We were thinking about getting either a German Shepherd or a Siberian Husky this morning, About 2 hours after we finished discussing this, a friend posted that they needed a new house for this dog, It was his neighbors puppy and they couldn't keep him, All shots up to date, well groomed and potty trained.
 
I asked how much and they said free, So we went as soon as we could to pick him up and well, Meet 5-month old Alpha!
 


 
We took him for 3 separate walks, First my sister and my girlfriend, then myself, then my father and mother. He's really nice with the kids, Super hyper when he's off the leash and really calm when he's on the leash. As we passed more aggressive dogs that were barking at him, he would just look and keep walking, didn't even bark at them. I like that.
 
Previous owners kept him indoor because they had a small yard, But from what I can tell, He loves being outside, So tomorrow I'm getting started building him his own dog house and we're going to give him a large space for him to run around freely. Also trying to get a water station that refills itself, Like a reservoir of some sort.
 
I know the basics, But does anyone have any advice/tips? Anything is appreciated :).

I love huskies. They are beautiful dogs. I just need an older dog.. can't do puppies anymore, lol.

That is a beautiful puppy for sure.

gorgeous dog.

Wow looks part wolf.
 

Rush, please keep that dog indoors. I know how hot it's been in the L.A area (I work in Covina) and all of last week was 95+. Huskies get heat strokes very easily, my neighbors dog has seizures now because he accidentally left her outside for 3 hours on a 100F day and she had a heat stroke. Also, remember the 'palm rule'. If you can't put the back of your hand on the pavement for 5 seconds, it's too hot for your dog to walk on it!

You may look into investing in a good liquid-cooling solution for your dog. I recommend one of these. The hybrid coolers are not recommended, as the thermal paste gets stuck in their fur. They also tend to try licking it off, which may make them ill.

LOL.

Looks like Balto. Oh how cute!         :P

Heheheh, my sona is purple/black :P.

Remember to talk to him just like you would to another person. You'll be surprised at how easily a Husky will pick up on speech and start talking back to you. Mine did and it was hilarious.

Wow, really awesome puppy you have there. I once had a Malamute/Timber wolf cross. Give them shade, brush them, lots of water, and keep them off the hot pavement. Oh the hair!! You can now start your new dog hair sweater business!

The ex-owner called my sister (She wanted to keep in touch, didn't want to get rid of the dog, Just couldn't keep him)
 
She said it's half husky half wolf.
 
No wonder! lol!

That's definitely not half wolf. Sorry to burst your bubble :P.

She is gorgeous,she does look more Malamute than Husky.....gorgeous.
