Breed fanciers know that not any Husky puppy for sale can become a reliable and trustworthy pet, though the breed, in general, is described as very devoted, docile and friendly. Much in the personality of any dog, especially a Husky dog, depends on the breeder and the conditions in which it was kept for the first few weeks of its life. If kept in small enclosures and deprived of human attention, even purebred dogs will never become easy-going pets, but will surely grow into aggressive or shy and neurotic creatures. Such dogs are challenging to socialize and train. They are impossible to keep indoors, so most of such dogs end their lives chained in a backyard kennel or in a shelter.
The only right way of choosing a high-quality Husky puppy for sale is contacting a local breed club for references to experienced breeders in your area. Then you have to visit one or several breeders and see the whole litter they are selling. It’s essential to know the living conditions the dogs are kept in. If the puppies are raised in a friendly atmosphere, allowed into the house, and have an opportunity to play with children and see various people, they get primary socialization and will be easier to train.
Huskies are very intelligent, independent, and inquisitive problem-solvers. Since an early age, they need much mental stimulation. Without a task to do, these dogs quickly become problem-makers. If you are a novice owner, don’t look for a purebred Husky puppy for sale from a responsible Husky breeder. Only a backyard breeder will not refuse to sell a Husky to a novice and unknowledgeable owner.
Ask the breeder to see both parents of the litter or at least the mother. Puppies usually inherit much of their parents’ appearance and temperament. Try to see how each puppy interacts with the littermates. Huskies possess innate hunting drive, and there is almost nothing the owner can do to calm these dogs down and turn them into quiet lap dogs. If you see a peaceful and timid puppy, it might be ill. A healthy Husky puppy for sale is not necessarily the leader among the littermates, but it is by no means an outsider.
