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.

Thought it would be cool to get an age demographic of members pups. Mine are all rescues so ages can be approximate.


Next to last choice should be 11 to 13.

I looked for that option and didn't see one. Maybe a poll guru can help.

I seem to think that I voted twice, just clicked the 2 different age boxes. Usually if you can't it says,error needs correction, or something like that.

But if you have 2 dogs of the same age you only get to record one vote in that age group. I'm a poll creation newbie...

Wow, it kind of surprises me that almost all of them are young. Where are all the older huskys? I hope not shelters Sad Do they have short life expectancies?

I don't think in shelters, I think a lot of people stumbled upon this site after being first time husky owners.

Actually due to their lower metabolism rates and lack of serious generic related health issues they tend to live longer than a lot of dogs their size, 12 to 15 years is common.

Well I voted, but since I can only vote once for 2 dogs the same age....

Demon and Dakota are a bit more than 3.5 years old (January 7, 2009). It's hard to believe it's been that long!

We should do a poll on why people joined the forum. My guess to why there isn't many Seniors on the forum is because people join to get answers to training questions or food advice for this sensitive breed. A senior is an ANGEL so no need for training advice and if you don't have the food figured out by then, well....

Zoe is 8, will turn 9 on New Year's day. Tasha is 8 too, but since she's adopted, we don't know her exact birthday. Storm is estimated to be around 18 months.

I've had Zoe since she was 3 months old. I joined the forum because we adopted Tasha and she and Zoe don't get along. I was looking for training advice to get them to accept each other.

Sounds plausible but wasn't true in my case. I joined when my first husky, Mikko was 6 or 7. I did it for my interest in the breed, shared experiences and possibly meeting other owners in my area. The advice and knowledge I found here as well as the community feel kept me around.

Greetings! This is my first post here. So here it goes...
Cyrus was one month short of 17 years old when we had to put him to sleep due to spinal stenosis (a condition where his back legs became so weak that he could not get up). He was otherwise extremely healthy. Leumi, our little Princess, will be 14 years old this December. We just got another pup who is 12 weeks old.

My tiny girl Sandy was 17 and a couple months when we had to put her to sleep. She had suffered from dementia for years and was mostly deaf but the final straw was also just a general weakness. She could no longer go up or down the steps and it was taking her longer and longer to even stand up from lying down. Sad

She was SO healthy for most of her life! She was my heart dog....
