They can be with proper training. Huskies are very friendly and sociable. However, keep in mind that they are very high-energy, so they need a lot of play and exercise to keep them from becoming destructive. They also have a strong prey drive, so you must keep a close eye on them around other family pets.

Staff Answer

An average litter size for dogs is about 5 puppies. However, your dog may have a smaller litter the first time she gets pregnant. Litter size is highly variable, so there’s no sure way to predict how many puppies she’ll have.

Yes, they do! Huskies will go through a major shed twice a year, when they blow their undercoat during the changing of seasons. You’ll need to brush your dog regularly to keep the shed hair under control.

Question

I am going to have 2 baby huskies, a boy and a girl, and when they get older I would want to breed them, will that work?

Community Answer

You would have to find a breeder that holds unrelated pets (or just get your dogs from two separate breeders), and it will work as long as they aren't related.

Why is husky breeding harder than breeding other dog breeds?

Breeding huskies shouldn't be more difficult. You would use similar steps for breeding dogs of any breed.

Question

When would the newborn pups get their first bath?

KingMaya

Community Answer

Momma dog should handle this. dogs don't usually need many baths unless they get muddy but the mother dog should be fine licking them. You shouldn't even need to keep them long enough to bathe them.

Question

At what age can female huskies breed?

Community Answer

You should wait until she's 2 years old. They can breed earlier, but it poses health risks to both the mother and the puppies.

Question

On the average, how many puppies are born?

Benita Mroz

Community Answer

There is no precise number for how many puppies a Siberian Husky can have in an average litter. It can greatly vary from 1 to 10 or more. However, an average amount would be about 6 to 8, and it depends on various factors – what season it is, the health of the mother, etc.

Question

I have a 1 year old plus male husky. When I bring him to mate with female husky, he always acts inexperienced and only the female mount my male dog and the female is sexually active with my male.

Community Answer

Just as with people, dogs sometimes don't feel compatible with a certain female. If he isn't showing interest, she simply isn't his type. Try finding another female or waiting till he is 2 years old, as he is still young, hence the inexperienced behavior.
