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.

Advice on a second husky Empty
PostSubject: Advice on a second husky   Advice on a second husky EmptyWed Mar 13, 2013 9:00 pm

I currently have a 21 month old neutered Siberian Husky male and I am considering getting another. I have the opportunity to get male Siberian Husky puppy. I have a couple questions. Is now a good time to introduce a puppy to my current husky now that he is nearly 2 years old? Would two neutered males get along in the long run? What can I expect as far as jealousy from my current dog? Any tips on introducing a puppy? He has been an only dog the entire time I have had him. I have had a husky pair (male/female) in the past so I'm aware of the additional work. However, they were both rescued adults. This will be my first adult/puppy and male/male pairing? I'm open to any advice.

It all depends on your dogs personalities, but I've never had a problem introducing an adult to a puppy, especially huskies as they tend to love other dogs (if socialized properly at a young age, of course). Never had a problem with two boys either, in fact I prefer males and we usually only have one or two females in our pack at any one time, the rest are always males. Smile

Jealousy is possible of course, I'd just suggest always giving the current dog the attention first, even giving him more than normal once the pup comes, so he knows he's higher in hierarchy than the new guy.

Hope this helps, I'm sure others will chime in too Smile Congratz on getting another if you do! No other dog plays with a husky like another husky, in my experience!
