    Talk to the local huskie rescue, they will be able to rehome them with people who have had huskies in the past and know their idiosyncrasies

    Even if you decided to keep the dogs, I would seriously recommend getting your girl desexed. The more heat cycles a female has, the greater the risk of her developing a pyometra. A pyometra is an infected uterus. During a heat cycle the cervix opens and bacteria can get in. The cervix then closes and the bacteria thrive and the entire uterus swells with pus. Often there is not even any discharge and a lot of the time the dog doesn't become symptomatic until it's too late. If the uterus bursts it's pretty much a death sentence I've seen many pyometras in my time at the clinic and it's heartbreaking. Also, the longer a female is undesexed, the greater her risk of developing mammary tumours as well.

    I second all the recommendations of contacting the breeder as a first point of call, and then a Husky specific rescue group. They understand Huskys and what they need in a home. Best of luck!
