How to get a husky puppy from a reputable breeder, not a puppy mill?

Mhm daddy’s ears seems to be too long for a chihuahua. My advice is not to purchase a puppy off the internet, but rely on previous reliable people experiences. You need to spend time researching.. try to refrain from impulse buying because they look pretty. I also would consider contacting a rescue centre where thousands of dogs are waiting for a home, people working there can always find a good match for you and your family.

It's actually surprising that you are not able to find them a home, because these pups usually go quick. I think it would be good to contact a local animal shelter/rescue and ask for help. They will likely have some good advice for rehoming and may be able to do this for you. The other option is finding a dedicated husky rescue that will take them. There appear to be a few in your area and I've put a link to a directory below. I'm sure they would be able to find these pups a home rather quickly. http://www.northstarhuskyrescue.org/info/display?PageID=13033 I hope that helps and all goes well.

Most importantly I would check that your puppy is coming from a reputable breeder. You should be able to see at least the mother with the puppies and if not this would be a major red flag. When visiting the puppies should look bright and in good condition. The breeder should be able to tell you when the puppies were wormed. You can also ask the breeder about whether there is any history of conditions such as elbow or hip dysplasia in their dogs. If you are unhappy about anything I would walk away. In terms of feeding I would recommend feeding a good quality food specifically for puppies such as Hills science plan.

As far as I am aware, there are no laws in any state preventing prospective buyers from seeing a breeder's facility. That being said, you do need to be invited to see it. In my opinion, if a breeder refuses to let you see their breeding facility, then there is something sketchy going on and you do not want a puppy from this breeder. Any reputable breeder will allow a prospective buyer to view their facilities. I hope this helps!

Hi there. I'm sorry that you have had to give up a Chihuahua in the past. That is always a very hard decision to make. I'm not sure if you've already gotten the Husky or not, but I can definitely give you my thoughts. Huskies are a very vocal breed so it is possible that this pet will be a barker as well. Huskies need a lot of exercise and will need regular grooming as well. Being a pure breed, they can't have more problems than a mixed breed including allergies, cancers, behavioral issues, and many more. But these things can happen with any pet so it's hard to predict. The basics would be vaccinations, annual examinations, spay or neuter, flea and tick prevention, and heartworm prevention. If you have any other questions or concerns, or any more specifics, feel free to open a consultation. Good luck

There are only two ways to know for sure: 1. breed her and see if she gets pregnant OR 2. take her to a reproductive veterinarian for a breeding soundness exam. Now, if you are asking how to tell if she is in heat.....I will refer you to this article that all the information. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/estrus-cycles-in-dogs Hope this helps.

This is a difficult question to answer because it's all based upon her and your temperament. Huskies in general tend to be very active dogs who can become destructive when bored. They need lots of daily exercise to meet their energy requirements. They can also be very vocal dogs. Keep in mind, every dog is an individual so she may not act like this. ANY dog who is bored may develop bad habits. Being an outside dog means that she has been able to run around and has likely not experienced much structure in her life since she was not inside with the family. Living inside means rules, structure and routine. It's also unknown if she is housebroken or not. Taking on any pet is a big responsibility. Many huskies live indoors just fine. If you decide to adopt her, you will need to commit to daily exercise and be prepared for some bumps along the way. You may want to take off work for the first week so you can be home with her as she adjusts. You may also look into doggie daycare or a dog walker to come by and check on her during your work day until you know how she is adjusting. You will want to have all your supplies before she comes home.
