I
Need A Home For The Holidays! |
Diesel
Diesel is 16 months old and weights about 60 pounds. He's a
sweet dog who craves attention and loves to be right next to
his human at all times. Diesel loves to play fetch and wrestle
with other dogs. Like most huskies, he will get into mischief
if left alone so crating him while you're gone is a must. If
you would like more information about Diesel please contact
his foster mom at
amieinto@yahoo.com

Akira
Akira is full of husky spirit and looking to become part of
an active home. She is very affectionate and loves to give
doggie kisses.
Akira would do best with someone that has breed experience.
A secure fenced-in yard is a must. She is special needs
because she has seizures but they are controlled with
inexpensive medication. Akira is available for adoption
through
Paws and Prayers. If you
are interested in Akira, please fill out an
adoption application. It
does not obligate you to adopt her but it will allow her
foster home to contact you.

Hi Everyone,
I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enough
turkey to last you at least until Christmas ! As
the winter approaches I am excited to think of all of
the upcoming events, this is truly our season. From the
sled dog demo to the holiday get togethers to the races at
Punderson in January, it is a fantastic time to be a husky
owner. This is when our dogs shine and get to do what they
were bred for. We will post stories, pictures and any
husky antics so send it to me at
tinacarpenter44@gmail.com . Happy Holidays everyone
and we will see you next year! |

the AKC and talk to people who really know their

From The Trainer........Begging
Begging is one of the most common problems Siberian
Husky owners face. It is also one of the easist to
correct with a little willpower on your part. Here are
some tips.
1. Do not give your dog food ; seems like common sense
right, but then they look at you with those big baby
blues and do the husky whine/talk and the next thing
you know your caving in.
2. Ignore it ; begging is attention seeking behavior,
ignoring it teaches the dog that it does not work.
3. Don't feel sorry for your dog ; he is very well fed
and if he is working harder you may need to increase
his food intake. If in doubt, consult your vet.
4. Be consistent ; as with any dog training
consistency is the key to success. Make sure you and
your family members do it 100% of the time.
5. Be patient ; few dogs change overnight. Stay
consistent and don't give up and in the end you will
have a better behaved dog.
6. Kong toys ; I stuff my dogs Kong with his holiday
meal, a few pieces of turkey ,gravy, grreen beans, a
dab of sweet potatoes and a few raw baby carrots
wedged in keeps him busy while we enjoy our meal.

As 2010 comes to a
close my wish for 2011 is that people will come
to understand and appreciate what a wonderful breed
the Siberian Husky is. That more people will open
their homes to foster Siberians in need, until they
can find their forever homes . That each year we get
more and more volunteers to continue and expand the
success of the Husky Hike. As the SHCGC and Adopt A
Husky continue to grow, I believe it is possible
with this dedicated group of people.I want to wish
everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
!
Sincerely,
Tina Carpenter
