My husband & I are blessed to have rescued Siberian Huskies for 30+ years. At one point we had 5 adults and 8 puppies because of a female that surprised us with a litter about a month after a month after we rescued her. We live on 10 acres of woods with an electronic fence and the dogs do absolutely GREAT on that fence …. they have room to run and chase all the various critters, but they can’t got far and always come back to the house to eat & sleep.
Huskies are amazing dogs and absolutely awesome with children. My husband & sons are deer hunters, so the Huskies have had “homemade” food made from ground venison scraps, ground chicken, frozen mixed vegetables and frozen potato hash browns. They have absolutely thrived on it.
But now that we’re in our 70’s and our children are grown with children of their own, we’re down to a single senior male, Alex, that will be our last “fur baby”. We just lost our 16-year-old female, Roxie, last April and since then, Alex, who is 14, has become quite the “Mama’s Boy”. He misses Roxie so very, very much.
So why am I telling you all this? Because I wanted to give potential AND current Husky owners a word of advice. Huskies are, by nature, pack animals. They do not truly thrive being in a single dog home. We learned that quickly from the very first one we rescued. We only had Kishka a month or so when we realized that she needed a playmate. From the moment we brought Reyco home, the change in Kishka was amazing. (BTW, they came to us named, we didn’t pick the names.)
BUT….. having Huskies in your home is an amazing experience. If you are thinking of getting a medium to large sized dog, I definitely recommend the Siberian Husky.

In reply to Jordan Carano. I also have a husky/german shepherd mix. She is 55 lb and a rescue. How do i tell if the husky side is Alaskan husky or Siberian Husky? The people that had her kept her outside with 2 other dogs. She was strictly an outside dog, sad to think here in the central texas heat of summer. When we took her we keep her inside and now she does not want to go outside at all hardly even in the December cooler weather.

In reply to Heather. I have a pure white female Siberian Husky with light blue eyes. I’ve thought about letting her have a litter.

I need help. I have a cream blue eyed husky golden retriever mix. She’s spade, chipped. Has all of her shots. I’m older and she is a year old. I just can’t take care of her like she needs. I want a good home for her where she can run.

My husky is an Alaskan and Siberian mix, she is not vocal and has never onced howled, is this normal? She is not mute because she does bark (rarley.) Her tail is also ways pinched up tighly, never loose unless she is running or sleeping. Even when she wags her tail it is pinched up, why?

I owned a Siberian female and now I have an Alaskan Husky female who was a sled dog prior to me owning her. My Alaskan does better off leash and knows where we are on the trail and likes to see us. The Alaskan obviously has better endurance. Both of these female huskies have the sweetest and most loving personalities to their people and love children and snuggling on the couch after they exercise. My Siberian (RIP) was more stubborn and more vocal. Just lovely, beautiful animals full of personality. I like the quirky dogs others find hard. Huskies are always entertaining!

I have 2 Siberians one boy Maverick 2.5yrs black and white w/brown eyes like my first one. His litter mates were like him, blue eyes or other, and every AKC color. I have a girl i just got that is 4 months as of today and she’s red/brown/copper whatever people might think but her coat might change lighter or darker and she has pretty blue eyes on purpose. I love ones with masks so mine both have beautiful makings. I give them at least 5hrs or more a day and give my girl Maya rest because of her age.

I love these dogs, I love this breed…I want to breed these dogs because I want to see more of them near me. My pups enjoy all other people and dogs, my boy used to live with cats and never harmed them. Since my boy isn’t fixed he’s been attacked by other dogs but he’s shaken off every attack and fought off each dog.

My girl is far more vocal than my boy, she’s very protective of me and potty training took just a few days, her recall is better as opposed to his. Don’t be afraid of the breed but also don’t take on one of these dogs if YOU’RE not an alpha, besides walking behind this ears and tails I love watching them trot or run.

I stop to pet one every time I see one…be that person who can’t live without the thought of Siberian, an Alaskan, a Malamute, a Shiba Inu, an Akita, a Klee Kai or an F1 Pomski because like any other breeds…you can find out ALL the information you need to know!

In reply to Devyn Freeson. We have a rescue Husky. There’s a good chance She’s a Shepsky. German shepherd husky mix. They’re very commonly breeding for size. We narrowed it down by looking at photos online. Their very expensive and a lucrative market. Very very intelligent and oh yeah very muscular and powerful.
