So... I really want a dog

But I'm not sure if I should get one. I need to put up a new fence in my back yard. Mainly b/c the dog that I want (Husky or mix of) can get pretty big and jump the fence I have right now. But anyway...

I found 2 that I think are adorable.

Dog A - Sandy

Dog B - Unnamed Husky Pup

B is more Huskyish, but A has shorter hair and smaller paws (not as big which is a plus). I'm not sure which one I like more!

Which do you like more?

Hard to choose... isn't it.

I vote A because Sandy just has those eyes. Either one is good but the thought is for Sandy.

I think you should pick the Husky, it looks so lonely in that cage.
It looks like it needs the most loving Wink

You'll give it a good home.

Oh my goodness it is too hard to pick.

It looks as though the pup is a bit more purebred so you could read up on Husks and know what type of disorders you are in for and be certain of the size.

Sandy is a doll baby though. Just not telling how big she'll get!

hm i was thinking you need a cat ^^ i love all animals so dogs are awsome ^^ .. i like both of them ..
i own a husky and love her to death.. (Huskys are one of my fav breeds ^^ Golden retreavers are another )

.. also what i've heard about huskys and experinced .. i'm no expert and wont claime to be one; so if i'm wrong on any of this and someone knows please correct me ^^

but one thing you should know .huskys shead -alot-
they are increadibly smart.
waay full of energy ^^
they can get out of almost anything.. we had to bury concreat blocks under the dog pen we use to have and wire.. and put up a cover over it because she would climb the fince.. (we only kept her in there at night..)
also when leash trained they tend to pull you, well my Zion tends to..the only way i got her to stop is useing a harness with her leash. (some one told me its something they cant be fully trained out of)
the breed tends to have joint problmes later on in life
^^hehe they also like to sing.. especialy when getting a bath..

^^ well thats my 2 cents

Sketch... I'm allergic to cats remember?

but not dogs.

I know they have a lot of energy.. .I'm actually thinking about changing my morning routine to take the dog out running with me. Then I have a pretty big back yard.

But I need to get a higher fence... right now it's picket. I either need to do that, or get an electric fence to line the picket with.

And as far as the shedding... I would have to brush them everyday. I'm aware of that.

We'll see.
