Hi there! Congradulations on your choice of doggies! Years ago one of the sweetest dogs I've owned was a Siberian bitch...Kavik! I brought her into a house with an adult cat. Previously I had had a little dog of unknown heritage. The cat had accepted that pup but when Skokie (the mutt) died, the cat really wanted nothing to do with another dog! ( the cat had scratched Kavik in the eye and Kavik lost some vision...but Kavik always loved Charlie) Needless to say, ferrets arent cats! Your ferret will most likely bond very quickly with your new pup! Siberian huskies can be quite nasty with small animals., Ie: My sibe would eat groundhogs, rabbits and even tried to eat a porcupine! (I had an enormous vet bill for that) Siberian Huskies can also be bad for killing cats and eating them! Don't panic! My siberian was raised with a cat...and absolutely adored cats! We had to get another cat when Charlie ran away after a big move. Kavik would destroy the house! As soon as we brought home another kitten she was in her glory! I rescued some young kittens once...kept them in a box under the bed( still being seringe fed due to young age) I came home one day to find Kavik had pulled the box out from under the bed and she was lying on the floor with all the little kittens crawling over her! Whatever the dog is raised with it will see as a friend. Siberians are gentle dogs but they can't help it if small animals seem to be food to them!! Take your puppy around and introduce it to other small critters...friend's new kitten etc! I have little doubt that your ferret will love your new puppy! Siberians have lovely fur to play in and are gentle and tolerable to all kinds of crimes commited by ferret rough housing! Siberians are also very trustworthy with children (and anyone who wants to break into your house..hahah) One little hint with huskies....definately buy a kennel/crate for her! Huskies can be a challenge to housebreak without one! ) ONce the puppy is fully housebroken....and past the "eat your house" stage.....only then consider leaving her loose when your not at home!! I have found that if you never allow a bad habit to form in the early years, then you will have a wonderfully behaved companion! By the way, what a lovely duo they will make...one who is a bit smellie and one who smells like a powder puff...Unless wet of course!! Deb and Troop! [Posted in FML issue 2262]
