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. |

| Neither of my huskies have been protective. We have jokes about it. Hubby often says that not only will our dogs let a burglar into the house, but the dogs will show the crook where we keep our valuables!
We are fortunate that they LOOK scary enough to make some people take notice and walk a little further away from me.
I've actually never seen a husky bare his teeth nor snarl... But I haven't know many huskies beyond my own. (I did hear Sandy, our first husky, sounding like a vicious killer one night when she laid into a possum in the dark back yard. I'm guessing there were some bared teeth at that time.) |

| Craziest thing just happened... My mom saw this pit outside wandering around, then this guy in a suit rings the doorbell (we were assuming the dog was his since it was following him) little did we know it wasn't and it rammed my mom to get in the house and Kale FLIPPED! He seriously wanted to attack! So here's me, holding a barking dachshund in one arm and the collar of Kale with this growling pit IN OUR HOUSE! Let's just say the guy was freaked and left WITHOUT helping... thanks dude your a really awesome human being. I've never heard those noises out of Kale before. Thankfully my mom kneed the pit outside without getting hurt. So I guess in retrospect I think Kale would defend us...at least from another dog hurting the "pack".
Update- fire department showed up, talked to them and it looks like it is my neighbors dog. Broke through the fence. ugh! So they are gonna call animal control. I live on a busy street so I hope he doesn't get hit in the meantime... Stupid people...maybe if they paid attention to their dogs once in a while they wouldn't feel the need to escape. (sry we've been having issues with their dogs trying to fence fight and barking constantly for a while now-rant over)

| Mine will not. He would run up to them and ask if they had any treats and want to be petted. |

| Frosti is afraid of certain people - she didn't like people with sunglasses or hats on the first few months - and now it's just shady weird people with hoodies on that she barks at. It's out of fear, though - not a protective instinct. Both, like most huskies, would welcome burglars in - Chili would show them where the treats are and Frosti would bolt out the open door to go run! |

| Nunya won't even bark unless he's scared or uncertain. He's pretty much silent. If he's greeting a woman, sometimes he'll whine or yodel, and he mostly stays away from men. Maybe this will change after we've had him for longer. |
