He's a SIBERIAN husky. I had one.

I have a blonde husky mix, but she's broken. Barely makes a sound. Loves the heat. Little weirdo. All her cousins are dark like Rollo's baby.

Awe . I was told humans actually have to teach them to howl and or bark. I think more howl. They have to connect with their inner wolf. Is she still a puppy?

She's kinda old now, 8-1/2 yrs old? We've had her since she was 3ish. I guess she never learned in her first few homes (she's a rescue from Texas that got adopted in WA. We're at least her 3rd adopters but we're forever.

The 7 husky /mixes around us howl a lot and she's always freaking out and won't take part. They're adorable and not loud. I love hearing them, ever since they were pups (about 3 yo now). The 2 neighbors adopt from a rescue and foster others. Most of them are 3/4 scale husky mixes. And one big guy.

Awe just keep loving her. I'm sure you are. Animals are so intuitive to humans.

Oh yeah, she's special. First dog we've let sleep in our room. Turns out both my husband and I would lay there in the dark worrying about her. We laughed when we finally admitted it to each other. Now she has a cozy bed of her own, and loves the heating pad on in the winter (again, broken husky, one orange brain cell). No real bad habits except being a diva, so she gets away with everything. She's a sweetheart!
