Yea the blue eyes really freak some people out and then there's the inevitable 'Are those Wolves!!' There is no lifeguard at the gene pool.

Mini, what are the differences(that you see) between the AKK and the Mini Husky? Are you trying to apply for registration? Are they breeding true and reasonably in size?
Posted: 7:15:18 PM 1/9/2006
Unfortunately with the AKK their temperments can be described as being that of an American Eskimo.
This in my humble opinion does not a husky make.
Only a husky can make another husky.
The creation of the AKK did not fill the void of a smaller husky type dog that acted and behaved the same as it's larger counterparts.
AKK's can be reserved one owner dogs.
Huskies are friendly dogs that are NOT shy at all.
Incidentally the AKK is a different breed and cannot be compared to a siberian husky really. Miniature huskies are not a different breed and the only registriction to their being registered by the AKC is their size, not the pedigree.

I was wondering the same thing HenchWench(I think thats right). After looking at his pictures and the AKK pictures they do look alot alike. Plus he/she had both names listed in an ad.

Cute dogs MiniHusky! I for one would never have a full sized husky or mini.They just dont fit my personallity.

Zandra, If you want a protective breed go with a rottie or dobie or something.Huskies yes can be protective but not to attack someone.MAYBE you will get a bark out of them.i have enevr seen a protective husky.Think about it..This dog was bred to survive they were not bred to be a companion.They were bred for sledding and they were not bred to take care of the human or please them.Yes they are more lovig now.They independent dogs.they were not bred to depend on humans..just themselves and the rest of the team.

Now I fostered a husky.She was aggressive.She was not protective of the home and she would try to kill any dog that started to bark if the doorbell rang.She ended up biting me and left me with 7 stitches and later on was PTS.She was only loving to my dad.She was stubborn and independent and very alpha.Great dog! Not your tipical husky.bUt I dont think you will get protection with a husky.

Now if your just wnating a big dog have you thought about the malamute??They are quite a bit biggert than a husky and IMO more loving.I bet Neo mastiff would really scare people! LOL

Good luck:)

If you want a dog for protection I would suggest a german shepherd. I have two. Mine are excellent family dogs. We are truly blessed. Although sweet and loving a husky is not a suitable guard dog.
Here are my monsters:

So what your saying is that you bred downsized dogs out of AKC registered Siberian Husky parents, sort of like mini aussie shepherds? Their called 'North American Shepherds' now but it hasn't caught on well. What are your size requirements, and how many oversize dogs do you get per litter? In most toy breeds thats unavoidable.
Posted: 7:21:31 PM 1/9/2006
Right now we have dogs breeding true to form, exact replicas of their larger counterparts to scale...minus the dwarfish looks that some folks run into when making dogs too small.
I am told by major reps from the prominent kennel clubs is that we need more dogs to be bred across the states.
Of course we expect some flack from our endeavor but hey, it happens.
We do already have a breed club set up and are maintaining accurate records of all dogs produced, lineages, and we are carefully monitoring the dogs to ensure their health.

Posted: 7:24:59 PM 1/9/2006
Do you have a written standard? Are you screening for juvenile cataracts?
Posted: 7:28:15 PM 1/9/2006
We do get oversized dogs from time to time and will continue to do so forever, because this seems to happen with all dog breeds and anyone who says never is pulling your leg.
However NONE of these dogs (so far) has gotten over 28lbs and they are easy to spot from birth.
I usually call them monster puppies as they look so much bigger than the rest.
I have a monster pup in a litter right now.
He'll be neutered and placed in a pet home.
But even he won't be near the size of a standard husky.

There are many poorly bred huskies that have been poorly socialized and display behavior not common for the breed.
This is atypical of the breed and could be described as the dog having a mental illness.

Another thought, because if their out of AKC dogs the puppies should be eligible for registration with AKC have you been registering the puppies with AKC and can you offer at least that to anyone wanting one? AKC doesn't care how big/small the dog is, they'll register blind, or deformed dogs you send them the money.

No I don't want a guard dog.. Heck I've got my poodle for that *haha*
I just want to feel secure I don't feel that secure walking a small min. poodle *hehe*
It dosn't have to protect me.. accually I would never rely on a dog to protect me it just feels better walking a big dog..
The blue eyes scare the witts out of people over here.. People have more respect for dogs in general over here.
The people who own dogs know about them the rest are just scared of them.
I have to reasure people everyday that my little poodle won't hurt them... lol!!
I'm not getting a huskie soly for that purpose I've wnated A "wolf" since I was a kid. I used to waych Iron Will and White fang repeatedlly.
So I've done my research. :)
Posted: 7:34:35 PM 1/9/2006
So mini just how big are they? Size of a sheltie?




Poodles are vicious, they'll tear your big toe clean off!!

Beautiful dogs really!
My friend has one that looks just k´like Star. Exept his ears fell down when he was 1 year old.. We've tryed taping them and even tryed some kind of chalk.. nothing works.
Posted: 7:37:25 PM 1/9/2006
I used to watch those all the time too.But in Iron will they make the Malamute "look" mean. I do know what you mean by not feelign secure.I have 2 cockers and one of them walks slow like a turtle.Not very "scary"

Now when I walk my Rottie I really feel safe.Although i doubt that he would attack anyone.He defintily isnt very friendly to people either.LOL Most people are scared of him.My new neighbor anytime she sees him she watches him so closely and acts like hes going to come up and kill her when she takes ehr eyes off of him.And ehr dogs the one growling and barking and acting like an idiot!! LOL

You said it hench, My misha nothing to mess with if she don't like you she will literaly pee in your shoe and yes even if you've got a big party and thousends of shoes in the hallway.. She WILL find yours *hehe* She's imbarased me more then once.
And if someone else then I skolded her.. o'boy.. big no,no.

i had always wanted a husky, or the type as a child too Alex...but when i got older..i got one..it really turned out not to be the kind of dog for me...but...to each his own...

dont think you can get a better watch dog then a poodle..well..im partial mind you to shepherds..but my darn schnauzer is more mouthy most of the time them the sheps..but,..my poodle was a good watch dog..all 5 1/2 pounds of her...lol
Posted: 7:41:00 PM 1/9/2006
Thats what I mean thoe... No dog should be trusted to protect anyone.. Think of it.. if your leader who you trusted with all your heart was getting beat, would you dare get into the fight?
I don't think that dogs think they're stronger then human.. we make them believe we're stronger when they're babies.

I am a firm believer in testing eyes and hips and we're watching out for luxating patella and other problems evident in smaller breeds. I spend so much money at the vet it ain't funny. I am also believer in providing new owners with parents results for tests and including in contracts that new owners are responsible for keeping us updated on any health issues that come up.

My Gus will tear you a new one if you messed with me. He is a big baby so long as you do not cross us. He scares people but we know better. Gus lets my son get away with murder. http://www.dogster.com/?229930
Star is very sweet. Just don't enter my house without permission and you'll be fine. Once I welcome you in Star will kiss you to death if you let her. http://www.dogster.com/?229941
My dog Pepper thinks she is a guard dog. She actually is the first to bark. I try to tell her that the burglar can just pick her up but she doesn't want to hear it. http://www.dogster.com/?229947
Prissy also barks but I think it's only because she is excited. "Ooh someone else to pet me....oooh oooh come in. Give me kisses and tell me I'm pretty" http://www.dogster.com/?229955

I've noticed that dogs do become alot like thier owner.. I try to keep that secret thoe.. my persona shows to much in my cocky little poodle.. *hehe*
We have this huge park right outside me door and We're about 10 people who meet there everyday and if anydog comes up to misha going "hey pretty, who are you *sniff sniff*
She'll give them this really angry look like she's Saying "hey squirt, who you sniffan att huh? wanna piece of me punk?"
She's been in more fights I can't count them anymore.. and she might be small but I've never seen her leave a fight without her tail held so high you could use it as a flag post lol
Anyone else see themselves in thier dogs?
