I wonder what the survival rate for pups is? Although 6 pups looks about the average litter size for a Husky...

 

Those pups looked well fed and strong.

 

Those conditions would make the animal rights mobs go nuts... tethered adults, neonate pups in a divot in the elements... nature doing nature's best and surviving and thriving to boot.

Wow! Survival of the fittest, I would guess - but how strong and healthy do those little ones look? That was interesting .

Have admit seen similar on sheep and cattle stations as a kid

 

Although the dogs and mum's usually had a massive hollow log each as a kennel  as protection from heat and cold
