To Husky or Not to Husky?

turningstar

I've seen a lot of replies, and sorry, but im much too lazy to read them all! So ill probably be restating what's already been said.

I had a husky and LOVED her. Id love to have another, bit Florida is not the place and I don't want to try and replace her. That being said, she could also be a pain.

1) they will run. Its a pain to keep them penned up. I can't tell you how many times I had to jump fences and chase her down.

2) they shed, but obviously you know that!

3) sometimes they eat cats. Mine was fine with our two cats, but anything outside running around was in her sights.

4) they have a LOT of energy. If you can take them out and exercise them, it would probably be fine.

Good luck in your decision. Hope you enjoy whatever you get!

Why sign up for a dog that's bred and already adding to the problem of animal overpopulation? There are hundreds of thousands of dogs stuck in shelters and being euthanized every day. Rescue one and it will know what you did for it and it will snuggle you FOREVER.

Look how happy Margo was that I adopted her!

Thanks everyone for chiming in. Your input has definitely played a major role in the decision making process. However, I must have some Husky in me, because I can be just as stubborn. I know all of you said I wasn't ready, and while this has merit, I am taking steps to make sure I will be able to change some of that.

Or you're a Taurus like me.. I'm just as stubborn.

He's a beautiful pup and I approve!

I am rescuing one. It comes to me from my friends who rescued a pair of abandoned Huskies. They weren't ready for them, but did it because otherwise those dogs would either die or end up in a rescue. They weren't ready for 2 dogs. They certainly aren't ready for 7. They'd like to see the pups go to some place where they'd be taken care of and loved.

I thought I posted the back story on one of my previous posts, but maybe I didn't.

I love dogs and yes, I frequent my local humane society, and do whatever I can to help out.

Nope... I am a Sag ... If that means anything. But stubborn nonetheless.

Once I get him, I will take a pic and post it on this thread
