Many people love the concept of larger dogs such as huskies. They are beautiful and highly intelligent animals. The problem many encounter with owning one is their size. There are restrictions on size and weight in most city apartments. The solution to this dilemma is many times found in miniature versions of the dog they want. One such dog that has become very popular is the mini husky.
Two separate lines of this miniature have been introduced in the past sixty years. The first to appear came from Linda Spurlin who got the idea when one of her dogs became impregnated by a much smaller dog accidentally. She took the idea and began breeding her dogs with Siberian and Alaskan huskies and American Eskimo dogs that had smaller stature. To further reduce the size and maintain the standard stature she used a Schipperke. Her breed is considered a mixed breed or designer puppy.
In 1990 another breeder introduced a line of miniature huskies that was created by carefully selecting the parents by size and stature. Bree Normandin used only Siberian Huskies to create her line of dogs. The result was a much smaller copy of standard sized dogs with the endearing element of a shorter muzzle. This line is accepted by AKC as a member of the Siberian breed classed by size.
People who wish to adopt these dogs need to be aware of special needs that they have. They are a high energy dog and need to have a yard to run and play in. They also need to be walked daily to help prevent boredom. They have a thick coat that is moderately long and requires brushing and bathing on a regular basis. They shed heavily and even with regular grooming and can easily become matted.
They are happiest when they are allowed to stay in the house with their people. They are easily crate trained but should not spend long amounts of time them. They mix well with other pets and are family oriented towards children who treat them well. This dog does not do well as an outdoor pet. In warmer areas the heavy coat makes the heat intolerable and although cooler weather is better they adjust better when allowed to be inside the home.
Before you choose to adopt a specific puppy you should determine the quality of the care the breeder gives them. Go to the home and view the dogs as well as their living area. It needs to be clean and roomy so the puppies car able to run and play freely. Ask about shot records and health reports from the veterinarian. The breeder should show an interest in what type of home the dog is going to. He should ask questions about you and your household if he does not he may not care who gets the dogs or what kind of life they will have after they leave his care.
Some potential pet owners are able to find adult miniature huskies in rescue shelters. These animals are less stressful than trying to raise a puppy and have other advantages because of their age. They may be house broken previously and they will have been neutered prior to adoption.
These dogs display loyalty and dedication to their humans along with all the beauty associated with their larger cousins. They make perfect companions for city dwellers.
