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.

Greetings everyone,

My name is Gertjan and I'm based near the coast in Belgium. I'm a 23-year old college student (Japanese Studies). We've very recently (2 days ago) expanded our pack with an 11 week old Siberian Husky puppy named Ripley. At the moment she has a copper/brown-ish fur and the blue-est eyes you've ever seen. (bad pictures below, she appears to be camera-shy). She is not my first dog, she is however, my first Siberian Husky.

Found this site earlier while trying to find more information on this wonderful breed and decided to register now that our newest family member has arrived.

Nice to meet you,

Gertjan and Ripley

"Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been."  -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"

Thanks bealer, have to read up on this breed before even considering it. They have quite a reputation for being difficult to raise. What do you mean watch out for those red huskies Very Happy ?

Ripley has been a treat so far, she seems to socialize well with children and other dogs. Crate training is going well, she enjoys spending time with it, automatically visits it when she's tired or needs some alone time (one of those times she's not curled up against my feet).

Only hickup so far is potty training. Unfortunately, living at the coast is as much a blessing as it is a curse. She will have a whole lot of open space to run and take long walks with, however during peak seasons (like now) there are a LOT of tourists.
Tourists form a problem as whenever she's sniffing out a good spot to pee they seem to appear out of nowhere going all "ooh" and "ahh" trying to call her/pet her which in return distracts her from doing her business. Walking is going good so far, the walks are long enough and timed well. She's just too distracted. She has accidents minutes after we get home. Am currently in the midst of looking for a more secluded place with few to no tourists/people.

Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated!
