Answer 1

Getting advice on breeding from Yahoo Answers is a big mistake. Some crazy person could give you a bunch of bad information just to be mean. Talk with local breeders, join a breeding association, talk to your vet, or several vets. Please do check out the sites below before committing to breeding though. Since you have not experience breeding, make sure you know everything, and I mean absolutely everything about breeding before you start. You owe it to your pet to be completely knowledgeable before starting.

Answer 2

Please don't breed your dog unless you know what you are doing! There are so many dogs sitting in shelters waiting for homes, don't add to that population! If you are thinking about breeding, there are several questions you need to answer, such as: What health issues are in your dog's pedigree? What health testing will you do? What does your dog have to offer to the betterment of the breed (conformation, temperament, health)? You should try showing your dog in conformation to get the opinion of judges, and also meet other people showing the same breed to learn from them, build relationships, and find a mentor. Breeding dogs is not something to be taken lightly.

Answer 3

Siberian huskies are one of my very favorite breeds and I like their mixes too (I have a husky/Rottie mix). However, I have fostered and volunteered to help many in shelters because they often land in shelters because there are just too many out there and good homes for them are hard to come by. Huskies are 100% working dogs, not really made for show or as a true pet, and so their working ability needs to be preserved. *Only if they are titled in weight pull, agility, or another sport that shows that you are serious about the breed should they be bred.* Or if they are used for racing or in the very least recreational mushing, skijoring, scootering, carting, etc.

Before breeding, you must ask yourself why you want to breed and why your dog deserves to pass on its genes. Because you want puppies and because your dog is cute or nice are not appropriate reasons. They need their hips and elbows x-rayed for dysplasia and they also need to be checked for epilepsy as apparently it is not uncommon in Sibes. They also need to be temperament tested by either the ATTS.org or get the AKC's Canine Good Citizen in addition to trialing them in various venues. Both sire and dam should be 2 years old minimum and both should be checked by multiple breed experts for proper working structure. You also need to spend at least 6-12 months volunteering in a local shelter or for a nearby husky rescue (there are many...check on Petfinder.com for ones nearby) to see how many nice huskies there already are looking for homes.

Basically, please leave the breeding to serious, responsible breeders. Be a loving, responsible owner and spay your dog.

Answer 4

Start by showing her and getting her championship. After that you will know enough people in the dog world and you will also know what a good dog and bit ch looks like. Once you now that, you will be able to choose a suitable sire.
Edit: This place can't really help you I don't think. Go to your local dog shows and get in contact with the people there. I don't know what you have to work with there however I'm certain you can find people in your country if you look hard enough. These are the people you need to be in contact with in order for them to mentor you and teach you what you should know.

Answer 5

Is your dog registered? If so you need to find breeders in your area. Check out the AKC web site and click on the breeders button and then put in the information they are asking for. They should give you a list of husky breeders in your area. Then you contact that person and ask if they have a studly male that would like to become a new dad. There will be a fee or you will be required to give them first choice of puppy.

Answer 6

Ask your vet if they have any huskies of the opposite gender that go there. And ask around if they'd be willing to breed them.

Answer 7

If your husky is male, find a *****. If your husky is a *****, find a male dog. Make sure the ***** is in heat. They'll know what to do.
