A couple of my friends have had huskies. Chock full of personality. And hair. Which they shed nonstop.

 

[Dove]

Yep. Thats why i wont get one

 

[250910]

Raised properly, they don't get separation anxiety, but even sans that issue, they're energetic and inquisitive in the extreme, which can add up to 'destructive' if they get bored.

I have a pit bull lab mix. Short hair. Hevstill sheds like crazy

 

[250910]

Pitties can be the sweetest dogs ever, if raised properly.

I've been walking this huskie at the shelter. He's pretty wild and I get a workout every time

I have a small brown mixed breed

Sadly, most owners do not raise them properly.

She shits her bed

 

[Jack]

The blue eyes are a bit creepy, but they're super intelligent

I can't put her down because she's a happy dog

By default, pits are aggressively territorial -- over their geographic 'home' and their humans.

 

[250910]

Training can tamp that down but never fully eradicate it.

Eddie is no exception. He was very jealous of me and my man. He has embraced life as a famiky dog very well though

 

[Dove]

He is even gentle with the cats

 

[250910]

Sure. The cats are 'his'.

 

[Dove]

Yep lol

 

[Dove]

Everything is his lol

Dealing with even domesticated animals means dealing with them within the framework of their own psychology. With dogs, you have to be the Pack Alpha. And if you're not, the dog will assume the role.

 

[Dove]

Its cute until he is dragging one ofbthem down the hallway lol

 

[Dove]

Eddie is happier knowing his place in the heirachy

 

[Dove]

He is very attached to routine too. Right now im having coffee on the couch andbhe laying with me. This is very important to him and he will lead me to the couch on the morning if i try to sit at the table. Nope. Gotta be on the couch so he can lay next to me

 

[Jack]

LOL @ routine. It's been kind of nice being free of that. It's like we're leashed to the dog and not vice versa

 

[Dove]

Yep. He is very stuck on routine lol

 

[250910]

Most beings take comfort in regularity, equating it with stability.

 

[Jack]

We had ours trained to go out after we finished our second cup of coffee

 

[Dove]

They all gang up on me when its food tim

 

[Jack]

LOL

 

[Dove]

Oh man. Eddie wilk start smacking that bell as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning lol
