When, Where and How I Got My Siberian Husky
Isabella is 11 months old and purchased and shipped by air from North Carolina when she was 8 weeks old. She is very, very shy and not at all aggressive. She seldom barks and is very quiet. She does not like the outdoors as even strange noises scare her. The sad part is that her front paws are turning out at the joint, she has a rare genetic defect. Her leg bones have cysts in them and one bone is longer than the other. We are consulting university vets and orthopaedic vets and so far no one is familiar with this problem. We would appreciate any information if someone has had a dog with this problem.
I'd Describe My Dog As…
Isabella loves me and my daughter and her son, but is not easily accepting of other people. However, she immediately takes to young children. She is so smart she figured out how to open the door on her kennel. She is snow white, dark grey and sable, with blue, blue eyes. For a Husky she is slender and weighs only 45 lbs. She has been very easy to train and housebreak. She does not like to get dirty and keeps herself very clean. Her fur seems to shed any dirt that gets on it.
