We've been lucky so far. The 2 people who've put deposits down are perfect owners. We've got someone coming today who we're not 100% about and it's tough to know how to handle it. Don't want to be too judgmental as we had no idea about huskies before we got ours and made tons of mistakes along the way. On the other hand, the sooner the better as the puppies are now on solid food and poo every 10 seconds 🤯🤯 🤣🤣

Oh that's good to read. I remember encountering such a situation where I had a bad feeling about people and had to tell them we would get back to them. Eventually we voted against it as there were other people we had a good feeling with. Follow your gut is the best advice I guess, I'd never send a pup home with someone that didn't feel too great.
Too many dog owners suck at it honestly, and with shepherds and I think huskies even more so as they need so be able to lose their energy. I was one of these too young dog owners who got lured in by the boyfriend at the time and his family, who had a shepherd (the easiest one out there and definitely not your typical Belgian shepherd, lol) and they made me believe they knew how to deal with them.
Then we moved into a tiny apartment (way too small for such a big dog) with quite a few behavioural issues as it was a stray before ending in the shelter. She was the sweetest dog but it was clear over time that my boyfriend back then surely didn't know a damn thing about the breed and I was the one trying to correct things. This only works if both parties word on that, which (you can guess) didn't happen.
I learned from this experience that it's not just a choice to make overnight and I surely wasn't going to hand out her pups without any thought about where they ended up. I constantly see people with dogs where you can already see, these dogs are in control, not the owner. I love reading how you are considering who adopts them <3
And yes! A lot of poo isn't it haha.
