Like Anna said the hip dysplasia,My Anna passed away a month shy of her 14th Birthday She had cancer,and was doing pretty well until she lost her back end.Very sad thing to go through.

There is very good points made on the Sibe here,Like Anna said with her 4ft fence,When Anna was in her younger years when she got the notion she would go over our 5ft fence like nothing.

I guess i was lucky Anna never really dug,her thing was Garbage she used to lift the garbage bag out of the bin,Id get home to find the mess id be down on my knees cleaning it all up and she would walk over to me with pieces of the garbage she just demolished and hand it to me,Sibe's have such personality.That is one of the things i love them for,they have a personality like no other.

I had alot of Angry Neighbors,I truly wish i could have changed the situation but Anna too would take cats,squirrels anything that would walk the fence and kill it.


I'd love to have another,But right now i dont have the accesories to own one,We took the fencing down around the hole yard,all i have left is a dog run that goes off our deck,We have had a coyote problem in my area so we put the dog run up.Now that i own a Border Collie,Aussie and a Newf they dont need to be inside a fence at all times only a night,My guys dont go anywhere,The other day my Husband had taken my daughter to her co-op which is about half an hour away.He forgot to let the dogs back in.When he got home they were all sitting on the front porch looking at him like"Um did you forget something".

Sorry to hear about your loss =/ it really doesnt sound any to pleasant.
do know if its hereditary or just something that happens sometimes?

I do believe the hole theory of Genes,Anna's mother had Cancer also,I'm not sure if the cancer had anything to do with her loosing her back end or not,It all happend so fast.She had her surgery in May to have the tumor removed and we had her layed to rest November 5th.It was very hard,Anna was fine she drank still had an appetite she just could not get around.

We also had Anna's mother,She was diagnosed,she was 9 when she died.The kids let the her and Anna out and Shyann had jumped the fence and ran to the neighbors farm and got into a pen full of boars,After the farmer realised who's dog it was he called me at work and told me the news.

My Anna, she was about 12 or 13 years old when she passed away. We had to put her to sleep due to her body giving up. It was old age. She did live a long life. Knock on wood, she never had health issues, she was the perfect Sibe. She never caused troubles, she never dug, it was just uncharacteristic. ONE thing she did love to do was to RUN! She always came back home, always. Like I said, she was just a different dog. She was the first Sibe I have owned, possible not the last.

This was her:

well.. really nothing much to add.. all basics have been covered already.. hehe..

but one thing that can´t be said enough is NEVER trust a husky offleash...

they are awesome dogs.. if you don´t mind the hair.. lol... I actually found out that my first Pom was by far more high maintenance than my husky girls.. by far.. who would´ve thought such a tiny dog could be much of a hairful than a husky.. lol

[Vette]

Lori Jordan: Its sounding like a lot is passed on by way of genes in both animals an people... =/ but with what you described with her losing back end control sounds like something Dachshunds are prone to. a compact discs or nerve?

were you able to get your dog Shyann back okay?

CountryWolf07: sounds like she was a great dog an lived a happy life. my brothers Pug mix,, other then losing his hearing had no health problems either. he also died of old age. just went to sleep one night an that was it.

Husky_mom: LOL really? guess size is very deceiving

I adore huskies, but don't think I could ever own one, so much hair hehe. But they are really gorgeous doggies

LMAO!!! There's little black poofballs of Lily hair all around the house... I don't think she sheds that bad; however, when it's a certain time of year she indeed sheds and Lily hair goes everywhere
