  • Cool Facts about The Siberian Husky

    Petland always has Siberian Husky puppies for sale, check them out on our available puppies page, by clicking here!

    In the meantime, take a look at some interesting facts about this majestic breed.

    What’s more striking about the Siberian Husky? Is it their big and fluffy coat or their piercing blue eyes?  Maybe it’s both!

    Husky puppies have double coats which allow them to be warm in the winter. They have an undercoat that is short and keeps their bodies warm and insulated in cold climates. Their overcoat is very long and water-resistant, so when their romping and playing in the snow, it will fall off of them.

    Those piercing blue eyes serve the cold too. Because of their almond shapes, it allows Huskie puppies to squint to keep out the cold, snow, and ice. They are still able to see, however!

    Speaking of their blue eyes, this is not a result of a genetic malfunction as with other dogs with blue eyes. This is actually a physical trait unique to Siberian Huskies.

    They are natural born runners.

    Siberian Husky puppies were born as a result of creating the ideal sled dog. It is said they were closely related to the original Chukchi dogs of Siberia. This eventual creation of Husky puppies resulted in a dog that can run hundreds of miles a day, while still being able to tolerate the harsh cold and maintain their energy and stamina. They can regulate their own metabolism. Somehow Huskies burn through calories and never experience fatigue.

    These are just a few facts about Siberian Husky puppies, and there are tons more. If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to contact us today. You can also stop by our store and speak to one of our knowledgeable onsite pet counselors. They can help you decide if the Husky is a good fit for your family.

Make sure that your Pomsky puppies eat high-quality food and are exercised regularly. They are pretty playful and energetic dogs, so they should be able to burn off their energy.

    Pomsky puppies fall into the category of dogs who are highly intelligent. These beauties respond very well to training.

    • In addition to their keen rescue abilities, they are also instinctively good watchdogs. They are great at sensing danger and will alert their families accordingly.

     

    • Always monitor your Saint Bernard puppies during the summer months. They simply can’t handle the extreme changes in temperature.

     

    • If you can believe it, the Saint actually requires minimal exercise, so they are great as apartment dogs (if you have the space of course)!

     

    • In addition to being great with kids, they also get along swimmingly well with other pets.

     

    • In the sequel to the movie Beethoven, the Saint mated with another Saint producing a litter of Saint Bernard puppies. They apparently grew so fast that it required the production team of the movie to use over 100 different Saint Bernard puppies to finish filming the movie!

  • Types of Rottweiler Dogs

    We bet you thought you already knew about Rottweilers and assumed there was just one type.

    Well, there are more than one. Let’s explore the world of Rottweiler puppies by delving into the various types of this powerful breed of dog that exists!

    German Rottweilers

    The German Rottweiler comes from – you guessed it – Germany! They differ from American Rottweiler puppies because the Rottweiler Club of Germany selectively breeds them. German Rottweilers are bred to be working dogs, and this is a task that is taken very seriously in Germany. Germans only allow specific dogs to produce. Each dog is required to meet and pass a stringent physical, as well as a temperamental test, and there are stipulations before their owners can breed them. Because of this, German Rottweiler puppies typically exhibit consistent temperaments and personalities.

    American Rottweilers

    These Rottweiler puppies are bred and born in the United States. Unlike the breeding in Germany, American Rottweilers are generally produced for their handsome and striking looks and not for working. American Rottweilers accepted by the American Kennel Club are considered to be purebred dogs.

    Roman Rottweilers

    Roman Rottweilers are massive and developed through selective breeding, and they don’t have Roman roots. They resemble the size of a Mastiff dog, but their coat and other physical appearances are that of American or German Rottweilers. Unfortunately, because of their grand size, they are very prone to suffering from hip dysplasia, among other orthopedic concerns.

    Tailed Rottweilers

    Many Rottweiler puppies are actually born with a tail, but they are docked shortly after that. The tailed Rottie is making a comeback, so to speak! They have been spotted more and more in recent years. In Germany, the practice of tail docking has been banned since 1999, however.

    All Rottweilers have the same brown and black distinctive coats, and they possess large heads with alluring brown eyes! These are certain standards that will never change!
