Advice on Buying a Siberian Husky
A GUIDE TO PURCHASING A SIBERIAN HUSKY
Before you decide to purchase a puppy, ask yourself some questions and consider the following.
Can you resist buying the first cute puppy you see on impulse?
Are you prepared to make a commitment to a dog for the next 10 - 15 years?
Full responsibility for a dog is not a job for children, it requires responsible adult supervision.
The commitment is not a small one, training a Siberian Husky to be a pleasant companion requires considerable time and patience. Siberians don't become well behaved all by themselves! They require substantial attention and exercise throughout their lives, they are active and social animals and don't do well if stuck in the backyard and forgotten.
Do you have an appropriate environment for a puppy and are you willing to live with puppy mistakes............digging & chewing?
Do you have secure, adequate fencing for the adult dog?
Are you willing to spend the money it takes to provide appropriate care, including quality food and supplies, annual vaccines, heartworm/intestinal worm prevention, emergency veterinary care and spaying or neutering?
Are you willing to wait for the right puppy from the responsible breeder of your choice? Remember, finding the best puppy for you is well worth the wait.

BUY A WELL BRED DOG FROM A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER
Responsible breeders take care to produce healthy, typical Siberian Huskies with good temperaments. Don't bargain hunt!! Avoid buying a puppy from a pet store or a puppy farm. Often these puppies come from poor breeding, may have been kept in poor conditions with inadequate socialisation, and are sometimes more expensive than puppies purchased from an ethical, responsible breeder.
Responsible breeders do all they can to avoid producing serious problems, including aggressive or shy temperaments, hereditary health defects such as hip problems or early blindness from hereditary eye diseases. Remember that "Pedigree Papers" are not an indication of quality in the dog. They only mean that the dog's parents were Pedigree Registered.
