I just depends on how well your husky gets along with other dogs and puppies. The only real way to know is to watch how well your husky interacts with other dogs. Then I would maybe take the husky with you and introduce the husky to the blue heeler. If they interact nicely then I say you could. Good luck. Ask the people who have the puppy if she is social and how well she gets along with others.

Since I never met either dog, I can't say. It is a big misake to expect all of a breed to be like the 1 or 2 you have met. I could tell you to stay clear of blue Heelers because my son in law's brother had one that was a problem and I have heard of someother problems too, but the ones I know of may be quite atypical.

Most 10 year olds will not welcome a puppy into the household. Puppies are energetic and want to play and bite. Most older dogs are past that. Our Aster has had to put up with 5 puppies moving in with us since she was 10 plus numerous visitors. We woirk at teaching the puppies to leave her alone. It takes a while, but eventually they learn.

Yah, but see even though she is 10 she still acts like a pup she still runs and howls and barks and wants to play and we don't all the time have time to do that with her. She has met the father of the blue heelers were looking at and they got along quite well. And plus my dog Tundra(the husky) grew up around several dogs living in the kennel since she lived with breeders. So I'm not sure what to think about it. Lol. I'm not exactly sure if I am going to get this pup. It's a surprise for my dad so its going to be hard to bring Tundra with me when I get the pup. Lol. But I'll try. Thank-You A Bunch!!

I hope you are planing on getting a male puppy. As it matures, you are far less likely to have problems with a male a female, than 2 females.

Yah I am planning on getting a male one. Because I've heard males and females get along better than 2 females so I'm hopefully going to get a puppy and if I do it will hopefully be a male.lol.

Personally, I think it would be better if you adopted a male dog from one of your shelters or rescues in the area. You can take all the time you need to test Tundra with any dog you think will fit in. Doing this will guarantee that you find the right partner for her. Why does it have to be a puppy? You are already having issues with one dog urinating in the house. Do you have the time to spend properly training a puppy? Just remember that it will take your attention and your time away from Tundra. Doing that usually creates more problems than you realize. I do rescue work and foster dogs and it is very difficult managing more than one dog if you haven't done this before. If you adopt and it doesn't work out, you can return the dog to the rescue group. You can't do that if you buy one. There are also Blue Heeler rescues out there if you are set on getting one. If you tell me the state you are in, I can link some rescues & shelters in your area. With all the dogs that are thrown away every year, adopting one will give you the satisfaction of knowing you have saved a life. It will also be cheaper than buying one from a breeder.
