It needs also to be checked over by a vet, as I've also known dogs
that are ill exhibit this kind of behaviour due one supposes to pain
or insecurity.

Its just a husky being a husky.


I'm not sure that "it's just a husky being a husky" is an excuse, if the
behaviour is *interpreted* as being threatening by other people. Other
people aren't to know that a dog that is barking and straining at its
lead only wants to "lick you to death" and not to bite you. Even if the
dog didn't bite, it could knock over a child in its sheer exuberance to
make friends.

That's a slippery slope, that's already been done to death by 'minority'
interests who claim that what counts are not the facts of the case, but
how they FEEL about the facts..

I mean us poor men feel sexually abused every time a women glances at
our crotches, or puts on predatory makeup... ;-)


It sounds as if the owners of the dog have got a real handful and aren't
able to keep it in control. Yes, the owners should train it to calm
down, but many of the largest, most threatening dogs are owned by the
people who are least likely to take kindly to being recommended to train
their dog. I hesitate to use the c--v word :-)


I cant think of a single word in the English language that ends in
'v'...Slavic perhaps...


But you and every one else knows exactly what he means.
