DO and DONT about Siberian Husky

Few other dog breeds are so seemingly surprising that the Siberian Husky. Their sweet temperament and playful nature make great family pets, you can give them the exercise and companionship they need. They are a unique breed with their endurance, and the test of double layers, protect their skin from the extremes of temperature in the cold or hot conditions. Well known for their remarkable blue eyes, and not all dogs have that color, some are brown or both eyes, one blue, one brown. As the proud owner of six of the race, here are a few things that I learned from both research and experience.

Do


* Getting a companion for your Siberian husky if possible. Siberians are pack dogs and bored easily. They do not like to be left alone. If you do, you can find big holes dug in the garden when you return home as Siberians can be very destructive when bored. If you are presenting the pet to another when they have a better chance of adapting when puppy in hood. They managed to mix with cats and other dogs present you young. Our six Siberians live in peace and relative harmony with four cats.

* Fence firmly in your court, so that the foundations are deep and the barrier is too high for them to jump over. Huskies are enthusiastic shovels and world-class and are excellent jumpers escape artists. In addition, their favorite pastime in the garden seems to be digging in their bowls of water!

* Make sure your exercise is quite raspy. As they work Siberians dogs are not a good way to low energy consumption of households. However, if you have a companion dogs they like to play "tag" with each other and often by themselves bring revolves around your garden, if it is large enough.

* Invest time and patience in training. Siberians are very intelligent dogs, but also voluntary. They can not do anything unless they see the reasons for doing so, not just to please their owners.

* Keep them on a leash at all times outside in an open area. Like many owners Sibe know their cost, as Huskies to launch and run, and lose all sense of reality. Unfortunately, many huskies are lost or injured because of this single mind, as when they realize they have outrun their owners or are too far from home, it is too late. Worse still, they could find themselves running in the path of a car.

* Get checked regularly for dysplasia of the hip around 6 years and older. While race does not have a wide range of documented health problems they are prone to dysplasia of the hip, especially if they do not have high levels of fat and protein in their diet. The lifespan of a husky is usually 12-15 years. So they are deemed to withstand the coldest temperatures, double layer also offers them the protection of the skin from the sun in warmer climates, but with their very dense coat, you can find your favorite position Husky is sitting in front the unit air-conditioning, Prone on his back with all four paws in the air!

* If, like me, you live in a developing country (or region), not Western standards of veterinary care then check very carefully with regard to the type of anesthesia to give your Sibe. Get your veterinarian to do a test if necessary. It is possible that severe reactions can occur in Huskies if not given the equivalent of anesthesia - I speak from experience here. Fortunately I had read about the dangers from the outset and in order to avoid being neutral, as the type of anesthesia was not available. However, there came a time when one of my Huskies need for immediate surgery for a situation of life and death and I almost lost because of his bad reaction to anesthesia. His whole face and body swollen and require urgent attention. I now live in a region where the good quality types (human) is available local anesthesia and the veterinarian understands the vagaries of race; So all have since been sterilized without any problems.

Do not

* Getting a Husky if you want a watchdog. With their kind, they are affectionate friendly to everyone, even strangers. They are big "guardians", she will see a thief to come in your house and greet with enthusiasm, then watch them leave your TV, computer, etc., giving them a friendly lick send them on their way!

* Worry too grooming. They are pretty low maintenance, which requires a minimum of brushing daily. But twice a year, they shed profusely, and then they need more care.

* Expect your Husky to bark. Instead, they have a great ability to speak, wooing screaming and yodelling and can make complete sentences at the interaction with their owners and to begin play. These dogs are real talkers, you never know what sounds they will make next, and seem to have more and more vocabulary as the years go by. Some mines are now able to complete sentences, talking about the weather and as such!

* Overfeed them. Siberians are saving (and picky) eaters and therefore do not require as much food as you would think. Because of their sensitive digestive system (remember they are sled dogs), they can better with fish and meat products white rather than red meat. They also need fish oil in their diet, maintain a healthy coat and nails. This could be in the form of sardines or more dry food and veterinary supplements containing Omega-3 today.
