Welcome Pooch1
I love your dog, very cute.
What's his name?
Quite partial to a grey myself
Not sure where you are in Melbourne, but there is about 1 dogz online meet at a place called keppala.
I'm not a Victorian, but it looks amazing from the photos. All fenced there.
Here are some other things close to you
http://www.siberianh...rg.au/sledding/
Thats a link to the Siberian Husky club of victoria's page. You should go along and try sledding.
If he's already pulling you on a bike you shouldn't have any problems getting involved.
There are a couple of workshop days coming up in April.
They also have social walks occasionally.

Hey guys thought I'd pop in and put up a current pic of Mishka (aka Scout)
This is her a couple of weeks after we first got her
First Arrived.jpg (28.97K)
Number of downloads: 8
And this pic was taken last week
End of March.jpg (24.06K)
Number of downloads: 7
She is starting to fit in nicely now
Her coat is going through some strange stages. After it being shaved will it ever be the same again? It is really thick and feels quite dry in some spots can anyone recommend something to try? She is being washed with plush puppy, gets brewers yeast with her dinner and I also put the plush puppy reviver coat on her (after both being suggested on here). It is hard trying to put a comb through her fur, I'm not sure if it's just a stage of it regrowing though as it wasn't always like that

Try some livamol and some Isle of Dogs royal jelly supplement if you want yet more things to try Worked a treat on Z's coat.
It will get better once she's blown coat Some people have told me it's never the same after shaving but a friend's sibe was shaved looking for a tick and his came back without a problem once he'd blown coat. The coat that grew straight after he was shaved (prior to the coat blow) was weird and a bit like cotton wool. He put treseme conditioner on it though (yes, the people conditioner) and it got a lot easier to manage once it was silky.

I found a program that I can put my "tarp" project on and I was looking through all the pedigrees that I have and found a folder with a couple of gems. A copy of the International Siberian Husky Club news letter dated October 1987. A copy of the Iditarod trail annual dated 1985 and a copy of the Northern Dog News dated January 1974. The Iditarod book has a complete list and information on each of the winners and finishes from 1984. lots of pics and heaps of intersting stuff what a find.....guess what I'm reading tonight

Putting the comb through some parts it won't just comb through. Maybe I will try the conditioner did he just put the conditioner in when bathing him and wash it out? What is livamol? I will look into trying those things as well have read about the jelly supplement.

Livamol is something they give to horses. It's a high quality protein that makes their coat amazing Seems to work the same on dogs. Z isn't on it anymore since he has no real reason to be but I think i might put him back on it because his coat has gone to hell with this coat blow! We have the royal in a couple of weeks and I want him to look good for it - hopefully a bath will get rid of the staining. I hate it when he's blowing coat. All he has to do to stain his coat is go and lay in the dirt once. I took him to the vet for a cartrophen injection and i was sooooo embarassed!! Even the hair on his face is stained. Thankfully i have a million tiny white hairs from his face and legs sticking in my clothes at the moment so he should be white again soon!
And yep, he just did a normal bath with his normal shampoo (i think he uses fidos white and brite) and then put the conditioner through the coat, left it for a couple of minutes then washed it out. He said the treseme was better than pantein (which he also tried) because it didn't seem to stay in the coat like the pantein did.

Ok great I shall give all these a try thank you
So is staining on the fur from blowing coat? Mishka's fur as it's been coming through is stained like a dirty orange/brown colour, in her recent pic you can see light bits around her ears but all through the body of her coat it is worse. The fur is starting to go lighter and get black tips on the end I wasn't sure why it's doing this? Her colouring is grey and white currently it is white, dirty orange, black and some grey; just a process of it growing back?

Hi Everyone
My husband and I are looking into getting another dog. We have 3 cavalier and a cat and we would like a larger breed. My husband has always loved Huskys but before we even consider it id like to get as much info as I can to make sure its the right breed. My main concern is whether it would get along with our 3 cavaliers and our cat, do they tolerate smaller breeds?
Thanks

Hi Katski 13 welome. A few years ago when we had cats, they got on really well with the Sibes, My current sibes have had no contact with cats but love little dogs. I would suggest you research the Siberian very well and then make your decision as to whether you are suitable for a sibe.

They cetainly aren't the easiest dogs, but in my opinion are worth it!
Whisked Away and Shell have both had Lapphunds living with their sibes no problems there
Some pictures of Esky + small dogs
The last one is Esky plus our cat.
He has raised 2 siberian pups and takes no nonsense.
Mystic Paw has a sled cat too

Zero loves cavaliers. My god mother has two of them and he has also met DOLer Gretel's girls and loved them too. He has no problems with small dogs but does with small fluffy animals - he has killed many possums and would kill a cat without a second thought. He and my cat are okay but I wouldn't leave them alone together. They have been around each other for 5 years and I have only started to give them time together now. They haven't had any problems but I watch Z like a hawk. That being said, Zero was 2.5 years old when I got him and Mow arrived a couple of months after Zero (as a VERY small 12 week old kitten) - if Z was a puppy, and mow an older cat, he probably would have been different.
