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 will start by saying this is the first Dummies book and first dog book i have ever bought. So my option is based off of that and not comparing it to others as i can't. I would give this book a 4 paws up. i enjoyed it and found it to be an easy and informative read. i finished it on a round trip home so about 8hrs. if your just thinking of getting a husky or you all ready own one or more then this book is for you. no matter how much experience or lack of you have im sure you will still find something in there for you. if you search online you can find it dirt cheap. i found the 2nd half of the book more informative or at least i folded over more corners in the back. the chapters on feeding your husky, Grooming your dog, preventing and responding to health problems, responding to emergencies, top ten hazards for a Siberian husky (including a plant list for us gardeners) were something i find my self rechecking every few months or to use as a guide before i call the vet. there is also a history 101 section i found to be great to know. there is a great section on puppy hood as well but i did not pay much attention to that as i am past that stage but i know a lot of you on here would find it helpful. does anyone here own this book? if so what did you find helpful in it or maybe you thought it was the worst book ever, like i said being the only one i own i enjoyed it and am glad to have it laying around.

We read that one, too, Jenn. Good book!
Also have read:
The Dog Behavior Answer Book by Arden Moore. Four Paws! Very informative, we thought. It is not breed-specific, but good info, nonetheless!

We have bought so many books on huskies and loaned them out, I can't remember them all! A lot of good info out there.

I just bought this book earlier and at 6:40 AM I am still up reading it! So far I love it but since I'm not through, I give it 3 paws up so far. It has a few grammatical errors that bother me and I'm surprised weren't caught before publishing... but the information is what is important and it's been helpful thus far.

We got this book before we brought Koda home and really liked it. My favorite thing it says is how the hand-holding with their mouth is affectionate, haha.
