Siberian Husky
We have a Male Siberian Husky named Duggo who was an escape artist
before we ever laid eyes on him. I must first say that Siberians are not house dogs, they require (demand) outside time and most importantly need as much exercise as you can give. Not just a walk to relieve themselves (as they do not want to make a bathroom of their pen or yard). This breed can be satisfied with a good hour walk in the morning and the same at night. If you take on this breed and give it the proper exercise you will not have near the problems of wanderlust. This animal must be allowed to explore and exercise its muscles or anxiety and boredom will make enemies of dog and master. Our dog Duggo had 3 owners in the short 1 1/2 years of his life before we adopted him (yes Duggo is his 4th name). The Siberian rescue member who brought him to us produced records from the animal shelter describing his escape prowess. Two previous owners could not contain him and both gave up. He was about to be put down, his history convincing other prospective adopters from taking him home. The rescue "Lady" was called and she kept him for 3 months but her male Siberian would not accept him. She interviewed us 2 times before allowing him to stay with us but we were not prepared for the determination this amazing dog would show. He was a captive animal for 2 years (and many exhausting chases) before he could be trusted off leash. I've met other Siberian owners who marvel at our ability to let him free in parks and wild land areas, I belive the key is plenty of exercise. Duggo is a determined hunter of all creatures wild (even livestock), never trust your Siberian around non canine animals, about the only animal he doesn't look upon as prey are horses. He is good with children but I would not let him alone with toddlers. After his morning walk he is content to relax in his yard where he prefers to be over the indoors. He only relieves himself during walks and only chooses to eat directly after the walk. He makes a nest on his bed in the house at night and doesn't stir till morning waiting patiently until his next outdoor adventure is at hand. This dog takes a great deal of care but if you treat them right you will enjoy them much more as they allow you to believe they are your posession. |
