In recent years, such a breed of dogs, like husky, is becoming increasingly popular. And it's not surprising - strong, hardy and unpretentious dogs have an extraordinary mind and a steady character. What are the eyes of the husky standing alone ? Smart, piercing, they seem to peer into the very soul of man.
This breed came to us from the northern lands, where for years the huskies were indispensable helpers for people. To date, there are several varieties of Laikas, which can be divided into the following groups: hunting, sledges and shepherds. Depending on the species, certain traits may predominate in character.
The decision to buy a husky dog should be well thought out, because, despite its unpretentiousness, it is a serious natural breed that requires a special approach. Especially carefully it is necessary to make a decision about buying a puppy for husky for children or teenagers. Despite its sweetness, and a somewhat playful appearance, already from a small age huskies need proper education and training. There are cases when hunting hounds, grown as house dogs, fled from home to hunt.
In general, buying a puppy of any breed for children, it is recommended to practice 3-4 weeks. That is, even before the acquisition of the dog, the child must begin to perform the actions necessary for caring for the animals - to get up early, to walk on the street exactly the time that it will take to walk the dog, study literature on care and education, and prepare food for the dog. This approach will save you from a rash step, as both children and adults will understand in practice the full responsibility of their choice, even before purchasing an animal. More often than not, children who were involved in the acquisition of the laika's puppy as a new game, already in the first week, understand whether they will be able to care for such a serious breed. It is also useful for adults to calculate financial costs, since food, training, veterinary care is a rather big expense item. Unfortunately, very often without checking the dedication of children, parents subsequently face the fact that the child refuses to take care of the dog, shifting all responsibility to the shoulders of adults. As a result, the animal is given to another family or remains on the street. If after the "training" the decision to purchase a puppy has become stronger, then it is necessary to take seriously the selection of the nursery of dogs of the Laika. Do not look for cheap options. A dog should be with a good pedigree, even if you are not going to participate in exhibitions and breeding. This is due to several factors:
- very often when crossing different breeds of Laika in puppies there is an increase
hunting instinct, which can not be trained. Dogs can become uncontrollable. - a situation is common where dogs are not bred according to the rules and use animals only for personal enrichment. As a result, you risk acquiring a sick, weak puppy that does not conform to the breed standard. A good kennel will never afford this.
- if the puppy is sold inexpensively, it means that no necessary funds have been invested in it - maybe he or his mother did not receive adequate nutrition or the necessary veterinary services.
To choose a good nursery, ask the kennels of different countries. Make a request for the prices of Laika, compare the cost in different nurseries. Good nurseries can sell puppies abroad, but nurseries that do not adhere to the rules will most likely sell puppies within the city or country. Carefully check the pedigree - very often puppy-mestizos have signs of the breed, and growing up, lose all resemblance to the standard. Look at the photos from the dog shows, where there are dogs from the chosen nursery, and also look at the photos of the dogs from this kennel. Pay special attention to the parents of the laika puppy, whom you choose. First of all, it is necessary to study the characteristics of different breeds and clearly understand the purpose for which you acquire a dog.
Here, the long-awaited moment has come, and you the happy owner of the puppy. Of course, the first question arises as to how to name it. In the pedigree are indicated the names of the Laek, but perhaps you will not like the proposed name. Then watch the baby and think of your derivative of the nickname, because from the first days the baby shows his character.
When all the formalities are fulfilled, you need to start caring for the baby. Feeding a husky puppy is a very important stage in the development of a dog. From the full nutrition and maintenance of husky depends on its working qualities, health and strength. For centuries, huskies were unmatched hunters, therefore, meat predominated in their diet.
A booth or an enclosure for husky should be spacious and kept clean. But you can not leave the dog without communication - they are devoted to people and need love and care.
On how to train the husky, it is best to consult a good specialist. For example, hunting huskies lose their instincts from excessive dressing, but when the housing content on the contrary, it takes a lot to work with the dog. Care for a dog like a husky is not complicated, if you have the material means and enough free time. But the main condition, of course, is your love for the dog and the willingness to take care of her throughout her life.
