Nope. I had german shepherds, an irish setter mix and few other mutts. My mom had a miniature wire haired terrier. We lived in the country and had lots of animals dumped on our land. Those usually became our pets. I still miss that setter mix. Lady was my best friend for 14 years. Dumb as a sack of rocks, but a fantasitic companion. My teen years would have been ugly if Lady had been there to listen to all the stuff I couldn't tell anyone else!

I'd never even seen a husky in real life when I met Stuart. He already had Muskwa. I gave myself a crash course in sibes in a hurry. They were a package deal!
