決める前に知っておくこと
Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:
これはマーケティングの誇張ではありません。ハスキーは生物学的に何百キロも放浪するように設計されています。フェンスの下を掘り、1.8メートルの壁を飛び越え、鍵を操作します。標準的な郊外のフェンスは多くの場合不十分です。
ハスキーはほぼ完全な捕食シーケンスを保持しています。猫、ウサギ、鳥、小型犬に対して非常に危険であることで有名です。このドライブは本能的なものであり、「愛情」でも「トレーニング」でも確実に取り除くことはできません。
ハスキーは義務的なパック動物です。孤立すると何キロも聞こえる遠吠えと深刻な破壊(壁板、ドア、ソファを噛み砕く)が発生します。犬のコンパニオンなしに8時間以上一人にされる場合には不適切です。
褒め言葉のために働くゴールデン・レトリーバーとは異なり、ハスキーは目的のために働きます。コマンドに価値を見出せない場合は無視します。これは愚かさではなく、高い適応的知性です。従順な犬ではありません。
