Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

so i saw you can get a treat for your pet on their birthday if you sign them up with petcos club thingy. I go to sign up my pup and it says to choose a breed. I spend 10 minutes on the dumb list looking for "husky" or Siberian husky" and theres nothing. Only Alaskan malamute. Which leads me to this rant....a husky is not a malamute it is a husky. Petco, get your crap together!

side note- im not really that angry lol. I just thought it was completely stupid b/c they had breeds ive never even heard of before...ever.

That is kind of weird since I think huskies are in the top 20 or 25 of most popular dog breeds in US.

yeah that was my thought too. at least people have seen a husky but how many people have seen a brussels griffon or afenpinscher walking around petco? lol (im sure i just butchered those spellings). I think people really get confused thinking malamute is a type of husky. Ive had several people ask my what type of husky kiba is. dear petco, siberian huskys are not malamutes 1625187496

I'm pretty sure Huskies were 16th on the AKC list for the most registered/popular breeds of 2012, while Malamutes were 57th. Either way it's kind of funny that Petco didn't have them on their list. xD

I've known about Sibes since I was a kid. I never even heard of a Mal until I owned a Sibe and was researching the breed, since Sibes are sometimes compared with Mals. Didn't even know they existed until then.

You don't really have to sign up for anything. Just walk in and take a cookie from the cookie bar to try Smile still odd that wasn't on the breed list tho

This is such a pet peeve of mine (no pun intended, lol). I actually had a Petco employee tell me my sibe was "very small"........and he recommended I get her hair clipped at the grooming salon.....I was a bit rude back.

Emily,

Did you complain in the store? Now I want to go have that same problem and complain! "What? Two huskies in two days?"

I really don't see many Sibes in our town, but Petco is National. I drive by that store daily and have yet to stop. Was is nice? We still need to meet at the park! (I'm all over the place hi-jacking your post!)

What part of Virginia are you in Lisa? Can't remember if we've gone over this, but I'm in Reston.

I get the "she's a small husky" all the time. People don't realize that Mals are a completely different breed. The fact that Petco doesn't either is just weird.

Nah I figured the employees wouldn't know much of anything about it. I did check it out after I checked out fresh market. It's surprisingly small. Less than half the size of petsmart. Seems liked they stocked up on food and everything else (toys bedding leashes ect) was a secondary. And fresh market was a lot like trader joes or wegmans (I know that's way off topic). I probably won't go out of my way to stop unless im already there but it wasn't bad. I haven't gone to the dog park lately but they are having a cute event there in a few weeks in October I think.
