We had been looking for husky or malamute puppies for a while. I found a breeder and gave him a call. They were planning a husky litter in the next few months, but also told us about a couple of dogs being retired from the dog shows. We weighed the pros and cons of new puppy vs an older dog, met some of their dogs, and decided on Sherlock. He's a year and a half old, trained, house broken, car broken, doesn't chew up anyone's shoes, has all his shots, micro chip, neutered and has been a great fit.
He does like to chase wildlife so we can't let him off a leash till we're able to budget for a taller fence. The bonus is my back yard no longer smells like a deer coral.
Was intending to change his name but the breeder sent us some pics this week from past dog shows and he's very well decorated. So I figured he earned his name.
