Cheers all. I will have him secured in a puppy pen if you will for the first few weeks and take him outside every day - we have a good size back yard with a huge alfresco area and lot of land. Our fences are high enough so I doubt he will escape for the time being :laugh: Will work on a good routine and ensure that he is capable of being alone whilst we are away as well Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback

I've done a lot of reading as to huskies being sent away back to rescues - we won't be doing that! Just curious as to people's methods of keeping them occupied and out of trouble when your not home, I mean I can't be there 24/7 I doubt anyone can

Thanks for all the feedback Quick question - do you all leave your pups/dogs indoors or outside when you leave for work? I'm just a little concerned about destruction but then leaving him outside in a kennel seems a bit rough

Thank you both for that. Builds our confidence that we can do it too! Was very nervous about leaving him alone once we head to work but we can make it work. Hoping to hear back from a breeder soon regarding December availability.

Hi, I've had this discussion previously though now we are about a month from deciding on what we are going to do. My partner and I want to adopt a husky pup- we have done extensive, extensive research - reading online, watching countless videos and YouTube about the breed etc I'll be looking to adopt in December but I just want to make sure our lifestyle will suit and help us the pup in a good environment. In December I'll have 3.5 weeks off annual leave, so I can spend a lot of time when we get him which will take him from 8 weeks old to almost 12 weeks. My partner works approx 10 mins from our home, though I work about 1 hour away so will be away all day. My major concerns are once I return to work how he will be on his own I do have my mum who can look after him around lunch time for a couple of hours and my partner gets home at 5pm and there are times I can get back home between 5-7pm I've looked into a puppy day care though I'm not sure if he would be old enough to be left there after lunch? We both have time to walk him before and after work, I have an area in the house (laundry and living room) where he can hang out all day and we have a park literally outside our house. What are everyone's thoughts? Are our circumstances ok to adopt - not sure how people who work full time have puppies but we want to try.

Great thank you all for the feedback. Makes my decision to get a pup a lot easier, I'll have around 2-3 weeks of leave where we will be able to spend the time with the pup Thanks again

Awesome thanks for the replies. I'll take more time off when we get him around 3 weeks which should be plenty of time hopefully to acclimatise to our house. My only concern is going potty once I'm back at work.

Hi, New to the forum. We are looking at a husky puppy and will be in a situation where we both work full time jobs I will be looking to adopt in December this year and will however take 2-3 weeks off work to adjust the pup to the home. He will have the laundry as his home base if you will and can roam around the house as well as using outside where I will have a kennel which is fenced off with 8 foot fencing. Unfortunately after that period is done I'll be back at work 9-5. We have plenty of time for excersise before and after work. My concern is leaving him at home for that period of time. I'll most likely leave him outside so he can do his business and have a space to lay down. We will have 8 foot fences and it's all closed in. Thoughts? I'd leave him inside but I fear he will pee every where! How do people who work full time jobs manage? I can ask my mother to drop by during lunch but I can't rely on her always.
