Which two features would a dog breeder look fro when choosing huskies to breed from?

Answer 1

There are more than two things to look for when buying a puppy from a breeder. Do your homework and read up on the diseases or disorders common in Siberian Husky breed.

The breeder should be willing to let you tour his/her kennel and see the breeding stock that's on premises. The kennel should not smell bad, the dogs should be kept in proper housing with adequate room for exercise.

See the paperwork that the breeding stock has been genetically tested for diseases common to the Husky breed. The breeder should guarantee in writing the health of all puppies sold.

The breeder should have taken all necessary steps to insure that each and every puppy bred is given all the socialization that's appropriate for the dog's age. That means the puppy is being raised by it's mother and with it's littermates, with people, not separate from people. The puppies should not be fearful.

Be sure the breeder uses a sales contract that clearly defines the rights and expectations of both you and seller.

Once you pick out the puppy, the breeder should have completed all inoculations appropriate for the age of the puppy that's being sold. You should be given all veterinary documents. Even with all of this, you would be wise to have the puppy examined by a vet of your choice within a week of taking it home.

A good breeder only wants what's best for his/her dogs. A good breeder will take back any dog sold if the buyer is unable to keep the dog.
