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. |

Any last minute hints and tips?!

| Congrats on the new puppy! Tip- Try to see if the breeder will hold her for at least another week or two. I got both of my pups just under 8 weeks and I seriously wish I would have waited the extra week or two. They learn a lot from their siblings during that time. It will save you a lot of future post's "why is my puppy biting" and thing's of that nature. Welcome & get ready for a wild ride of Husky ownership! PS. Check out this article : http://www.helium.com/items/1603745-week-by-week-development-of-newborn-puppies (page 1) http://www.helium.com/items/1603745-week-by-week-development-of-newborn-puppies?page=2 (page 2)

| Hi and thank you I cannot wait! The owner has her for another 10 days so she will be just under 10 weeks when I get her. She was purchased from a breeder at 6 weeks but he current owner found out she was pregnant and doesn't think havin a puppy is the right thing for her with another young child too. The breeder would not take her back. At the moment she is living with a 10 month old husky who she plays with non stop. I know this is not her mum but I'm hoping that the interaction will still be teaching her at such a young age? |

| Thanks for the article was an interesting read. Looks like I'll have to start with some basics when I get her now that she is at that age I can't actually remember the rule of thumb for walking...is it five minutes for every one month old? What beautiful dogs you have! I feel terrible about how upset she will be when I take her from her friend (blix) but I intend to get another husky in the future |

| If you plan on doing crate (which we did with Luna), don't give up!! I promise your puppy will cry and howl and just make an all around commotion. But be strong, Luna loves the crate now and when we leave for the few hours during the day we do, we know she doesn't hurt anything but more importantly doesn't hurt herself!! Congrats on your new addition, Luna was our first and we have not regretted her once! |
