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.
Subject: Advice on keeping siblings Mon Sep 22, 2014 10:11 am
Hi there, My two husky parents had a litter of six beautiful pups (3g 3b). They are now five weeks old and I am seriously considering keeping all of them. I cannot for the life of me choose one over the other as all are stunning. I have heard from a breeder of a different breed that it is unwise to keep siblings as friction can develop later in life. What do you guys think I should do? All advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanx

You need to look up littermate syndrome. A number of behaviorial problems can occur when keeping littermates (even not from the same litter if less than 6 months apart) which does not including the normal difficulties of training that many puppies.
