The Adoption Of A Mini Husky
Many people love the concept of larger dogs such as huskies. They are beautiful and highly intelligent animals. The problem many encounter with owning one is their size. There are restrictions on size and weight in most city apartments. The solution to this dilemma is many times found in miniature versions of the dog they want. One such dog that has become very popular is the mini husky.
Two separate lines of this miniature have been introduced in the past sixty years. The first to appear came from Linda Spurlin who got the idea when one of her dogs became impregnated by a much smaller dog accidentally. She took the idea and began breeding her dogs with Siberian and Alaskan huskies and American Eskimo dogs that had smaller stature. To further reduce the size and maintain the standard stature she used a Schipperke. Her breed is considered a mixed breed or designer puppy.
In 1990 another breeder introduced a line of miniature huskies that was created by carefully selecting the parents by size and stature. Bree Normandin used only Siberian Huskies to create her line of dogs. The result was a much smaller copy of standard sized dogs with the endearing element of a shorter muzzle. This line is accepted by AKC as a member of the Siberian breed classed by size.
This is a high energy dog that needs to get a lot of exercise both in the yard and on daily walks. They tend to become high strung when they do not get the exercise they need. They have need for regular grooming and bathing. Their coat is thick and needs frequent brushing to keep it from matting. They are very social and the grooming will fill some of the need for human contact they desire.
They tend to be very social animals and prefer to be with their humans when they are at home. They also take to the kennels very easily and prefer to spend their leisure time indoors. They are tolerant of cold weather but do not do well as outdoor dogs because of the isolation associated with being out side. These dogs are very good in a family situation. Children and other pets are easily accepted with proper socialization.
When adopting a dog you should make certain that the breeder is reputable. They need to demonstrate that they care about the animals and where they will be living. Most will ask questions about you and your home. They will also have a clean area where the puppies live and play, you should be given evidence of current shots and a report from the vet regarding the health of the puppy. Without these things you do not know that your puppy is happy and healthy when you bring him home.
Some potential pet owners are able to find adult miniature huskies in rescue shelters. These animals are less stressful than trying to raise a puppy and have other advantages because of their age. They may be house broken previously and they will have been neutered prior to adoption.
These dogs display loyalty and dedication to their humans along with all the beauty associated with their larger cousins. They make perfect companions for city dwellers.
