  1. I will be posting pics when it happens Tonight she should be with the Vet, after getting checked and de-sexed. she looked healthy to me (but underwait, and coat not as fluffy as it should be) but I am no expert. Hoping to have her home this weekend. we have a large yard (for a city house) that is iron fenced between 5 1/2" and 6' all around. with concrete base, so she wont be able to dig out. and hopefully she will not climb out. We bought a dog bed for her, and the cats have tried to claim it tonight. I think they are in for a shock.
  2. Firstly Sorry if this is in the wrong place. We found a lovely 2 year old Husky at a RSPCA shelter, and just waiting on the vet report/desexing, and with a bit of luck everything is good, and we might be able to bring her to her new home this weekend. While in my youth I worked with dogs and horses a lot, (farm dogs, cattle dogs, hunting dogs, and some with elkhounds) this will be my first husky. (been looking for a husky or elkhound or malamute) so I am after some tips and advice, as I have been doing a lot of reading (over the last 6 months or so) What do you find is the best comb/brush for a husky. a. I found one at Petbarn called a Furminator and wanted to know if experienced husky lovers would recommend it. b. I have been looking at using the Science Diet or Pedigree for dry food, and supplimenting it with Canned or Fresh. I have been told that with the Science diet the dog will actually digest more, and have less poo. And be healthier too. Love to know opinion on this. c. I can not stand the idea of a choke chain, and I think it would be wrong with a pulling bread, but they had a different type that was 80% cloth color and then chain, so that there was a minimum size that the collar would go if the dog was pulling. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. d. Do you guys use the Kong Toys. So while it has been many years since I have had a dog, I have really been looking for a companion, and am really looking forward to the challenges and rewards from a breed like this. i would like to know if there are any good obedience instructors as well in the sydney area, that understand the husky. I am in the bankstown/yagoona area, but would be more then willing to travel around the greater sydney area for the right help. For training dog treats, I was thinking the liver and kangaroo treats that the petstore has, are there any comments or suggestions around that. and I do want to see if she is interested in some sledding one day once I have had a chance for her to get to know me, but finidng it hard to find information on how to train them to do this, and follow instructions. for stopping and starting and turning. sorry if this is a lot of questions, but this seemed like the best forum for huskies in australia.
