Snowsong Siberians & Cockapoos

ABOUT THE BREED - SIBERIAN HUSKY

The Siberian Husky is a medium sized working dog. With it’s energy, alertness, and intelligence, they need plenty of training and exercise to help them behave properly.

Although Siberian Huskies are intelligent, they are also stubborn. That means they need a firm hand in training them and keeping them right down to the rules. Training and homing them correctly is an important part of having a Siberian Husky. Their intelligence can get them into trouble as they live up to their reputation as escape artists. They can figure out how to undo the latch on their kennel, turn the door handle on your front door, or other ways of escaping where you have contained them. It is extremely important to make sure you have safely contained them, especially if you are away from home.

Siberian Huskies love to run. As much as they may seem comfortable by your feet while you do office work, they would literally run all day if you let them. Walks and other forms of exercise are an important part of a Siberian Husky's life, which means you need to be prepared for additional walks if you do not have a place to allow your Husky to run around and let loose some of it’s excess energy.

Siberian Huskies are beautiful and unique dogs. Bred to pull sleds, snow is nothing new to them! They thrive living outdoors, even during the wintery season. Don’t be surprised if you find your Siberian Husky outside of his doghouse or shelter you have provided for him, simply enjoying the blizzard. It’s part of their unique nature.

They are also relatively quiet dogs. They typically don’t bark, but “talk” instead. Their signature howl can be a beautiful song, but sometimes that howl turns into a conversation. They begin to “talk” to you as if they haven’t seen you in years, instead of barking like most other breeds.

Huskies are beautiful creatures. They are easily recognizable with their thickly furred double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings. They can be any colour and their eyes are equally as unique. We have personally been blessed with brown, grey, blue, green, amber, bi-eyes, and parti-eyes, including our adult dogs.

As you consider having a Siberian Husky join your home, take your time to do adequate research. A Siberian Husky might be beautiful, unique, and intriguing, but is a Siberian Husky right for your home?

ABOUT THE BREED - COCKAPOO

The Cockapoo is a lovely crossbreed between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. Though they are not required to be miniature in size, that is what is commonly bred.

Because Cockapoos are a crossbreed, their appearances do vary. They can have straight, wavy, or curly coats. Their coats are long and require grooming. Temperaments and need of exercise also varies. Colour also can vary.

Switching from the technical to experience, we have a Cockapoo ourselves and she is a great family dog. She gets so excited to go on a walk and she likes snuggles and still loves to chase balls at two years old. She welcomes strangers into our home and is incredibly agile. Marley is not only good with us and adults, but she loves the little kids too - and she was a Covid puppy! She is a barker, which could be a downside if you prefer quieter dogs, but we like her in spite of that!
