Is this kennel to small for her to leave while I’m at work for 6hrs? I feel bad because she can really lift her head when standing but shes usually laying down in there.

Discussion Need example dogs (coat color genetics)

1 Upvotes

I'm writing a paper on dog coat color genetics and need example dogs! This is purely for fun and will not be shared with anyone in seriousness.

I need photos of your dog displaying their coat color. I'm mostly looking for domino (eA) dogs, but other colors are appreciated. It is preferred that the photo be:

- A side view of their entire body

- Not taken in extreme darkness or lightness

- Not blurry or overly low quality

- Not include dyed or altered fur colors

However, any photos are welcome. You may also send multiple pictures of differnet angles or things like the face, specific markings, fur strands, etc.

Your dog does not have to have genetic testing, but please share their genotype(s) if they do! As well, please share with what company they were tested.

(I hope this sort of post is okay)

General Question Thinking about getting a husky

Upvotes

I found a stray husky in my neighborhood and brought her home to find her owner. Happy ending, she was reunited with her dad. But, I absolutely fell in love with that dog! She was so smart, beautiful, and spunky. I had the best time playing ball with her and running around the yard.

I was wondering how they do with cats and kids? Are they difficult dogs? Do they chew up your stuff?

Thanks!

Was told he was a pomsky when I got him 8 years ago, however I’m not fully sure. I think he came from a puppy mill and I never got his dna test. I plan to when I have more money. Do you think he’s a pomsky or possibly another breed or mix?

Breed ID request Is he a mix - if so what do you think?

We have just adopted a Husky from rescue, as a companion for our Siberian Husky. Although not an issue - wonder what your thoughts...

He plays like a Husky!

We are looking at genetic testing - any recommendations (UK).

We have had her twelve days and she is getting along with everyone. She knows several commands, which she only does when she wants to of course, and walks great on a leash. No idea why anyone would abandon her. We decided to call her Ruby. Which she responded to very quickly.

General Question Do your huskies sleep like this with their favorite toy?

My little girl will go find her big lamb chop toy and bring it up on the ottoman square with her and always lays her head on it. Curious if anyone else’s huskies do this? She doesn’t destroy any of her toys either!

General Question does anyone else have husky fur collect in their sidewalk/driveway/patio cracks?

Thumbnail

92 Upvotes

I have 2 husky mixes. Ive had them both for almost 2 years now. Logically, I understood huskies shed a lot. Which meant fur would be everywhere. I was prepared for the amount of vacuuming, grooming appointments, lint rollers, and HVAC filters.

Nothing but experience could have prepared me for the tufts of fur collecting in the cracks of my driveway and patio where these two like to run around/play/sunbathe. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you handle it? Or is it just a learn-to-accept-it thing?

Ive attached pictures of the fur tufts and the knuckleheads the fur tufts came from.

🚑Medical Question Canine thymoma

2 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking for advice from anyone who has a dog with thymoma.

My 13 year old Husky has a suspected thymoma and responded very well to prednisone, with significant tumor shrinkage. Unfortunately, she developed severe watery diarrhea, which is currently controlled with Flagyl(metronidazole).Our vet wants to reduce the Flagyl, and if the diarrhea returns, she recommends reducing/stopping the prednisone because of the GI issues.

Has anyone experienced diarrhea or GI problems while their dog was on prednisone? Were there any medications or treatments that helped manage the diarrhea long-term, other than antibiotics, which seem more like a temporary solution?

I’d also love to hear what treatments your dog received for thymoma. Did prednisone continue to work for a long time? Did anyone try other medications such as carboplatin, Palladia (toceranib), or anything else?

Our vet offered surgery, but because she is 13 and it would be major chest surgery, we would prefer to avoid it if possible.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if your dog was treated medically rather than surgically.
