The Mini Husky Dog Breed
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012The Mini Husky has emerged on the scene recently as a smaller companion sized version of the Siberian husky. The Mini Husky has been well received by dog owners as a more feasible alternative option to their standard sized opposite numbers. However the debut of this diminutive tiny dog has not been without a tiny bit of argument.
The most important subject of debate surrounding the Mini Husky is their extremely existence. Some people believe that there is no such thing as a Mini Husky and that a smaller sized Siberian Husky shouldn't be classified on its own as a Mini Husky.
My research has come to the conclusion that a Mini Husky isn't a new and separate breed. They are instead a smaller version of its standard sized counterpart the Siberian husky. Temperament, health, and looks all stay the same while only the weight and height is different. Some Mini Husky enthusiasts state that by lowering the size of the Siberian Husky, the dog’s lifespan is increased and situations of hip dysplasia decreases. This may make the Mini Husky a appropriate companion for families living in smaller quarters or families that must abide by weight limits applied by house owners or condo associations.
Mini Husky owners that have owned the standard sized dogs previously have found that with the decreased size of the dogs they have less Problems with separation stress simply thanks to the fact that the dog is more easily transported and remains with the family instead of staying at home.
Mini Husky owners have also noticed that since the dogs are shorter they don't seem to be able to scale their fences and there were less issues with dogs escaping. Like all huskies the Mini Husky does possess the affinity for running but would likely not be satisfactory for pulling dog sleds in the winter months.
