…then gradually increase the time. Mine could usually easily go 12 hours, if not he’d tell me.

In the pics at least one of them is a Samoyed not a husky.
1. Friendly but often aloof. Every husky I’ve me was friendlier than my Kronos. He really liked being near me but not that much attention. If I was petting him for more than a minute he’d often get up & walk away.
2. TONS of exercise. I was prepared for a high energy dog but not a 5 mile run w/ my bike & had to weigh him down w/ water bottles so I could keep up, and at least twice a day.
3. My Kronos was very dominant so I had to be careful when introducing new dogs he was ok w/ all unless they got aggressive. He was fine w/ other dominant dogs but only ever bowed down to one, an Alaskan Malamute more than twice his weight @ 153 lbs.
Kronos’ job was running along my bike & he appointed himself head of security at the dog park. He’d let dogs know if they were too rough, less tolerant w/ rough play against puppies, more tolerant of puppies, disabled & senior dogs against him. Kronos broke up 5 fights b4 us humans could get there.
4. Some huskies don’t like to be groomed or bathed. Kronos hated being combed so I’d do it 5 min at a time sometimes several times a day. I made a couple of combs from human ones that worked better than any from the pet store. I’d get 2 w/ sturdy teeth. One one cut out every other tooth & the other 2/3’s of them (2 out 1 in, 2 out, 1 in, etc). I’d comb w/ the 2/3’s w/ the grain until wasn’t really pulling out more h as or the repeat w/ the 1/2 toothed. When that wasn’t pulling out hair either I’d repeat the first 2 steps against the grain.
5. I’d walk/run him in the morning or after sunset & do my best to keep him cool. I’d keep a fan on on the wood floor for him.
6. Escaped 23 times & got him back w/o help less than 1/2. Could jump a 4’ fence lice it was nothing & find holes in peoples fences.
7. Like many Kronos was stubborn so if I asked him to do something 2x’s & if he didn’t do it, I’d make him (ie dangerous) or decide it wasn’t important (ie sit). Also I’d never ask him to do something unless I could make him or I thought he’d do it. He liked to play rough w/ other dogs & me & I was fine w/ that, but one time he did a play bite on me a bit too hard so I immediately tackled him held him on the ground on his back until he didn’t move for ~2 sec the I let him up. Never had to get similarly rough w/ him ever again.
8. Illnesses: when I got Kronos he had a cataract so blind in his left eye & epilepsy, needing more & stronger medicine until he was on max dose of 4. These decreased his energy level & the last year he had only one minute warning to be let out & wore a diaper inside that only stopped dripping.
He died fairly young at 7.5 yrs bk even w/ the meds & acupuncture he had several seizures every & 1-2 grand mals a wk.

Kristina: take him out every few hours & when he pees outside praise him & give him a treat. Only accident mine hade I mistook him telling me he had to go) for excitement for a visitor. (soon b4 our walk)

I have been odedience training breeds, german shepherds, labs for 50 years. I jog with the dog I have and give the dog up to 6 hours excersize evey day which includes obedience training, walking and jogging,and after 2-3 hours on first session we go to the pub because there aren’t many public toilets. I am happy to say I get my siberian husky on friday and am looking forward to the challenge.

We are getting a siber husky soon, pick her up next week. We have a whire shepard 15 years old, great dog. I am concerned about the hiarchy cause this husky is 3 years old. Any suggestions? I plan to run her through the woods behind our house every day for excersize.
I also have a cat..

I have a three month old male Husky. Very affecinat, smart and an absolute handful! Have managed to potty train as far as pooping goes but still working on pee lee. Most especially when he is excited. Any suggestions?
