Best Bully Sticks thinks you should start off your weekend right! This Adorable Video of a Mama Husky and her pup, playing will do just that. Enjoy & have a great weekend!

We always love getting emails from our customers & readers asking us to feature their dog or favorite breed for our Best Bully Sticks Spotlight on a Breed blog series every Thursday. As always we are honored to oblige. We are excited to spotlight the Kai (aka Tiger Dog).

Height: (M): 45 - 60 lb, (F): 35 - 50 lb

Weight: (M): 21 - 23.5", (F): 20 - 22"

Coat: Huskies have a double coat that features medium-length hair. The top coat is straight and the undercoat feels soft and dense.

Color: Huskies come in a variety of colors and markings, from black to pure white, gray and white with colored markings on the body that include reds and coppers. Their eyes can be brown, blue, or a combination. Their faces sport masks that add to their eye appeal.

Appearance: Siberian Huskies are medium-sized, graceful members of the Working Group with a distinct wolf-like appearance. Siberians have a double-layered, medium length coat which acts as insulation against both cold and heat. The dog's fur is usually black and white, gray and white, copper-red and white, or pure white. The breed often has white paws and legs in addition to unique markings on the face. The brush tail is covered by thick fur and is sometimes carried in a sickle-shaped curve over the dog's back. The Siberian Husky has triangular, erect ears and beautiful eyes that can be brown, hazel, blue, or a combination of these colors. Siberian Huskies have strong chests and backs, well-muscled upper thighs, and are known for being athletic, elegant dogs.

Temperament: Siberian Huskies are typically friendly, calm, attentive, and sociable. Like many other Working Dogs, though, they can be very independent and hard to manage. An experienced owner capable of firm training is a must. Siberian Huskies are very intelligent and respond well to training, which should begin at a young age. Although Huskies do not bark much, they are prone to whining and vocalizing a “yowl” sound – this can be stamped out through good training. Because of their friendly and inquisitive nature and their reluctance to bark, Siberian Huskies make poor watchdogs. They tend to be very gentle with small children.

Health: The average lifespan of this breed is between 11-13 years. Huskies are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they're prone to certain health conditions. Not all Huskies will get any or all of these diseases, but it's important to be aware of them if you're considering this breed. Huskies are prone to hip dysplasia , elbow dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and von Willebrand's disease.

We here at Best Bully Sticks are always excited to get chew-monials from tail wagging fans & customers. So, if you can image we leaped for joy when we received a virtual hug in the form of a letter from our friends at Husky Camp, a Siberian Husky Rescue. They were one of our five winners for of our last months Best Bully Sticks $3000 Fish Stix Favorite Dog Rescue Giveaway as a way to reward deserving rescues, shelters and their dogs. So, we want to send a heartfelt thanks to ever one you nominated & voted for their favorite shelter. Paws up to you & all the rescues and shelters who make a difference each day in the lives of deserving animals. Don't forget to support your local animal shelter & rescue and open up your heart & home to a pet in need of adoption.

Dear Best Bully Sticks-

We wanted to thank you for your generous donation of Fish Sticks to our Siberian Husky Rescue. It was an honor to see the support that we must have for our rescue and we thank all of our loyal supporters. As you can see from the attached photos, they were well received and enjoyed by everyone! Before we even opened the box, it became a chew toy… so we knew they’d love them, and we were right.. they’re a big hit around here!

I also included a photo of one of our foster dogs who is recovering from hip and leg surgery. “Big Roo” as we call him (he hops around on one back leg) is a young Malamute who was presumably hit by a car and then picked up by an animal shelter that didn’t do anything to fix him. When we got a hold of him he was in a lot of pain and needed major surgery and pins in his hip to save his broken leg. He is only 9 months old and has a lot of energy, so recovery has been tough. He has to be confined so that the other dogs don’t play with him or get up and try to do too much. He has “crate fever” and gets a little crazy.

We have found that we can toss him a Bully Stick from Best Bully Sticks and it calms him down and takes out some of his anxiety and allows him to get his much needed rest. The more we can keep him resting, the faster he can recover and the Bully Sticks have been a tremendous help in that. Thank you again for your support of rescue, it means a lot to us.

Sincerely,

Kevin Marlin
