AboutSibes

So, You want to
Own a Sibe?

Then you have already heard how marvelous they are. We think
you should also be told that they do have their shortcomings and
may not make the ideal pet for everyone who is attracted to them.

Siberians are a gregarious lot and need the company of other dogs
or of people at all times. If you work all day, or have room for only
one dog ..... Don't buy a Siberian.

While capable of strong affection for his family, the Siberian Husky
is also very friendly with strangers. So, if you want the fierce loyalty
of a one-person dog ..... Don't buy a Siberian.

The Siberian Husky is not a watch dog, although those ignorant of
his true nature may be frightened by his appearance. If you want a
dog with aggressive guard-dog instincts ..... Don't buy a Siberian.

At least once a year Siberians shed their coats. If you like fur all over the house and in
the very air you breathe; then fine. If, however, you value neatness at all times, then .....
Don't buy a Siberian.

Siberian Huskies have a natural proclivity for digging holes in backyards. If you take
great pride in your landscaping efforts ..... Don't buy a Siberian.

Of all the shortcomings to be found in a Siberian, the most dangerous to the pet owner is
their tremendous desire to RUN. But the very first dash that a puppy makes across the
road could be his last run, anywhere. A Siberian, for his own protection, should be kept
confined or under control at all times. If you are one of those people who think it is cruel
to kennel a dog, then ..... Don't buy a Siberian.

We just happen to believe that any dog is better off in a proper kennel than running loose
all over the countryside. Yes, a kennel dog is missing a lot in life: the chance to be hit by
a car; the fun of being dirty, full of burrs and loaded with worms; the opportunity of being
attacked by other dogs; the joy of being sick on garbage and infested with disease; the
pleasure of being tormented by mean kids; the thrill of being shot in a farmyard; and
finally, the great comfort of never knowing where he belongs or how to behave. We Don't
want to see any Siberian become a TRAMP.

If you have read this far, honestly feel that you qualify on all counts, and are still
determined to own a Siberian, then we take great pleasure in welcoming you to the fold.
Join the rest of us in the smug complacency of knowing that we own the most beautiful,
the smartest, the most nearly ideal dog in the world .....
The Siberian Husky !
