| Thought it would be cool to get an age demographic of members pups. Mine are all rescues so ages can be approximate.
Next to last choice should be 11 to 13.

I looked for that option and didn't see one. Maybe a poll guru can help. |

| I seem to think that I voted twice, just clicked the 2 different age boxes. Usually if you can't it says,error needs correction, or something like that. |

| But if you have 2 dogs of the same age you only get to record one vote in that age group. I'm a poll creation newbie... |

| Wow, it kind of surprises me that almost all of them are young. Where are all the older huskys? I hope not shelters Do they have short life expectancies? |

| I don't think in shelters, I think a lot of people stumbled upon this site after being first time husky owners. |

Actually due to their lower metabolism rates and lack of serious generic related health issues they tend to live longer than a lot of dogs their size, 12 to 15 years is common. |

| Well I voted, but since I can only vote once for 2 dogs the same age....
Demon and Dakota are a bit more than 3.5 years old (January 7, 2009). It's hard to believe it's been that long! |

Actually due to their lower metabolism rates and lack of serious generic related health issues they tend to live longer than a lot of dogs their size, 12 to 15 years is common. We should do a poll on why people joined the forum. My guess to why there isn't many Seniors on the forum is because people join to get answers to training questions or food advice for this sensitive breed. A senior is an ANGEL so no need for training advice and if you don't have the food figured out by then, well.... |

| Zoe is 8, will turn 9 on New Year's day. Tasha is 8 too, but since she's adopted, we don't know her exact birthday. Storm is estimated to be around 18 months.
I've had Zoe since she was 3 months old. I joined the forum because we adopted Tasha and she and Zoe don't get along. I was looking for training advice to get them to accept each other. |

I joined when my first husky, Mikko was 6 or 7. I did it for my interest in the breed, shared experiences and possibly meeting other owners in my area. The advice and knowledge I found here as well as the community feel kept me around. |

| Greetings! This is my first post here. So here it goes... Cyrus was one month short of 17 years old when we had to put him to sleep due to spinal stenosis (a condition where his back legs became so weak that he could not get up). He was otherwise extremely healthy. Leumi, our little Princess, will be 14 years old this December. We just got another pup who is 12 weeks old.

| My tiny girl Sandy was 17 and a couple months when we had to put her to sleep. She had suffered from dementia for years and was mostly deaf but the final straw was also just a general weakness. She could no longer go up or down the steps and it was taking her longer and longer to even stand up from lying down. She was SO healthy for most of her life! She was my heart dog.... |
