The Husky is a working breed. They need daily jogging, training and exercise. They are mischievous, they contain a lot of energy, so in no case should they be kept on a chain.

Puppy selection rules
When choosing a puppy, most often people pay attention to:
- on the baby's floor;
- color of wool;
- eye color;
- physique, weight.
These criteria are not basic. The puppy's weight is constantly changing and depends on the food consumed, the amount of food taken, and health. Eye color can change, and it does not affect the quality and working side of the husky. The color becomes darker or lighter depending on the season and other factors. The behavioral features of different sexes are not very different.
Husky girls are the most playful, mischievous, like to dig holes and tend to run away. Boys are more sensible, gentle, love to play with children. But there is also a common feature - this is energy. Most often, people like to acquire puppies that are already grown up, with a formed character. The ideal age for this is 2 or 3 months.
When buying a dog, you should figure out what it is for: whether it will participate in exhibitions, sports competitions, or will it become a pet and lover of children.
If, nevertheless, the first option is being considered, then it is necessary to take into account all the nuances that may arise, and the breeder will help to figure this out.

Features of maintenance and care
Keeping an active husky puppy is a difficult aspect of parenting. At the age of 3 months, the baby is active, he constantly wants to run, bite, play. If a puppy spends most of the day in an apartment, then he begins to throw out his energy on the surrounding things: gnaw furniture, shoes, break vases, turn flowers, tear wires.
If this suddenly happened, then it is worth walking more time, giving various tasks related to running - then he will be exhausted and at home he will behave more calmly. The more tired the husky gets, the easier it will be to look after him at home: bathe, comb.
You need to scratch them a couple of times a week, but during the moulting season you will have to do this several times a day. Use a special hairbrush.
The bathing process is important in the care. Fortunately, this procedure is recommended 3-4 times a year. The water temperature should not exceed +28 degrees. Use a puppy shampoo, lather and rinse off gently, to prevent water from getting into your ears and eyes. The puppy should stand on a flat surface. Then they thoroughly wipe them off with a towel and an hour after bathing it is contraindicated to go outside.
Ears should be cleaned every two weeks. They use a special oil, you should not go deep, so the ears are moistened with oil, massaged and the released sulfur is removed with a stick.
Huskies at three months should eat five times a day. Every day, their diet should contain vegetables, a vitamin and mineral complex, fish, meat. If there is no time to prepare food for the dog, an alternative option is suitable - dry ready-made food. But do not overuse this way of eating. This is ideal for a variety of diet, to maintain the daily intake of vitamins, but the portions should be small, this is still a child.
Products are contraindicated: sweets, tangerines, oranges, grapes, pork, pickles, cabbage.
At 3 months, behavioral manners are formed:
- sleep at night without awakening;
- patience while waiting for food;
- training in commands: “Come to me!”, “Sit!”, “You can't!”;
- during a walk must walk next to the owner.
It is necessary to walk with the puppy at least twice a day. Naturally, he needs to get all the vaccinations first.
Most of all, huskies love to walk in winter. After all, this is a northern breed, and snow is their native element. During ice-cold weather, you need to walk carefully, because the bones and joints are not yet fully formed, there is a risk of injury. Huskies love such fun as roller coasters, winter catch-ups.
How to stop biting
All puppies love to bite. Biting up to four months of its owner and strangers is considered the norm. But it is best to show from an early age that this should not be done. In order to wean, in no case should you beat. There are more effective methods. Pull slightly on the collar and bury the puppy's muzzle on the floor, but do not press hard, holding for a few seconds. Then ignore him for a while. Carry out such educational procedures every time the need arises.
This applies to both boys and girls. Girls, by the way, are even big pranksters. Due to their hyperactivity, they do not immediately understand what is good and what is not very good. All their problems are from curiosity and energy.
You need to educate a dog from the first days of life.... By following all of the above rules, you can reach a one hundred percent level of understanding between the puppy and the owner.
