Good book, thorough and helpful June 14, 2008
I purchased this book along with another Husky training book and while I haven't finished this one, I will say that it is a nice compliment to the other book and goes a little more in depth on certain subjects. Overall, I am not sorry I purchased this book or the other one. This book has a great section about the breed standards and history of the breed as well as a lot of helpful information about training and dealing with other animals in the household.
 The go to book for Siberians! April 7, 2008
I bought four other books on huskies (or so they claimed to be on huskies). The information in those books was general info that could be applied to any breed. This book is specific to only the siberian breed. Of course its going to have info that can be applied to other breeds, as does any book about dogs-but I found this book to be the most helpful in explaining why my dog acts the way she acts and what it means. I was hoping for a lil more in depth explanation on why my dog hates baths but that may just be my dog who hates baths and not the breed. Also-it lacked in depth details or tips on how to train stubborn huskies since huskies get bored easily with repetitive training. Overall, I would def recommend this book to any husky owner.
 Cut and Paste version March 30, 2008
Waste of money, The author doesn't even have a husky. How can a person who doen't own a husky can write a book about Husky. Most of the article is a cut and paste version on how to know and understand your dog in general.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK. IT IS REALLY FOR DUMMIES....
 Aceptable. February 12, 2008
I think this is a good book. It covers medical but, only to an extent. The author make a comment about how it's ok to buy from the mall. Those pups come from puppy mills. They may not be in good health and may never had thier vaccinations. Another chapter of the book was dogsledding, gave an over view but, no tips or refrences to help you get started.
This book in my opinion is a ok starter book but, I WOULD NOT refrence it a must have.
GREAT GUIDE December 27, 2007
I love this book, I keep it in my bag and read it on my way to and from work. I find myself going back to it all the time and using it as a reference. With a Husky you can never know what they are doing next. This book helps keep a eye open on what they are thinking or plan on doing.
GREAT USER GUIDE.
