Puppy Profile: Siberian Husky

So cute, I had to post double the pictures. More pictures at DailyPuppy.com

Unfortunately, they don't stay puppies long but they do grow up to be gorgeous dogs. Huskies are known to be masterful escape artists, although I've never witnessed such an escape attempt, crate training early with a proper exercise routine can help ease Huskies into your lifestyle as long as you stay active.

The approximate adult size (two years old or older) of the male Siberian Husky is 21 to 23.5 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and 45 to 60 pounds. The female ranges from 20 to 22 inches to the withers and 35 to 50 pounds. (Mitch Endick, PetPages.com)

Huskies aren't a particularly large breed but have a heavier coat and if not exercised properly, can put on some weight. There needs to be quite a large amount of exercise for them to be healthy. Leaving such an energetic breed in a crate for more than 8 hours a day can be harmful as huskies will grow more and more anxious. Schedule a good exercise routine that involves at least a full hour before and after crating to ensure that your Husky will get all that pent up energy out.

From our fan Stella!

"Hi there, we ordered a crate cover from you a little while ago and last night we received a follow up letter in the mail. We wanted to thank you so very much for that letter! What an amazing business practice that shows how much you care about your customers! Concerning the product, it pits perfect and looks really nice. Stella doesn't try to eat it like the blanket that was covering it before, so that's great! Also, it keeps her room looking a lot nicer and much more tidy. Before finding your product, I only found covers that were many times more expensive. You guys are a rare gem of a company and I want to shout you from the product blogging rooftops! Thanks for everything!"

Snapshots from our fans: No-No, Bagel, and Jeffrey

"The cover and the pad are both made out of very high-quality material making it very firm yet comfortable for my dogs, No-No, Bagel and Jeffrey. It was surprising to me that they liked the crate so much since they usually sleep in their own beds and have never been inside a crate before. The seemed to find the crate pads very comfortable and stayed inside the crates with the doors shut without any begging or crying to be let out. Even with the covers on with one panel rolled up, the crate is very well ventilated and each one of my dogs looked cozy and comfortable."
