It has been some 8 months of research and we are finally getting our Husky puppy!

I received 5 week old photos from the breeder today! We are calling him Ronin which means masterless samurai and should relate to the free spirit of a husky. My daughter thinks Ro-Ro sounds cute (also sounds like barking) so we might see some alternate versions being used LOL Full registered name will be Articpower Grey Ghost - Ronin.

Oh my god he's very cute!

Congratulations on the puppy!

Hi Yonjuro,

Ronin is a great name for a husky!

Hope he's growing up well

Thanks he will be here on Thursday - I am very excited!

LOL! in the first picture he looks like the gopher from caddyshack! An adorable addition to house, I hope you have many wonderful years!

Hahaha, thanks Hughie. Only one more sleep to go and he will be home.

Hey I am getting a puppy tomorrow too! I guess 1/2/14 is just a good day to get a puppy.

You too! I have to travel a lot to get him so it might be Friday till I get any up.

Yeah, my boy is flying from the eastern states which is the other side of the continent. The breeder is off to the airport shortly. I am a bit nervous. I bought him a DAP collar and one of those snuggle puppies with the battery heart beat and heat pad. Hopefully this will help a little with the stress.

Yeah I would be a little worried too. I get to drive my boy back but we will see how a 9 hour car ride goes.

My puppy Ronin arrived from his trek from Newcastle to Perth tonight. He is more beautiful than I hoped for, so now after a meal, explore and play time he is having a well earned snooze. I am very tired after the stress of worrying about the travel but it all went smoothly. Pics will follow soon.

Glad to hear he landed safe! can't wait to see photos of him!

Pictures?

Hi all,

I will have to work on my doggy action shots as he is seldom still between naps LOL

Thanks, looks like you have a sweetie in your avatar.

Hi Yonjuro,

Ronin looks like he enjoys being home and not in a plane

Can't wait to see him grow up!

Thanks! Yeah he is going good, chewing everything and doing naughty puppy things, but toilet training has been a breeze thus far.

Hey Yonjuro,

How's Ronin going ?, hope you weren't affected by the fires yesterday!

Hiya,

No probs with the fires for me, whaddabout you? Any news on you getting a husky?

Yeah, Ronin is going really well.

Still working on housing arrangements at the moment, fire's were about 10kms away from me, lots of smoke lots of ash. glad to hear he's going well. looks like he's getting bigger!

Stay safe, hopefully you are far enough away from evacuation zones?!

Yeah Ronin is getting big, he is around 11.5kg at 14 weeks, he looks quite lean to me but my vet says he is in perfect condition and to not change anything that I am doing LOL.

Luckily we're safe over the freeway, so as long as the embers don't jump we should be fine.

should post up some more pictures
