People looking for pets today are interested in getting miniature versions of large dogs or extra large versions of large dogs. Miniature versions are in demand partially because they generally possess the same personality traits of the standard breeds with an element of being cute to seal the deal. One very popular choice is the mini husky. This smaller breed offers all the good parts of their larger cousins without being too big to live in apartments in the city.
There are two versions of this dog and although very much alike, they are considered separate breeds by breeders and kennel clubs. The first to appear was introduced by Linda Spurlin in the 1970s. She started working on her version when her female dog was accidentally impregnated by a smaller dog. As time passed she brought in smaller versions of Alaskan Huskies, Siberian Huskies and American Eskimo breeds to keep the puppies from losing the standard form of the breed. This dog is considered a mixed breed by kennel clubs.
The second breed was introduced in the 1990s by Bree Normandin. She used Siberian Huskies that she selected specifically for their smaller size over the years. Her line is accepted by kennel club officials as a miniature version of the Siberian Husky breed.
This is a high energy dog that needs to get a lot of exercise both in the yard and on daily walks. They tend to become high strung when they do not get the exercise they need. They have need for regular grooming and bathing. Their coat is thick and needs frequent brushing to keep it from matting. They are very social and the grooming will fill some of the need for human contact they desire.
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.
The first step towards adoption is knowing the breeder and their practices. A referral from an expert breeder is useful but most prospective buyers can determine the quality of the dogs and breeders by paying attention to the conditions the puppies are living in. The area should be clean and there should be adequate room for the dogs to play in without being cramped. The breeder should have up to date shot records and a clean health statement from the veterinarian. You will be able to tell how the breeder feels about the dogs he is selling by looking for these few points of care and involvement.
Many people look into rescue shelters before taking on a puppy. Rescue animals are generally adults and have been neutered before adoption. They may also be partially trained before they come home with you.
Miniature huskies are great companion animals. Their loyalty and dedication to their human is well known and they will be happy healthy companions for thirteen years or longer for most owners.
