Yorkie killed by Husky at local PetSmart - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

That is so sad. That poor girl.

I had Huskies growing up and consider it more instinct than aggression. They have a very strong prey instinct and are known for going after small animals including small dogs sometimes. It is how they survived in very harsh conditions. Not to make light of it in any way but it is like prancing a bunch of rats or squirrels in front of our yorkies. Some of them would attack and kill.

It is the Huskie owner's fault for not knowing more about the breed.

Please don't lump all huskies in the same group. I've met some really prescious Huskies. Unfortunatly for whatever reason this tragedy happened, which could have happened with any breed of dog. I'm sure the owner of the Husky is hurting too from this incident.

WE used to raise Malamutes Never had a husky but along the same lines,they were the biggest teddy bears never had a aggressive one .I also think it is the pet owners fault and they should be very careful so it does not happen again which is very likely.That is very sad.

My fiance wants a husky, so I did some research and I read about that how they aren't good with small dogs/cats because of their instinct. As soon as I read that I was like no thank you, not with my yories! I'm sure some are really good with smaller dogs, but I didn't want to risk it.
