Where I live, winters can be -30, and Husky types love it. When summer comes and it is really hot and humid for a couple of months, they are in misery. How do these northern dogs work out in southern climates?
I always promote adopting dogs from shelters but...

A family member once told me they worked with a man who had a big alaskan malamute when they lived in alaska. They moved down to VA and it died of heat stroke in the middle of fall the first time they took it on a walk here
My dad had a wolf/Samoyed/husky mix years ago. It would run away for weeks then come back home. When my mom first saw it she thought it was a sheep 
My Klee Kai actually HATES cold weather. The first time she experience snow she flipped around like a dead fish until someone picked her up. And since then if there’s snow in the ground she either demands being picked up or if we’re going on a walk she does her business right outside the door and marches directly back into the house. She avoids snow like the plague if there’s an alternate path.
Yeah… heavy coat dogs definitely require an adjustment period for such drastic temperature changes but it’s so sad that happened. Out here in California I’ve heard of mostly pugs having heatstroke from just the dry heat and desert-ness.A family member once told me they worked with a man who had a big alaskan malamute when they lived in alaska.

In my experience, I used to have a Shiba Inu in florida, and he had a thin coarse coat for 10 years, but when we moved to California he slowly developed a thicker and softer coat to deal with the colder temps. Nature is amazing.
Oh yeah breeders.who know what they are doijg can determingnif they have more husky if they have more husky they will get bigger ans surely become friendsMax size is about 35 pounds... I would want one that is a bit larger than a Pomeranian but has the fluff and colors of a husky... They are so cute!
I dont know if we will get one, my parents really love them but were not sure if our dog luna who is a full size husky mix would view it as a little teddy bear for her... If anyone had that dog and could take a nice clear photo it would be a guaranteed top 3 spot on POTM lol
She is gorgeous!!!
Goodness! When I was little I wanted a husky SO BAD. My mom sat me down and told me “If you get a husky, it will run away. It will not be happy on our little half acre property, it will run away and you will never see it again. Maybe when you’re older you can get your own dog, but not a husky and not now”. So I waited nearly a decade and got an aussie insteadMy dad had a wolf/Samoyed/husky mix years ago. It would run away for weeks then come back home.

that's a really cute dog! I always wanted a husky as well but ended up getting a rotty instead. We had to put her up for adoption because the place we were moving to wouldn't allow petsGoodness!

She was a really good dog. The new owner sometimes sends us pictures and we got to visit her once. When it was time to leave she jumped into the car and wanted to go home with us
Awwwww that is heartbreaking. I’m so sorrythat's a really cute dog! I always wanted a husky as well but ended up getting a rotty instead. We had to put her up for adoption because the place we were moving to wouldn't allow pets

Im sorry that the place you had didnt allow pets... I really dislike those places
It was a rental house. For clarification, they did allow small dogs but not something big like a rottweiler. They tend to be misunderstood as being very aggressive.

One day I was at a dog park with our dog and I rounded a corner of a gate to find this huge mastiff... My heart skipped a few beats lol... But then it came up and rolled over with a ball in its mouth... LOL
Once Maya(the rottweiler) jumped against our door and got outside. The bus had just stopped in front of the house and let out somebody. She ran up to him and he took off as fast as he could. She chased him through a bunch of backyards before he escaped
