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.

Howdy,

Welcome to our little corner of the interwebs.


So you're thinking of Getting a Husky and want to know more about the breed or what to expect?

Maybe you are thinking of becoming a breeder?

Maybe you want some general ideas of what to feed your new addition?

Or maybe you are starting at square one and are just trying to find a breeder or rescue?


Well you should hopefully be able to find most of this information right here from this handy dandy thread. Here you will find a bunch of information we've discussed on over the years and threads we deemed very helpful in either acquiring, providing for, and training your new Husky.

If you can't find what you are looking for here then our community will more than likely be very happy to help with what ever questions you have Wink

Again thanks for stopping by and have fun researching.

Breeding

We get questions from time to time from people thinking of breeding their pups. It is a very big and important decision one must make before they go through with it, once which effects the owner as much as it does the dog in labor.

We ask, and Hope, everyone wishing to get into breeding takes the time to REALLY and TRULY consider this decision to it's full extend, and do as much research as possible before they dive in.

To that end, here are some threads that may help shed some light on breeding.


So you're Thinking About Breeding?

So you want to be a Breeder?

Training and Behavior

Training a puppy is never easy, even for those of us with a lot of experience. There is always some new challenge to over come and something new to learn. There are no over night fixes, easy solutions, or short cuts for the most part.

For a well behaved and trained pup you need patience, commitment, and time.

You should find some common training issues a lot of people have and possible solutions for them below Smile.

Every Month a new theme is selected by the community. We then all add pictures and vote for which picture encapsulates the spirit of the theme best.
