(cute little things they are too. so very soft and lullaby sweet)

then they were not responsible breeders...

they were. they made checks to make sure the dogs were properly cared for, would go out of their way to make sure the dog was ok and warned that they can run very fast and would not make good house pets (with the exception of Red, our dog.)

edit: Red was given to us for free. there was nothing wrong with her, in good health, and they knew she would have a loving home here.
ask yourself- would a back yard breeder give away a dog?

Did they show or work their dogs? Did they health test (and i'm not talking about a vet visit)? I do not think you know the meaning of a reputable breeder...

huskies by tradition are working dogs. they didnt have to but they excercised and trained the dogs to do sled work. they enjoyed it and never overworked them. if there was the slightest problem it never went unnoticed and was seen to immediately.

oh and of course im not an expert. im 13 years old. get over your inflated ego and take a look at yourself before you go and call anything or anyone ridiculous.

I know perfectly well that huskies are working dogs..and that is great that they worked them. Really..but if they were honestly breeding "just to have puppies"...they are irresponsible..and thats not my opinion thats fact.

This thread has gotten out of hand..I am done with your immaturity.

fair enough if you are done with "my immaturity" then kindly bow out.
the inflated ego comment was not directed at you. sorry i should have left a name on the post. my mistake.
they werent breeding just to have puppies, well breeding is to make puppies, but as i have already said, love, life,livelihood and greatest passion.

edit:

I quoted this for Jenn who seems to think I'm terrible for thinking people should get shelter animals and then wanting a dog from a breeder. Ashley says the same thing as me and oh look she got Keeva from a breeder. The same thing as your bashing me for.

Ladie's please remember that Pickle is from England. They may not have the same standards as American breeders have. She may be right that in her country no one breeds for the enhancement of the breed. I would do not know enough about breeding in her country to contradict her. She, on the other hand, should not assume that because her country's breeders lack a certain ethic that it is true in all countries.

I know of many reputable breeders in England..they are not breeding for any other reason than to improve the breed.
