Another puppy not microchipped as per LEGAL requirement you think as well when will people learn
This puppy was chipped, got his first shot and declared healthy by a vet.

Health testing should be carried out on the parents before breeding so that genetic issues can be eradicated from the breeding process ensuring the pups do not suffer from certain genetic health issues. All breeds are predisposed to a selection of illnesses/defects that can be eliminated by selective breeding. A vet check is not the same thing, some of the tests are extremely expensive,

I am totally amazed a vet would not be disturbed by a 6 week old puppy being sold like that, as I said I am sure it is illegal.
Health testing is expensive, yes, but I think puppies suffering and being unable to walk, going blind at an early age, or being born blind is far more expensive in terms of moral responsibility. Lets face it, if these types of puppies are being sold at anything up to £2k each then the cost of health testing the parents once for the relevant problems is far outweighed, one puppy would more than cover it

True and reputable breeders breed because they want a pup for themselves so are motivated to ensure they are as healthy as possible.

I wouldn't like to think I was responsible for any puppy I bred being in pain or suffering just because I didn't care enough to cover the bases that were feasible.

All the pulling apart of breeding practices are going to do nothing to help this young lady to deal with the pup - which she already has - who she is struggling with.

Finnthepomsky, have you had chance to try any of the suggested techniques? Don't be afraid to keep asking for advice. If you struggle with one technique, there are others that may suit. Finding what works for you is the important thing

Proper training classes, attended every week, and her putting it into practice for 10 minutes every day is what is needed

Two very different dogs in there... Huskies are very high energy and need to be doing something - not necessarily active since he's only a pup you don't want to over do it and risk doing some damage. Mental stimulation is best so various training in the garden or in classes to start with and then practise in parks and on walks. Everything is nice and easy at this age, and FUN more importantly! It'll be hard to tell which breed he takes characteristics from.
I think what maybe throws people here is that it's not really a cross that benefits either breed. It's each to their own of course and please don't let it discourage you. Enjoy your puppy as he will no doubt be lovely.
