 weeks and 4 days old and absolutely precious. Very happy to have them as an addition to my family.

Welcome! And best of luck with your two new additions! They'll be handful but they'll be worth it.

We've had them for about a week and a half. We are learning as are they. Definitely a handful but worth it! Their disposition is just fantastic and the only challenge thus far is their curiosity. Puppy proofing for Huskies is much more intense than any other breed, they are so smart. LOL

I'm not sure if it's possibly to be 100% puppy proofed with huskies. Please share pictures if you can! We love them here.

If you go to the buttons above the reply box, it's the 6th one in. It says host an image. You can upload from your computer or use a link to the picture. And the 3rd line has a drop down. You want to select the "640px" one. You just copy the code and paste!

Why is it a bad thing for them to get attached to one another?

http://alexadry.hubpages.com/hub/Pros-and-Cons-of-Raising-Two-Litter-Mate-Dogs

That's the link to the discussion about it here. There might be more lurking around but that's the one I read through when I was thinking about what it'd be like to raise two puppies together.

A quick summary would be that they bond too closely and don't form their own personalities. Then you've got two dogs who physically can't be separated because they don't know what to do without the other half. So if one is sick and has to go to the vet but the other stays home, both dogs are going to have negative reactions to being separated. They can also teach each other bad habits. It's better to train them separately and give them each individual play time with you as well as let them play together. You don't have to isolate them, you just have to give individual time as well.

Oh, okay. I follow that reasoning. They have very distinct personalities thus far but we have already seen them influence one another. We have already started working with each separately on basic commands and do play with them individually as well as together.
