I'm starting to realize that huskies are WAY more popular of a dog than I originally thought. So let's see them!

This is Atka (means "protecting spirit" in some Alaskan tongue). He's turned out to be WAY more work than I had ever expected, but totally worth it. He is too smart for his own good, but he is very gentle. Out of my two dogs (puggle is the other), he is the only one I am comfortable with around young kids. We've conditioned him enough that he you can lay on him, poke at him and he remains calm and friendly.

When I got him two years ago, he was in a kennel used to peeing on himself, out of shape, weak, and aggressive. He has ZERO aggression left (I can take his food out of his bowl while he is eating and he just sits expecting me to feed it to him :rolling:), strong, well mannered, and has learned to walk down stares and tap the door handle when he has to go out to the bathroom. He argues with my wife (literally actually.....pretty funny to watch) and just an all around good dog.

this was my Husky Sophia. had her since she was a puppy but I let my ex keep her in Chicago when we split due to my work. I would have had to leave her home alone for 10-12 hrs every day.And we all know that would never work with these animals..I miss that dog like crazy, she was so awesome and amazingly intelligent. Occasionally i talk to my ex and she says she still the same ol awesome dog.

Here markings were perfectly uniform other than the freckles that ran down her nose

They love the snow..as soon as their feet hit it for the first time you can see the genectic switch in their head turn on and they go nuts. it would be 2 degrees, 2 feet of snow on the ground with 20mph steady wind by the lake in Chi-town and she would play for hours while i froze to death.

she also loved vanilla ice cream:lol1::lol1: god i miss that dog

Nice Huskies! I fostered a Huskie/Lab mix for a couple months and I know what you mean with the "arguing", he loved to let me know what he was thinking during movies and such.
