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 we finally picked up Ragnar today, those that read my introduction know that I was less than diligent in my search for a reputable breeder. He was anxious the whole ride home but a great pup for a 3 hour drive with no car sickness, just laid in my fiance's lap for the whole trip. When we reached home I immediately put him in the yard to let him urinate (which he did) but then he cowered with his tail between his legs. After we got him inside he ran to the corner and basically pressed himself as far into it as possible. I've tried to give him some water and food but he want's nothing of it...or nothing to do with us. I've never seen a puppy act this frightened, I'm scared that he was being neglected or abused and is now very afraid of human contact. I'm trying to allow his as much space as possible so that he can become comfortable with his surroundings and his new home.

Has anyone else experienced this extreme anxiety from a husky pup?

Cato was anxious and slept a lot when we first got him. He was scared of everything the first night, literally. And of course, being the neurotic husky-mom that I am, I freaked out about every little thing. hahaha.

Don't worry if he is breathing rapidly when he is sleeping, apparently it's completely normal. I freaked out and had to call the E Vet to ask. Smile

When I went to meet Loki he was a bit afraid and was hiding underneath the breeder's kitchen table. It didn't take him long too warm up to us.

It's normal just takes a bit to adjust sometimes, Thane hid between the crate and couch and ended up falling asleep there. He warmed up the next day.

Thanks for the replies. Ragnar's been here a couple days now and is still very frightened and anxious acting but we'll just keep trying to acclimate him. I've been taking him out on the leash every couple hours and he's been doing pretty good, only a few accidents. Nights are when the real fun begins, he's a howler for sure...it's pretty cute but I will be picking up some earplugs for myself and the family, haha.

The "breeders" were feeding him Purina One so I picked up a bag and also a bag of TOTW Pacific and have been starting with the 75% old, 25% new routine. He's not a big eater right now but I'm sure that will change as he becomes more comfortable with us.

I know, "worthless without pictures"...I'll try to upload some very soon.
