You will not find a Husky at that price anywhere other than a shelter maybe. Even rescues will have an adoption fee averaging $200.00, higher for pups, lower for adult dogs. And if all you can afford is $100.00 maybe you should reconsider the dog thing altogether. What you pay to get it is nothing compared to what it will cost with vet bills,food etc afterwards.
Ask yourself, why do you want a Husky? Because of a couple of movies maybe? It doesn't sound as if you have done enough homework on the breed. They are NOT ';starter'; dogs by any stretch of the imagination. They REQUIRE a very experienced owner!
Huskies are a special breed that most definitely is not for everyone. Yes, they are beautiful. Everybody loves them until they get one and find out how much work they really are. And they have many good points as well as bad.
Some of the good points:
1. They love all people of all ages.
2. They love company.
3. They are extremely intelligent.
4. They are easygoing and forgiving.
5. They are clean with little or no “doggy” smell. Some people who are allergic to other breeds can live with Huskies.
6. They are generally quiet. They rarely bark except in playing, but will “talk”
or howl like their wolf ancestors for no reason.
7. They don’t require a lot of food. (get good fuel mileage)
8. They are honest. Their body language and voice can be taken at face value
9. They are not fussy eaters and will eat pretty much anything that doesn’t eat them first. But they do require a proper diet. (see # 6 below)
10. They usually get along with other well adjusted canines but they will take up a challenge if offered.
Some of the bad points:
1. They love people …. any people. This is sometimes seen as a lack of loyalty.
2. I do not believe that there is a type of dog that could be friendlier than a Husky. A Husky may alert you by his actions (running to a door or window etc) but he is not a watchdog by any stretch if the imagination. On the contrary, he will invite the bad guy in and show him where the good stuff is. And then help carry it out! It's in the breeding and I doubt that you can train them otherwise. Even if you abuse them (we have several that were very abused) they do not become mean ... they will just shy away from you. It's possible that they may (or may not) defend you against an attacker (more likely with an animal attacker). He very well may be a deterrent to someone looking to do bad stuff .... a “hungry wolf looking” dog looking back at them through the window ....
3. They have a STRONG desire to run. This was bred into them over many hundreds of generations. It cannot be trained out of them in a few months of obedience classes. They MUST be kept in a secure area. And taken out in open areas on a leash. They are escape artists like a hairy Houdini. They have been known to jump or climb over 6 foot fences. If they can’t go over it they will go under it.
4. They are extremely intelligent and mischievous. You have to be smarter than they are to stay ahead of them. Don’t laugh. It’s true, they are smarter than
most people.
5. They are too independent and strong willed to make it through obedience training. (see # 4 above). They will know and understand the command but if they don’t see the point in carrying it out they won’t.
6. They are very keen and efficient hunter / killers.
7. They must be kept occupied. A BORED HUSKY IS A DESTRUCTIVE HUSKY! (see # 10 on below)
8. They shed. A LOT! Year round. Then twice a year or more they will “blow” their coats. This takes shedding to a whole new level.
9. They dig …. A LOT! You could rent your yard to NASA to train astronauts on.
10. They play ROUGH! Very rough. And they sometimes can draw blood. But it is still play.
11. They need company, either human or canine and will be miserable without it. Though they can survive outdoors they really need to be inside with their “pack”……. YOU!
12. They can live 12 to 14 years. Maybe longer. This is not a bad thing. But can YOU live with a 2 year old that long? That’s what it’s like with a Husky in your life.
Again DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Know what you are getting yourself into. If you can't handle the challenge unfortunately it will be the Husky that pays the price.
If you do decide that you can handle the challenge, go through a rescue group. DON'T go to a pet shop or a back yard breeder.
25 years of being owned by Siberian Huskies. I currently have 14 Huskies most of whom were rescued by us from people who didn’t know what they were getting intoWhere Can I Find Siberian Husky Puppies for Sale In norco CA or please read?
why do you sound so desperate? are you planning on breeding them? have you ever had a husky before? they are a handful! and why don't you first check out the local animal shelter. they come w/their shots up to date and are spayed and neutered.
Please do your research on this breed before you decide to get one. They are not the breed for everyone.
Among other things, they are destructive and noisy if they are bored/unexercised, CANNOT be allowed loose (off lead or outside a fenced yard), shed profusely, will kill small animals, and must have constant companionship in order to be happy.
They are very friendly, and certainly very pretty, but they are not for the novice dog owner.
I can tell you right now that you will NOT find a quality, well-bred Siberian puppy for $100 in California, or anywhere else. Your best option would be rescue, and only if you were certain you could deal with the breed.

You aren't going to find a husky puppy for that price. If you add $80 to that hundred you can adopt from rescue. I actually live in a city close to you and we have some great responsible breeders but we also have too many BYB's and mass production breeders too. The Americas Family Pet Expo is next weekend. Come by and meet the breed, come and watch our mushing and activity demo that we do with many different breeds as well. Make sure you learn about the breed. As far as rescue we don't place puppies as only dogs and we don't place puppies without husky experience, if they are already in rescue they have already started bouncing around and our goal is to stop that bouncing. This is a breed with a high activity level, a high prey drive, they are experienced escape artists. This is a breed that is considered to be for experienced dog owners and it is very true. Yes they are one of the most beautiful dogs you will ever see, but it also comes with a lot of other qualities that many don't like.
Look in shelters like crazy. Search online for breeders near you, trust me it will be REALLY hard to find a breeder that sells pure bred puppies for 100$. Also look on petfinder.com
