Wolf As Pet

[RareBreed]

Honestly, that is the soonest we can breed her. We won't attempt it until then. She would have to be in good health, also. She had this litter without any problems at all. In fact, she kept on good weight and wonderful appetite throughout. She is in great health. I do not know why the mom of your dog was a two year wait? Females can only be bred from for a short amount of years...then they retire I would never want to hurt my girl. I hear the AKC recommends breeding a female in consecutive heats may be healthier and decrease scar tissue on the female. We follow the TDR guidlines at this time as the breed isn't recognized by the AKC and is so new. In a female of breeding age...they must be through at least two heat cycles and have their health tested prior to having pups. I know the puppy mills will put the male at just six months old to a ##### to try and mate! The ##### may be only through one heat cycle with that as well...very sad. You can imagine whom I am refering to.... There are minimum requirements to breeding and we insist on health testing and waiting the appropriate time limits.

They have many Malamutes, so maybe they just wanted to breed others. I was so excited when I saw that my girl's parents were mated again and expecting puppies. My baby has more full blooded brothers and sisters out there. I really like the combo of her parents. The mom is a red malamute and the dad is black and white. My girl is mostly b&W but you can detect alittle red on her legs (provided she's not covered in mud at the time ).

I wasn't questioning you with my post. I was just surprised that it would be that soon. Since I've never bred a dog, I don't know what is "normal" and was in no way implying that I thought you were breeding her too soon after her last litter. I applaud your care and concern you have for your dogs and I will enjoy visiting your site once in awhile so see picks of them as I still think they are amazing looking dogs.

I think Malamutes are pretty dogs, but I wouldn't own one. I severely dislike huskies. People get them and then complain, "My husky pulls me on the leash!" DUH! What did you think you were getting? Plus, they're mouthy (loud), tend to be bad with small animals, and they are great escape artists. No thanks.

Ok... I am a husky owner... I definitely agree with the pulling part, but that is mainly bc he is 85lbs vs my 125lbs. I can walk him on a leash without severe issues, but choose not too. I hooked both runners together (40-60ft of cable) and let him run thru the horse pasture this weekend and if I wasnt paying attention I got a "wake-up mom" jerk. The odd thing about our husky is, he barely talks, he has never barked, he will talk when we encourage him but other than that barely makes a peep. And with two cats he is great with them. He has done the occasional mouth around the head thing but the cats play right back with him. And he has gotten loose a time or two, but that is due to the kids not paying attention when running in and out of the house. BUT I am a firm believer in everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And Im not trying to push the breed on you. Just saying there are some huskys that arent like that.

Sounds like you have a nice dog. But, just because he's large doesn't mean he should pull. Is that what you're saying? There are plenty of dogs much bigger than yours that don't pull.

My Malamute is about 110 lbs and is a great walker on the leash. I also put a harness on her so maybe that helps too.

Why would anyone want a dog that has wolf in it? Just to say your dog is part wolf? Terrible accident waiting to happen. To many people who have no experience owning a dog see a breed and get one cause they are "cool looking" and have no knowledge of the breed at all.

Its all on how you train them as a puppy. I was not around when he was a puppy. He has been hooked to a runner whenever he has needed to go out all of his life. So there has been no need to walk him on a leash other than when we would take the girls for walks around the old neighborhood. Being a large dog has nothing to do with him pulling. thats the breed. thats what is in his genes. but! i have known smaller dogs that pull too. Its how well you train them on a leash. And with him being a bigger dog and a husky, I am not going to break my back or strain myself trying to walk him when he would rather run by himself on the runner.

Whatever you say! My dogs are happy and healthy and very well taken care of. But thanks for your opinion! Have a fantastic day!!!

Putting a dog on a runner does not make up for not walking them. How a dog acts is part of training. You have to work with your dog everyday, not just when you have time. I have 2 English Mastiffs that walk wonderful on a leash because they were taught that way. My male is about 180 and I have never had a problem with him pulling. Why..........training and regular walks on the leash. He knows what is expected of him and how to behave.
