Unfortunately, the UK is increasingly seeing large numbers of "breeders" who are breeding for money alone, without any consideration for the health and welfare of the breed. In the last 6 months or so, we have rehomed 20+ rescue Siberian Huskies (all neutered) bred by such people - most of them from unregistered litters. In most cases the dogs have been in good health and with reasonable temperaments (we keep them with us for at least a fortnight to see how well or badly they are socialised, whether they are good with children etc), but this has been luck rather than judgement. In some cases the dogs have been rescued from "kill-shelters" (ie dog charities where dogs are put to sleep if they are not rehomed within a certain time.) The vast majority of the dogs which have come into rescue are unregistered dogs bred without health checks by "breeders" concerned more about money than the breed. So - CAVEAT EMPTOR (Buyer
Beware!!!) - if you are interested in buying a Siberian Husky, please be aware
that there are some very unscrupulous people out there quite happy to sell you
an ill-bred, unsocialised, poor quality puppy from un-health-tested parents.
