Siberian Huskies for Dummies

I have a young Siberian with 1/2 Golden Reteriver. After reading this book, I was able to understand, while in training classes, she was so good at tasks, but very stubborn on others - that is the Husky trait. The other traits, of affection, quickness, hardly any barking, less the doggy smell when she gets wet, the ability to be in tune with young children and and ability to play with dogs, still amazes me. She loves the outdoors, but enjoys inside as much. Because, she has high energy and requires at lot of walking, playing, etc.,every day, rain, snow, sleet (her favorites)it is such a joy to be with her. So just a reminder, this type of dog takes a lot of work - as the book states. Training, should start as soon as possible, it takes time, especially with a husky, who has a mind of its own makes a happier dog.

this book helped me so much with my 1 1/2 year old siberian husky/labrador retriever mix. even though he is only half husky, through this book i have realized that the husky in him seems to be more dominant. this book really helped me to understand that all the little "odd" things that he does, really aren't odd at all, they are only natural to his breeds. i would recommend this book to anyone with a full or partial breed husky!!

My fiance and I recently got a siberian husky puppy. She confused the heck out of us with the things she was doing. When we got this book it solved alot of our problems. It explained to us why she was doing the things she did. If you have a husky you should definatley pick this book out!

My wife and I are VERY new at the Siberian Husky thing (we just adopted our first guy last Saturday from a rescue - a two year old named Yukon), but decided to pick up a few books to read up on them. Maybe we didn't buy the right books, but it really seems like this one has a lot of information that other do not have. I also suggest "Siberian Husky: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series)," as it is a great, comprehensive look at the breed, and includes information found in "Siberian Huskies Complete Owner's Manual" (which is itself a good book, but tends to skimp in a few areas).I would pick this book up as an addition to your library but, if you are going to really research these great dogs, I recommend buying one or two others to go along with it.

I got my first siberian almost 5 years ago... so I'm still a fairly newbie to the world of sibes. But even from my experience everything I was reading brought a smile to my face - my girls are NORMAL! So, yes this book is good, even for a current siberian owner.This is a great book to know traditional siberian behavior as well as background information and things associated w/ siberians. Keep in mind, there is always the one dog that is NOT stereotypical but it's a great place to learn about the breed prior to owning one.
