This very handsome young man is Suka:
Suka is a typical husky. He is energetic, requiring lots of exercise, and prefers not to be alone. Suka likes to ulalate, or sing, rather than bark, though not very often. He needs to be leashed at all times, as huskies have a great sense of abandonment and will happily go wandering off with anyone or anything that seems interesting to them. He needs a firm but calm leader, and someone who is consistent in reminding him of rules, boundaries, and limitations; a fun 15-minute daily training session is a must.
Huskies need assertive humans who know how to lead, as they have little respect for weakness. Suka is playful and loving, and brings a smile to our faces every day with his antics. He gets on very well with other dogs but huskies are not known to be good around cats.
Suka (his name means 'flame' in Innuit) has beautiful copper-red and white colouring, and is in perfect health, having recently recovered from a mild skin disorder. Like other huskies, he needs daily brushing, but is naturally a very clean and free from body odour. He must not become overheated.
He has the capacity to become a fun and endearing addition to your household. Something you do need to know about Suka is that he was brought to us for rehabilitation for biting. It only took two days to fix that problem, though he is still learning how to overcome food guarding; the only times he has bitten since rehabilitation is when he got overexcited at feeding time and accidentally nipped the hand that was feeding him - no skin was broken, and it was not intentional, but you must be familiar with huskies and confident about training if you want a happy lifelong relationship with Suka, which he is more than capable of giving to the right person or family. I should add that Suka is very good around people and kids at all times other than when food is in his bowl, but we are fixing that currently.
He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. The Animals Taiwan holding centre staff have trained him to walk perfectly on a leash and sit for his food. He loves cuddles.
If you think you have what it takes to earn Suka's respect and bring out his ability to be the very best canine companion you could ever wish for, please send me a PM, or call me on 0920 620 109, or email me at seanXXX@XXXanimalstaiwan.org (deleted the X's) for more details.
Oh, and if you happen to have a wheelchair dog who needs a little hand over loose sand or up hills, Suka is always more than happy to show you what he was bred for:
Come and meet him today. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you!
Sean
