For the delusional, idiotic, weird or funny online marketplace posts.
Poor thing, he deserves better.
With a bad behaving Husky at that age probably only a shock collar is the only thing that would work. Unless you have all the free time in the world and can run or mush with him for miles a day to tire him out before you retrain him. Also $600? Probably stolen
Dunno where this seller is but, here in Australia, pure-bred Husky pups go for $1500-$2000. $600 may still be a bargain, depending on the dog's lineage.
There's a biiiig difference between a husky pup vs a (poorly trained, somewhat dangerous) 4 year old husky. There's also a big difference between buying from a breeder vs buying from a random person from an online marketplace. The price you mentioned seems accurate for a husky pup from an established breeder. A 4 year old husky maybe could be sold for a few hundred on an online marketplace. One that is described as poorly trained likely would be hard to sell for $100.
Owning a husky in Australia is animal abuse imo. They need lots of outside time, and they're built for the cold. Bad combo in Aus.
Australia is big. Northern Queensland might be a bad idea, but Tasmania could be suitable.
Yeah, I've got a mate with a husky. He's always had huskies. Admittedly we have cooler climate here in Melbourne than other parts of Australia, but I could never figure it out. Don't get me wrong - he takes excellent care of them. They're his only family, really, but the effort he has to go to is much higher than I've seen for just about any other breed.
Cutting his nads off would solve a lot of problems, I think.
Neutering a dog isn't a short cut to training it. Especially when they are more than a few years old.
Nah, by 4 that husky is already an asshole. They are amazingly hard to train for dogs as clever as they are you need to start young, desex young and train thoroughly. He is maybe useful as a breeding stud, his balls are the only valuable thing about him.
The world has enough dogs without yet another backyard breeder playing Dr. Moreau.
Agreed. But the only reason a poorly trained 4yo husky might be worth $600 is if you're a breeder. Otherwise thats a dog that should be free to good home, because the first one failed pretty badly.
Yeah, great idea to breed the aggressive dog.
This dog will be dead within 6 months, i guarantee it. Either by the authoities or by the owners who would rather murder them than deawith them.l
