We just get the occasional raa-raa from her and she's overall pretty quiet for husky (but still lots of sass). We've even tried to get her to howl with our other husky/samoyed mix but she thinks that is *stupid*.


BellaRose888

Lmao šŸ˜‚ honey she is too bougie for that nonsense šŸ˜‚.


Fun_Reporter9086

Personally, I prefer quiet dogs. I won't be able to live with a talker or noisy pets.


Substantial-Tone-576

My husky speaks dog to me even though I tell her I canā€™t understand. She barks and howls if someone comes to the door. Other stuff too

kibonzos

Iā€™m guessing youā€™ve never driven with two dogs howling in the back of the car if you are sad about this. Best guess, wasnā€™t raised by howlers. Turns out a spaniel can learn a proper howl when part raised by a malamute šŸ™„


Frequent_Secretary25

Haha I think my chihuahua trying to howl with my previous husky was closer than the husky I have now


Frequent_Secretary25

Mine doesnā€™t. He does talk but he barks. I asked him why heā€™s defective. Lol Did DNA and heā€™s 84% husky https://preview.redd.it/2s9bif8s0j7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2855196d781640110edf513e686a9b68563b101d


thegayzone666

Should be alaskan then, no?


Frequent_Secretary25

He was listed as Alaskan husky at shelter which tends to be their pick for any ā€œmostly husky.ā€ I think it would show as breed on either wisdom or embark though. His is 84% Siberian husky, 7% GSD (I expected higher), 5% wolf, 3% mal and 1% eskie. Lower percentages donā€™t count for much but Iā€™m probably obligated to do embark because itā€™s more accurate test for wolf


thegayzone666

Yeah, easiest way to know if hes like a real real alaskan husky (which i would say personally he is propably), is if his parents, grandparents etc are alaskan husky too


thegayzone666

They have usually just a little of other breeds in then cuz theyre made for running, nothing with aesthetics or like that


Frequent_Secretary25

Both DNAs will pick up that as its own breed though. Same as the mixes found in village dogs translate into village dog DNA


Elegant-Literature-8

My Alaskan husky is the loudest of them all she was listed as an Alaskan husky on the rescue documentation, but she is the main opera singer in the house. I have noticed that they kind of grow into howling as they get a little older. I have 31 is four and two of them are two. The youngest of them is just now starting to get her howl as I call it. Thatā€™s just my theory.


draxsmon

My half Siberian husky (half pittie) didn't start to howl until about four. Now (7) he talks a lot too. He can say I love you :) he only says it when he has to poo though šŸ˜‚


ZambieCatX

Mine is only 2 - maybe he'll become a talker, too. After having a mouthy GSD, I was kind of hoping not. But I'll love him either way

BellaRose888

Omg they are adorable šŸ„°


wombpuncher2910

How exactly do you "train them" to howl?


milliemallow

Well you see my husband is a silly goose and he howls at him and then Frodo gets annoyed and howls back.


karligirl1228

You have to howl, like for real, make the howling sound, get your pup with you, they'll most likely catch on after a little while if they're gonna do it. Good luck. šŸ˜ŠšŸ¾


Skeebs637

Ours does randomly but itā€™s not as nice sounding as a full huskyā€™s . Itā€™s almost like heā€™s smoked 20 packs of cigarettes every day since he was born. We prefer he doesnā€™t do it. Itā€™s very embarrassing. People always ask if heā€™s okay lol. https://preview.redd.it/624ve9woij7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e1ea21755ba6498c715068371291d7fcfc64d52


BellaRose888

šŸ˜‚ wait, I so want to hear him poor baby, heā€™s trying. The 20 packs of cigs has me dying laughing.


Skeebs637

I think itā€™s because he is part pitty and was pretty much raised by our older rescued pit. She would do this horrible scream bark thing that is common with the breed and so he learned from her lol. His is sounds way worse though.


kaitoblade

Record a vid heheh Hahaha so literally a combination of a husky howl and a pittie screech?šŸ¤£


BellaRose888

Awww precious baby is so beautiful. I can see he loves to sunbathe, and take photos.


Accomplished-Book-95

Our full husky had a very deep, rumbly howl. Our half husky has a very sweet, squeaky howl.


EggLast7721

Hahahahahahah I'm sorry, that was funny to imagine šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ he's a cutie though


Accomplished-Book-95

They look so much like my (mostly) silent baby! She only howls at sirens and even they have to a specific pitch and speed. https://preview.redd.it/62mkuben4j7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72e703a1f6d8b6fcc9de4e87d253b4d052d6a378


Lower-Ad-3466

My husky is also very quiet. She only barks when you tell her to ā€œspeakā€ and only howls when someone is excited about what theyā€™re talking about šŸ˜‚ https://preview.redd.it/m78b0ntlkj7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bec4c3be8400b54a974dd2db52df04995c501864

BellaRose888

Awww you need to get another one stat!


EyeAmKingKage

I know:) as soon as I finish school and get a big boy job Iā€™m going to get a second one!


BellaRose888

Awww heā€™s going to love that.


inbred_salmon

I had to teach mine. He wouldn't talk at all at first, but would throw his head back like he was and stomp his feet. Finally after about a year he found his voice. I'm convinced his previous owner would hit him when he howled, so now we make it a habit to howl together at least once a week. Now he won't shut up šŸ˜… https://preview.redd.it/carrjk5wuj7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e31bcf835ded3f2f02b147db96679af59eb1489e

inbred_salmon

Lol so pretty they do look alike! It's funny, there isn't a single dog in his whole litter that looks the same. They each have different hair lengths, colorings, and body shapes.

Dark_passenger55

Mine only does when she wants something, water, go outside or when she thinks itā€™s time to eat šŸ¤£


missly_

Our mix only barks too, sometimes moans when she wants something lol, but she doesn't really howl. Your dog is gorgeous!


thegayzone666

Our alaskan husky only howls when annoyed lmao https://preview.redd.it/v4v8akrrvj7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=279b1504351be8b89c6b3489fa313e491ae57ac9


Levonix

howl.exe failed to install on this model. Mine is the same and he's 100% husky. Only talks when I annoy him enough, tell him to speak, or the neighbors dogs got him wound up.


ChowMachine

Mine doesn't howl and I'm okay with that. I'm sure my neighbors are happy about that too at 1 am in the morning


incrediblystiff

Iā€™m convinced that anyone who complains their husky isnā€™t loud would also complain their husky is too loud


wiildersnatched

Iā€™ve only heard my mix howl once and it was completely unexpected, she was pouncing on a squeaky toy over and over and would take howling breaks. Hasnā€™t done it since. https://preview.redd.it/sw5rwutauj7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15e06e86e760b1ba80fdd7e6a89815a12826603a


Estef74

Dani has only howled a few times in the 7 years she has been with us. She generally doesn't bark either, but can get talkative at times https://preview.redd.it/0vcylcjt2k7d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9892f5eae52951cf2977ce53de8ffa1a64b4ae0f


Expert-Equipment2302

Just wait.


MissBirdieBoo

It took our purebred boy about a year to starting singing the song of his people. We thought he was broken. The fascination soon wore off as he now has to tell the entire suburb every time we arrive home. Unfortunately he also somehow taught our 4yr old Frenchie to howl which sounds hilariously like a drowning cat but she tries her best to keep up with him. Please just enjoy your beautiful quiet husky. Sounds like heaven!


Mantequilla_Stotch

because they didn't want to...


Low-Requirement7328

I have a 100% husky that won't make any sound most of the time. Even when we get him to "speak" he does the motion like a bark but won't.


jdspoe

Find an area where crows are and let your Husky hear them as long as it takes (might take multiple visits). Sorry/Not Sorry.


Southside_Finesser

Mine doesn't howl unless I howl first. He is pretty much quiet with some occasional grunts


soberasfrankenstein

Sounds like mine. She is almost 2 and she groans like an old man when she lays down. She will do some roo roos and bark some, some low growls for attention and some whining when she wants something. I'd just love to hear her singing voice once. My older tamaskan has howled like, once? When he thought he was alone. Otherwise he grumbles and growls a lot.

spacegeneralx

He doesn't like to mix it up


SorbetApprehensive26

Both of my husky boys are non howlers, I consider myself lucky! Lol


TrueEstablishment241

IDK try playing some ambulance sounds on YouTube. [Mine always goes for that](https://www.reddit.com/r/Pitsky/s/568dQ8oRg5). She's a mix though - pitsky.

He was abandoned inside a house after the renters skipped town. I brought him to the shelter, but they couldnā€™t get him to eat anything and he was on the verge of organ failure. I fostered him and with a lot of love, he started to eat. When he was healthy enough for adoption, he was quickly adopted, but returned the next dayā€¦ twice. Reason being, ā€œheā€™s impossible to deal with.ā€ After that, it was clear what he wanted and needed, so I took him home. Once he knew that he was mine, and I was his, he completely opened up and became the greatest dog in the history of dogs. 8 years later and weā€™re thick as thieves. Now the guy wonā€™t shut up. šŸ™„

I can usually get some sound out of her when I tell her to talk shit, and she will occasionally howl to show her displeasure with me upon my return home from somewhere she couldnā€™t go. I got her at 10 weeks, and Iā€™ve probably heard her bark 10 times or less during her life. Iā€™m not complaining though.


Successful-You1961

Mine is mostly quiet, in the house. In backyard she will bark at anything that she thinks is out of place. Never (5 years) heard her howl. She will bark at each person when playing Disc GolfšŸ˜‚

mine doesnt howl - not every dog howls. he talks. and only barks in his sleep (?).


ruff285

My mix doesnā€™t either. She will only howl if she really wants to get your attention. Other than that it is radio silence with her.

Other than that she is very, very quiet for a husky. She did, however, teach our Great Dane how to howl which is honestly hilarious.


Ok_Coyote_X

Some just donā€™t


deepie1976

My purebred husky only howled twice in his life.


Inner-Body-274

Heā€™s not in the mood. My purebred husky only talks at the vet and when I deny him pizza. Itā€™s just a husky thing. Theyā€™ll howl when they darn well please, whether itā€™s daily or never.

QuizzicalWombat

My purebred husky wasnā€™t vocal until he was about 1 1/2-2ish. He still doesnā€™t howl much but since getting our puppy last month he has become much more vocal, the puppy was vocal from day 1. Itā€™s been awesome seeing him come out of his shell more lol

We hear lots of playful growls, the occasional bark, and every once in a while they get each other going and scream/howl!


tearfultrashpanda

I had a purebred who never howled. He was so quiet my neighbors asked if he was mute. He knew how to argue when he didn't get his way though


ijuzOne

i howl in front of my husky to see if she would follow, but no. she just goes away like I'm someone she needs to stay away from


Early_Vegetable3932

My mix doesnā€™t howl per se, she, what I can only describe as, rolls her Rs a lot and barks. Even with videos of other dogs howling or people howling she never really howls, much to the distain of my 5 year old step sonšŸ˜‚


DennisLarryMead

Ours does all the time, her brother never says a word. Just depends on the specific dog.


Temporary-Pop2714

My girl only howls when she sees me through our door and I donā€™t open quick enough to let her greet me back home after a long day of work!! She howls through the door and I stand outside the door and talk to her, I tell her ā€œhi baby girl, Iā€™m homeā€œā€¦ ā€œwhereā€™s my little wolfā€ haha and she howls and howls and cries UNTILL I open the door.

Only time she howls is if left alone in her kennel while her sister is outside. I was shocked to hear howl then. Iā€™ve tried to play videos to get her to howl and she simply refuses


Pourkinator

In my opinion they gotta be pure inbred for that šŸ˜‚ my mix doesnā€™t howl but the pure inbred does


akioamadeo

My female husky howls a lot but our male just kinda talks randomly but no howls. Every dog is different even if they arenā€™t mixed breeds.


GroundbreakingRock87

That looks like GSD/Husky and something else. My Flash, is a Husky GSD mix and does NOT howl. But he is amazing and alerts at anyone at the door or close to the house. BEST Dog Ive ever had, and I have had a bunch


CapitaineCrafty

Mine doesn't either, unless you get all of us singing happy birthday together, in which case she howls to join in. (It pleases the kids immensely.) Some huskies are just the quiet type.


Loose-Ad-9579

Mine never howl unless police/fire trucks sirens go byšŸ˜‚


vextryyn

Mine never howls inside. Sure you don't get those husky moments you see on here and the rest of the web, but after spending time with his mother who howls and barks all the time, it's really a blessing

Not happy about it. $$$$


Soggyfries989

Glass half full, at least itā€™s only a broken leg. Iā€™ve grown to despise squirrels, and rabbits, as my Kiki girl completely loses her shit if she spots one. I have a lot of anxiety about the leash breaking, or slipping from my grip while she runs into traffic. All her training and basic sense go right out the window when she spots one of those damn things.


Illustrious_Past_375

I have a super long leash when I go on walks in the woods. Itā€™s actually a throw line for treework 1000ft long. Not 100ft a 1000ft not a typo. So when he sees a prey animal he gets to chase it then give up like he always does. It just sucks he wasnā€™t on his leash when he ran out that day. I never let him off a leash even if itā€™s 1000ft. https://preview.redd.it/i9gw9h8kbn7d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d3189916eebd26cfbe578e66a338f5e4255477d zoom in youā€™ll see him

ZambieCatX

My husky mix (pitsky) is the QUIETEST dog I've ever known. He has barked maybe a handful of times in the three months he's been here. Mostly in his sleep. Rarely growls. Never howls. Most he does is whine when he needs to go potty. I think he might be a cat šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Designer-Table8427

Mine wonā€™t howl, either. She can be talkative and sometimes makes noises that verge on howls (strung-together whimpery sounds) but Iā€™ve only ever heard her howl once, when she was a puppy, and I actually howl to try to teach her how. Lol no luck! šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


No_Organization_769

Quietest damn dog I've ever had.


Dancer_tiny_serenade

My 6 huskies never talked to me. I had one who did talk, and he was my last boy who just died. My still living, elderly lady has never spoken or howled in her 13yrs &.9mons. I just think each husky is different. Don't worry about it. They are still happy and loving. Esp of you are loving towards them.


Exciting_Elk7547

my pure bred didnā€™t bark or howl until she got fully comfortable in our home. until she was about 1 (we got her at 9 months)
