A lot of new moms who has bought a Siberian husky from us call me asking if huskies are good with kids. I get this question all the time. They have a grown Siberian husky in the house and now they are expecting a baby. It becomes a concern for the soon to be moms and who could blame them. Huskies usually play rowdy in the house. The good news is they are very good with children. That’s if you have taught your husky not to be food aggressive or possessive with toys. No small children should ever be left unsupervised with any dog. Don’t allow your kids to poke, pull, or hit your husky. Even though they have a good temperament they feel pain just like we do and could feel the need to defend its self.
I have watched our house husky be so gentle and watchful over our grand babies. When they come to visit she rarely leaves their side. I have a lot of moms send me pictures of their newborns and their huskies. They can’t believe how sweet the husky is being with the new baby. They will of coarse be curious at first. I have even been told that some try to get up in the baby bed and lay with the baby. Huskies in general get along with people and other dogs. Being pack animals they actually don’t do well left alone for long periods of time. Huskies and kids are both full of energy and will be a good fit together as long as you use some common sense. They will grow up having a close bond and be best friends. They will have the most fun running and ripping through the back yard on those sunny pretty days. It may be the best way to get your kids outside and exercising.
