Looking for Husky puppy - 8 weeks up to 6 months

Hi Ladies,

I'm still helping my good friend to find a Husky puppy, preferrably male, not younger than 8 weeks (!), up to 6 months old.

Preferrably the puppy was bred & born in the UAE, please don't offer 6-week-old Imports! Veterinary health checked is a must.

The puppy is going to a loving & caring home and will be taken abroad once the family leaves the country.

Please e-mail all information and pictures to sandra dot popp at arcor dot de.

I know that there are countless great cross breeds looking for homes, but please don't offer them here as my friend only wants a purebred Husky.

Thanks in advance.

Sandra

I've had a double coated dog here since 2001 - and yes they are susceptible to overheating IF THE OWNER DOES NOT LOOK AFTER THEM PROPERLY. They have to be kept in AC for 4 - 6 months of the year, if not more. When exercising, especially in the hotter months, they have to be controlled so that they don't over exert themselves (tough to do with active , younger dogs) I always have bottles of cold water in the fridge and when we go out I have at least 2 - 1.5 l bottles of cold (if not partially frozen water) with me, one for the dog to drink frequently, the other to pour over shoulders and back if I think she's getting too hot - I usually only use about 1/3 - 1/2 bottle at a time.Owners also have to be aware of what to do if the dog does actually overheat. I have a separate freezer with at least 3 bags of ice - if my dog overheats, I can get her into a cool tub - the hot water heater is turned off at this time of year and I use the hot setting as my cold (and add ice gradually) to reduce her temperature gradually if needed). I've only ever had to do it once BUT THE OWNER HAS TO BE PREPARED AND VIGILENT for warning signs of overheating. If you are not the primary care giver, can't provide AC 24/7 especially this time of year and don't have an emergency plan in place, don't get a double coated / cold weather breed. I am sure you consider yourself to be a caring and educated animal lover, I give the information above to be helpful and to alert potential dog owners as to the requirements of these types of animals in this climate. Good luck. Huskies also have a rep for being vocal (hopefully your home is such that it won't disturb neighbours) and for being destructive if not kept active (read a moon scape for a garden). Good luck. <em>edited by marycatherine on 15/05/2011</em>

LOL finally we can agree on something :) I did say that if dogs are there to be 'ADOPTED', then you know ok, as clearly they've been dumped in the first place. I don't agree with breeds like that being here and people soon find out why. It's the breeding and importing of them I have an issue with and it really needs to be stopped. Keep an eye with K09, as I said previously they had a sudden influx of them all at once. None of the other rescues look like they've got any at the moment, but I'm sure that'll change sooner or later.

I absolutely agree with you that there's a lot more bad breeding out there than good breeding. Especially the show lines of most breeds have been created for looks and have nothing to do with functionality. A good, responsible and reputable breeder breeds for health and sound temperament first, and then everything else. These breeders should be encouraged. If we wanted any Husky puppy (yes, there's the Husky issue again), we could have gone into a pet shop and bought one. Very easy. No complications. No questions asked. But we don't want to go that road, in case I haven't made that clear yet. With my post here I was hoping that I will catch the attention of someone who knows someone who wants to give away a young Husky, for whatever reason. And I had a couple of responses where they wanted to rehome 5 month old pups, because they suddenly have to leave the country (I do not want to stir up the discussion about that now) etc. Only later they tell you that they actually want money for the pup, as they have spent x amount on it. This has been going on for some time now and we're still looking. And that's it for me on this subject now. Anybody who knows of someone can e-mail me. Back to topic.

Take it as you wish. That's YOUR opinion, but it's a sad fact. And yes, I'd rather have a Heinz 57 any day of the week. I've rescued so many animals here, I am sick to the back teeth of ignorant people who want this dog or that dog, when there are so many that are dumped and looking for homes. People who only want 'designer' dogs encourage bad breeding practices - why do you think there are so many GSD's with leg deformities here? Short snouted dogs with breathing issues? Dogs with skin problems because of over formed flaps and excess, all bad, bad, bad. I don't put people all in the same box, you assumed - but then why doesn't that surprise me? I was talking about those who have dogs to 'order' and are only after certain types, rescuing and adopting is a different matter - learn to read between the lines a little. When I said stop posting, I meant you can stop nit-picking and going on and on. <em>edited by Chocs01 on 15/05/2011</em>

And that's fine with me too, Chocs. You have to face the reality here. Are you actually trying to say you're judging all those people with pedigree dogs? That's outrageous! There are certainly individuals out there keeping dogs as status symbols, no question about that. But you can't put them all in the same box. Your statement is offensive and inappropriate. I own a Saluki cross (found) and a purebred dog. I love them both to bits, but with the purebred I made a conscious decision to get a dog with certain traits, dispositions and energy level and THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. And who are you to tell me when I can stop posting? Unbelievable...

Well you can stand-by that decision and all the people who deal with animals will disagree with you. Sadly people like you are exactly the reason why there are so many issues here. You tend to find that people who only want pedigrees or certain types of dogs only do so for an 'accessory' or a status thing - shame, shame, shame. I'm never going to agree with you, so you can stop posting now.

Well, Chocs01, I'm really sorry, but not everyone wants to adopt/have a crossbreed. And that's anyone's personal choice and no one should be judged for that. Doesn't matter what breed it is. Fact is that you don't have the same access to those breeds (and I'm talking about ANY breed, not Huskies in particular) as you have in other parts of the world. We have tried and are still trying to adopt. As I mentioned earlier, my friend is waitlisted with K9 Friends in case they get Huskies again (I'm aware that there were several over the past months). Also, this is not a rushed or hasty decision. We have been looking around for months now and had several offers and all had been rejected so far for numerous reasons. Many of those certainly offered for sale illegally. I thought it was clear from my first post, that we're not interested in these kind of dogs - but I realize now that I should have made that clearer. As I said before, I do not agree with Huskies being a problem breed in this kind of climate. And I will stand by it. And thanks for finding my typo, you can keep it. ;-)

Clearly you're just thinking of yourself and not the animal! edited by Chocs01 on 15/05/2011 edited by Chocs01 on 15/05/2011 Clearly! As this dog will not be for myself, but for a friend of mine. Being able to read properly is and advantage. ;-) Same, same. Seeing as you're acting on behalf of someone else makes you just as bad IMHO, I was completely aware of what I'd written - thank you very much! But I will not condone the BUYING of pedigree breeds here as it only encourages the problem, instead of reducing it, so YOU and your FRIEND need to think about that!

I can back it up - ask K9 or any of the other rescue angencies or any vet for that matter - I work with animals too!!! They will all tell you Husky's are not meant for this part of the world, they are meant for COLD places and do well in harsh environments, but NOT heat! er there's a reason they're called SNOW DOGS. Sorry but it's you who needs to look up what dogs are able to cope with the heat. My dog here was a GSDxCollie with a ridiculously thick coat and she4 suffered terribly, to the point I have to entirely clip her! The shedding of the undercoat theory is pretty much rubbish. As I said K9 had a few dumped on them in recent months and on every picture on FB they categorically stated Huskies are NOT good in the heat and they want to discourage people from buying/bringi them here. FYI, my OH has owned huskies and would never dream of having one here. If that's not enough justification for you, I don't know what is.

Adoption would be the first choice, of course. My friend is currently waitlisted with K9 Friends. And just so you know, there are still legal ways of buying dogs... Please be careful! Huskies are not good in this environment - they are snow dogs! There have been so many dumped recently because people do not know how to cope with them in the heat. They are also working dogs and pretty high maintenance. Thanks for that, but I have to disagree with you. I have been working with dogs on a daily basis for the past 4 years and I see Huskies regularly for a period of time, also during the hottest months of the year. They do not have more or less problems than other breeds with long muzzle. They shed their undercoat and after that it becomes very much like German Shepherd's coat. The only Husky I have ever seen overheating was old, overweight (fat actually) and had Diabetes. Yes, they are working dogs. So are Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Spaniels, Beagels, Border Collies etc. The breeds that are really suffering in this climate are most Rottweilers, Boxers, English & French Bulldogs and Pugs. All of them popular family pets and often seen in the UAE. Please don't spread those ideas and opinions if you can't back it up with your own experience. I can and that's why I'm helping my friend to find a pup. Sandra I'm sorry but i agree with chocs about Husky's in the UAE and any long/thick coated dog. I have heard this nonsense about shedding undercoats for years in the middle east and the bottom line is that dogs with long/thick/double coats do suffer terribly if not really looked after in the sort of tempretures that occur in the Middle East. I have (and had) short coated and long coated dogs and *undercoated dogs* and the later have always had to be clipped out through the heat to have a better quality of life. And i'm really sorry to disagree with you about Husky's they are not family dogs and should not be in this part of the world. I would never ever encourage anyone to get this breed in the middle east for so many reasons. There are other breeds who would be a far wiser choice.
