@Jason Haha the funny thing is. I was actually considering joining my Husky for the minor puppy group. Just to gain experience and understand the show ring better (for BOTH of us) :D That was well until I saw the show dates. It turns out, at the day of the show, he'll hit 6 months right on the spot. Well in my opinion, if you don't mind the distance, or the trouble, and you have a handler. Why not go for it?! This is providing that you are ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT and that it would not affect the preparation of the other two dogs. Seeing as this young import, is just a pup. He shouldn't be much trouble. And it'll give you a heads up for the next show. You'll know what to expect when you're gonna show 3 dogs at once in the future, and would even give you a head start for your pup in the next show. This is simply my opinion as I don't see how a small pup would be a huge baggage but it's completely up to you. Anyways, i wish your dogs the best of luck in the incoming shows. :) @GoldenAddict Well I'm definitely no expert and there's much to learn. But i'm glad to say I have done my part of research before getting a Husky. But I think the phrase "UNWILLING TO LEARN" here is too harsh. This to me, happens because of careless owners who have not done enough research before getting a dog. If the phrase "Unwilling to learn" is chosen, many dogs whether a Pom, a labrador or even a Golden Retriever can be classified as "unwilling to learn". In my opinion, Huskies should NEVER be allowed for first timers. I am not trying to demoralize any newbie from getting a husky. But I am confident to say if you are not mentally prepared, you will regret it. They are stubborn, strong, and fast. And may not listen to everyone. They are pack-dogs and enforcing yourself as the pack leader is important. Take mine for instance, he listens perfectly well to me and my sister. But my mom however, he'll occasionally get into mischief. Digging is also a common problem for huskies. But I have made a medium sized sand box for both my dogs. We occasionally hide yummy treats like carrots there. And we have no problem taking care of our garden. And well, according to most, or well, all sites, Huskies are known to be great escape artist. I have not had a problem with mine though (not yet at least). His recall is good and he wanders freely at home. But yet, he is used to the crate. I however do not encourage anyone to let Huskies off-leash. This is not because i do not trust on my dog. But it's born in their instinct and blood to have that high prey drive. I had only let my dogs off-leash outside, TWICE. And even then, I made sure there weren't any distractions around. As for Rayne, both the children of the Sam family are my Best friends. We all go to the same school and I hang around their house most of the time during the summer. P.S Short question, when a dog gaits. It is preferable for their ears to stand erect, or is it a MUST. This obviously applies to dogs like the GSD, or the Siberian Husky. Thanks, Joshualee :)
