Hello, My name is Sasha and I have a Siberian Husky/Wolf hybrid and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I am going to school to be a Vet Tech, I am in the Minnesota Army National Guard (hence I live in Minnesota). I am one of the biggest animal people that you will ever meet.
Now, on to my Husky/Wolf hybrid. I adopted him, he was a couple of days away from being put down because no one wanted a wolf hybrid. But, I was there for him. His name is Buck (the humane society named him after 'Buck' from Call of the Wild), he is 2 years old. He is taller than the average husky and he had more of the wolfish coloring in his tail and on his hind legs than most hybrids (the humane societies vet figured him to be about 25% wolf). He is one of the sweetist dogs that I have ever met. He can be very stubborn at times. Especially when he is running around in the yard and doesn't want to listen to come back inside eventhough I need to get going for work (that happened this morning). He knows when he has to protect something or someone. Like when we were up north camping and there have been alot of incidents of Coyotes attacking little kids. Well, Buck would follow my 1 1/2 year old nephew(at the time) where ever he went. If we saw my nephew, Buck wasn't far away. If my nephew would go and try to go somewhere else and Buck was distracted by food I would tell him 'Go by Will' and he would follow Will(my nephew).
Time for our new dog, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I just got him on Saturday the 19th. He is a sweet and loveable dog. I honestly don't have that much to say about him because we haven't had him that long. But i can say that he is a little goof ball. When we go to bed, he has to either be all of the way underneath the blankets or his head has to be under a blanket or pillow. People see his breed and think that he is going to be viciouse. He isn't. He grew up around little kids. The only reason that the owner had to give him up is because she is a single mom with a one year old and she is working full time. His name is Nino, he is a red-nosed, he is tan and white in color. He thinks he's a lap dog which is ok because he only weighs about 35 pounds.
With both of those two. I didn't know how both of them would react to each other when I got Nino, but they both did great, there was a little argueing on whoes food bowl was whoes. But now they know whoes is whoes. Buck I have had for longer and so he knows that I am the pack leader and that I am the dominate one and when he sees/senses Nino showing dominance, he corrects him by gently but yet firmly at the same time, nipping at his neck. He is basically showing him that that additute is not right, that he is disruptig the balance of the pack.
I appreciate whoever decides to read this and I apologize for it being long, its just when I get into talking about animals I can go on and on forever. I hope to be able to get to know you guys on here better!
Sincerly,
