3 comments about Siberian Husky: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Comprehensive Owner's Guide).

1. I have to say that as a new owner of a Siberian Huskey I found this publication to be an excellent reference book. Everything from diet, breed history, breed standard, illness's, common problems with Huskys is covered. If someone is looking for the book in the house, it will be referred to as "the husky bible" by whoever is looking for it, brilliant book glad I purchased it.



2. I was looking for a book with details and specifics, but this was just a general overview. Lots of good pictures of dogs and puppies but not much detailed info.



3. I good basic look at the breed and owning a Siberian, though I do not feel it gives enough information to really prepare someone for the challenges of a Siberian.
   
   A nice quick references for someone or if someone is just curious about the breed.

2. The illustrations in this book we excellent however I thought it would have been a bit more in depth as far as the information content goes. Very similar to other Sibe books I have.

5 comments about The Siberian Husky.

1. This book is amazing; there are interesting facts about Siberian Husky history [did you know they were turned loose by the tribe that bred them and hunted freely in packs for part of the year?], anatomy [the 'stop', or angle where their snout joins their face, has to be at a precise degree so air can warm up and lungs will not be frostbitten when working in the snow], and tons of useful information for sibe novices and experts alike. I recommend this book ENTHUSIASTICALLY to anyone who owns or is thinking of owning a Siberian!



2. Describing the Siberian Husky as being too intelligent, clean, charming and clownish, and mentioning their strong need for company, their greatness in digging up your lawn, ignoring your calls, and loving children, dogs and burglars alike, makes me recognise my affectionate friend in every aspect of this great new book. It provides extensive background on the history of "the little Chukchi dogs", from the people that bred these dogs as an integral part of their lives to their appearance in Alaska sledding races. The book describes how a healthy husky should look, how to be groomed, showed and taken care of. The book also warns of treating huskies as "hairy, little people", instead of wolf-like, noble dogs with a sledding heritage that should rather be trained firmly. When you have always wanted to own a husky, or have purchased one already, the book is an enjoying read about wonderful husky moments, making you definitely laugh when you realise they ALL bolt after the squirrel across the road. It also provides a great guide for those considering purchasing a husky, describing all the needs of this beautiful dog breed. This book is all about understanding your (future) companion, and making them and yourself happiest!



3. I purchased a siberian husky 1 year ago and wanted to learn as much as I could about the breed. This book says it all. I have bought several other books, and basically they stink. This book is well written, has beautiful pictures and truely says how a husky is. If you are thinking of purchasing a husky or already own one, and want some help in understanding your dog - this book is for you. Cannot say enough about this book. If I could give it more than five stars I would.



4. A very good general background book for the Siberian Husky owner. This book has beautiful color photos. Shows various markings and colors of Huskies, describes in detail Breed Standard + Show expectations. Tells the history of this breed and explains why a Husky may not be the best dog for everyone. The Siberian Husky is a beautiful, intellegent + spirited dog. Reading this book, you can tell that it's author really loves them.



5. Wonderful Book, Great Photography, Quality Presentation and Appearance. Good Information, Unbiased and Covers Many Subjects of Concern or Intrests.

5 comments about How to Train Your Siberian Husky (Tr-105).

1. This book would be great for anyone considering a Siberian Husky, or a new dog owner as it contains basic dog care tips and an introduction to training techniques. I was looking for a book with some special hints for training huskies (as they can be difficult dogs to train) and was disappointed. Although the title is 'How to Train You Siberian Husky' a large amount of space in the book is dedicated to caring for your dog - not training.



2. This is a fun book to have when you are thinking of getting a HUSKY. Great way to get a idea of what you are getting into and a nice idea on how they will move your life in a great direction.. I recommend it as a first husky book then move the Siberian Huskys for dummies.



3. I am a first-time Siberian Husky owner and from all of the information I read about them on the internet I thought it would be a good idea to do a little studying about the breed before she got here. This book is short and easy to read with helpful tips on training and obedience. The section on house training is a little short, but really, besides taking them outside every few hours and watching them for cues, what else can be said about the subject? I made a ribbon dog bell and I'm hoping that this will help train her a little more quickly, but so far she has been doing an awesome job about going outside.
   
   It has been a long time since I have trained a puppy of any breed so it was nice to have a refresher course on training in general and the fact that this book was geared towards training Siberian Huskies made it even better. I finished it in under a day and now that we have our new puppy I am finding myself using it as a reference. Overall, I would recommend this book for first-time Husky owners because based on my experiences with my new puppy, everything I read about them being independent, stubborn, and excitable has been 100% accurate from day one. She truly has been a joy to have, but I am finding training to be a little more challenging than it was for my black lab.



4. The service was excellent, the book arrived in a timely manner, in less than 2 weeks, and was in the condition described. Would purchase from this seller again.



5. Excellent entry level for raising and training Isberian huskies. easy to read and to apply lessons therein

5 comments about Siberian Huskies Complete Owner's Manual.

1. Exellent! Out of all the Siberian Husky books I have read, which is about 6, this one was the most helpful. I have a Husky of my own and if I could say something about this book is that it was so helpful! I recomend it for all want to be and all owners of Siberian Huskies!



2. Although relatively small (75 pages), this paperback covers a little bit of everything pertaining to Sibes. From breed standards to training to breeding. For it's price it covers a lot of ground but might not go into the detail one might expect from a larger book. However, for it's size and price I feel it is an excellent book worthy of purchase for any owner of the Siberian Husky.



3. 
   
   
   book was excellant, came quickly, and was in great condition.



4. I recently adopted a 2 1/2 yr old female sibe, she did not have any prior training, and/or manners. I purchased this book in hopes to get some tips on training her and found the book to be very "general" in the training section. I am aware as to how to teach a dog to sit, come, stay etc., as my other dog is trained already, I was looking for answers as to how to train the Husky imparticular, tips, motivators etc., and I did not find them here...Although very informative on the breed in general.



5. Very general, I mean how descriptive can you be about a dog, they tell you that husky's are over active, they tell you that this should not be your first dog. Makes sense, the book tell you about husky's, what classifies a husky. All dogs are trained the same, you have to adjust your personality to understand the dogs. One husky varies from another, not all are insane like mines. Generally the book is fine, you won't find any tricks on how to train a husky because they are none, just takes more time and patients. So far so good.

5 comments about A New Owner's Guide to Siberian Huskies (JG Dog).

1. outstanding pictures. Clear explaination of how to raise and train. Recommended reading for everyone interested in Siberians



2. ...I read it! Kudos to Kathleen for caring so much about this very special breed. I was especially touched by the book's inscription, dedicated to certain canine friends: "It hurts so much when you leave".



3. I can't review or post my opinion because i am still waiting for my book.



4. I am an owner of two Sibes and know they are very different to other dogs. This book is directed at dogs in general and NOT in particular to the very special bread of the Siberian Husky. Therefore, I did not find it very useful and found the writing to be rather dry and uninteresting.....



5. product came as advertised. took awhile to ship but still within in the explained time period

5 comments about The Siberian Husky (Terra Nova Series).

1. good book to read, a lot of info on the breed history and training. thanks!



2. The book is hard back and came with a CD-ROM with accompanying material. It has the most detailed breed history I have found, covering the easy to discover roots with the Chuckchis down through the modern breeding programs in America. Most of the rest of the material, while aimed at Sibes, is somewhat generic. I did learn quite a bit though, and even the less specific information is good, so I definitely recommend this book.



3. This book thoroughly covers in detail all the basic information that a current or potential Siberian Husky owner would want to know. And the DVD is priceless: showing exactly how to start training your husky. This book and "Siberian Huskies For Dummies" are must haves for people caring for huskies.



4. I borrowed this book from the library and couldn't put it down.
   
   This book starts out with the history and development of the breed. I learned a lot. The book goes into detail about the people who developed the Siberian husky and how they did it.
   
   Next, the book moves into the breed's build, form, and abilities.
   It tells how the breed's traits were key parts in their work. The book also gives information on how the show worthy Siberian husky should be built; how the head, eyes, ears, tail, and legs should be. The book gives details each Siberian husky color from the black and white to the red and white.
   After the build, the book tells of Siberian huskies temperments and trainability. The author stated key facts that may make or break your ability to own one.
   
   Once you have decided to adopt or purchase a husky, they book moves on into the preparing for your husky stage. It shows how you can tell whether an adult or puppy is best for you or what gender will fit your lifestyle best. The book tells how to locate a good breeder and the documents that you would need to get from them. One also learns what the signs of a good breeder and bad breeder.
   Later, it shows what tools and equiptment are invaluable to the breed such as crates, outdoor kennel construction, leashes, and indentification tags.
   
   What I really liked about the book was the feeding section. It really showed what type of diet is good for your dog. And, it revealed the secrets of the large chain dog food brands- what their food is really made out of and what is bad for the dog. If you have an overweight dog, the book shows how and why this happened as well as how to help them lose weight.
   
   There was a large medical section detailing the various things that owners accidentally overlook such as ear, dental, and eye care. One even learns ways to groom their dog and how to find a good vet.
   
   If you are honestly thinking about getting a husky, already have one, or just love the breed, this book has EVERYTHING you need to learn. I wish that I had purchased this book before we brought home our Siberian husky mix. It explained a lot of behaviors that we were puzzled by and is helping us in her traning.



5. This book was a keeper for those with their first Siberian. Great suggestions with good explanations.

5 comments about Togo.

1. This is visually beautiful book that tells a beautiful story. This is a story of courage and strength. Togo's story needs to be told. I even purchased a copy for my son's elementary school library.



2. The book is beautiful. My son and I are following the Iditarod race electronically. In order to understand this race, we were looking into the original Great Serum Race and information about dog sledding. This is an eloquently told story based on facts that is fitting for an elementary student. The artwork is fantastic and helps pull you into the brutal winter conditions that is tied to the story.



3. This is a wonderful true story about those who should should not be forgotten. "Togo" is a beautiful example of the blessings of sacrifice, love, devotion, and perseverence. Truely a story to touch your heart.



4. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow nor gloom of night will keep this pack of hardy Arctic dogs from reaching their goal!
   
   Togo was a beautiful male Siberian husky who was part of the team who got the serum through to Nome during the Diptheria Epidemic of 1925. His part and those of the other dogs were eclipsed by one famous husky named Balto who led the team during the last 53 miles. Togo had quite a track record. He won many dog sled races and from the time he was 8 months old, showed his independent streak by hopping fences and holding his own as a musher with larger huskies and malamutes.
   
   A strong, hardy dog with a curly tail, Togo plays an important role in history. During the outbreak of diptheria in January of 1925, a desperate plea was sent to the Governor in Juneau, declaring an emergency. A train was loaded with the necessary serum, but snow precluded it from getting through. In those days airplanes had open cockpits. Planes did not fly to Alaska then because inclement weather precluded air lift as pilots could not survive exposure to the extreme cold. The only way for the medicine to get through to Nome was via dog sled.
   
   Enter Togo. The hardy husky, together with his canine team mates and musher Leonhard Seppala brave atrocious weather conditions for some 350 miles to get the medicine to Nome. Togo led his team for several days with no rest until a second musher picked up where this team left off.
   
   The illustrations are masterpieces as well as this wonderful book. It is an important part of early U.S./Alaskan history and will be treasured by all ages. Readers will feel the freezing Arctic air as those huskies and malamutes brave long distances to get the serum to Nome. The dog sled teams got the medicine there several days before the deadline date. If not for these dogs, the epidemic would have claimed many casualties. Togo has rightfully earned his honored place in history and will be treasured for time immemorial.
   
   This book makes me think of the 1979 classic, "Ain't No Stopping Us Now." Be sure to read this with other books about Balto and the incredible race against time during the Diptheria Epidemic of 1925.



5. Togo is a puppy that wants to be a sled dog. He chases after his owner Seppala until he finally puts the puppy on the sled. Togo proves himself to be a very good sled dog, and he and Seppala win races together.
   
   Cute as anything, let me tell you, and I appreciate a little taste of that northern culture. This was quite an informative as well as entertaining book! Togo and Seppala have clear personalities for being just a dog and a sled driver. There's a lot of emotion, and the illustrations do a great job of intensifying that emotion. It's very exciting, if a bit long, so hopefully kids would stand to listen.

5 comments about Siberian Huskies for Dummies.

1. I purchased this book along with another Husky training book and while I haven't finished this one, I will say that it is a nice compliment to the other book and goes a little more in depth on certain subjects. Overall, I am not sorry I purchased this book or the other one. This book has a great section about the breed standards and history of the breed as well as a lot of helpful information about training and dealing with other animals in the household.



2. It's a very nice book. The information in the book is very colletive and fulfilled. I bought the book because I wanted to know more about Husky background and also their characteristic. This book has everything you need to know about Husky.



3. The service was excellent, the book was in excellent condition and arrived in a timely manner. Very pleased with the service and would order from this seller again.



4. This book was interesting and insightful (as an owner of two Huskies). Importantly, its lots of fun too.



5. I am not the best of writers, but this book has been a tremendous help for me in my knowledge to get to learn and understand about the Siberian Husky. It has even offered some tips every dog owner should know. In short, it is a well written book and very easy to understand.
