Well, I'm sure you know I have a husky, and I too love them! They can be quite a handful though
Here's a beautiful pic of my Roxey

These are my purebred sibes. They are great dogs, but not for everyone. They need a ton of exercise and can be difficult to train. As a general rule, they aren't trustworthy off leash and will run for many miles if they get the chance.

This is Earle--his nose is all healed now. Not sure how he managed that, I came home one night last winter to find his nose like this.

This is Bandit. He's almost six and really a lazy husky! He likes to pull, but he prefer that the other dogs do most of the work.

This is Hoodoo who is happier on the couch than he pulling a sled.

And Muskwa, the dominant alpha male in our pack. He's at work in this picture with his daddy. He hates it when he has to stay home.

My friend Amanda owns 3 huskies. She has a pure white one, one that looks exactly like a wolf and another one who is so pretty, kinda a mix betwen the two i guess. What happned was they had one Huskie I beleave Chyene and they went to get another one KC. They went and looked at the puppies picked one out and came home with KC. Well teh breed called in a week or two to see how everythign was going. They got to talking and she talked about how they have to put one of the pups down because she has a hip problem and no one will pay for the costs its going to be to pay vets bills and for the pills. So they now have a another Huskie named Herman. Yea, she came with that name LOL. Well they all are very much loved. Amanda tought them to pull her on skates. it is the coolest thing I have ever seen. And they know comands, like left right stop go ya know things like that. Not the comands yoru supposed to use but whatever works for ya. Its alot of fun to see them pull her. They are the cutest things. But I would have to agree not for everyone. She runs them in the morning and at night or else they go crazy for exersise. They also give them kong balls filled with peanut butter every morning to give them something to occupy there time.

Of course I love huskies! Actually I've wanted one practically my entire life lol. Well now, I have one...hehe.....NEBO!! Now if you haven't already seen a pic of Nebo you must not visit Pet Talk very often. lol

But here's a pic (a new one--from last friday)

P.S. Glacier your dogs are so handsome! Muskwa reminds me of my pup, although I think Muskwa is a bit lighter. Poor Earle, that nose looks painful! I'm glad it healed up ok! And Anna--Roxey is gorgeous as usual! I love Roxey!

Muskwa was darker as a pup, much like Nebo's color. Then we moved up here, with 24 hours of sunlight for several months, he gets sunbleached. He did get lighter as he grew, but the sun really makes him go coppery. The nose didn't seem to bother Earle at all, except when the vet looked at it! Vet thinks he got it stuck on a piece of metal--just like a little kid. Earle's always happy, nothing bothers him--not too bright sometimes, but always happy!

Nebo's a doll! Almost makes me want another husky puppy--almost!
