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. |

| Hello, I am currently living in San Antonio and my wife and I decided to get a new husky puppy. We currently have 10 month old lab and we would like a playmate for him. Also we wanted a husky for our first dog but was advised not to as a first dog. We have no idea what to name our new puppy yet but we will be picking her up in 2 weeks. Our lab has a lot of energy. He started off very VERY lazy until about 6 month old but now I think he will play until he drops if he has a chance. From what I have read on forums so far, the exercise part shouldn't be that big of a problem in our household. My wife and I both read through "Husky for dummies" and learned a lot about them. But I do realize all dogs have their own personality which I learned from my lab. We studied a lot about labs before we picked up our first dog but he was nothing like a typical lab. But I like to think he's our kind of a lab raised our way and fits in perfectly (or we were fitted into him). Well I hope to learn a lot more as I face husky puppyhood. |

| Neat! Another Texan, yay! I'm in Houston. Your Husky will love having another playmate! Unfortunately, I don't have a second dog for Juneau, but I always take her to dog parks/social events. They'll wear each other out! Poke around our nutrition section to find out which food is best suitable for your Husky. Crate training is a must. Positive reinforcement works better than negative reinforcement. As you probably read, be prepared for stubbornness! Congrats, and can't wait to see puppy pictures! |

| LOL thank you for your reply. We are in San Antonio.
We have a crate that we used to potty train our lab. It's the cage one with dividers so I probably will use the same one and let her have it. It might be little too big eventually because I bought XL crate for our lab but he has free reign in the house since we moved here. And training's going to be the one thing I will be focused on.
As for food, I am against raw food diet so I would like to stick with kibbles but I think I'll need more research on that.
I will post pics as soon as we have her. |

| Welcome to the world of huskies, you will have fun!!
There are a lot of decent kibbles out there, I feed Blue Buffalo to my puppy and she just gobbles it up (much better than she did with the old food.) |

| Welcome! Be careful with food because what works for the lab might not work for the husky (sensitive stomachs). Yuki originally did horrible on Blue Wilderness, but now I have her on Taste of the Wild pacific stream and both her appetite and health have gone up! Haha you'll just have to find what works for you. Good luck with the new pup! |
