Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I'm actually not too sure if it's a Malamute trait or not. I think the same thing about huskies. I feel they're very unique compared to labs, but then again, we might be a little biased Lately I've been liking brown eyed huskies more and more. I feel like blue eyed ones are more common to see. She's pretty tall. Lycus is actually around 27 inches at the shoulder. I call him my sasquatch lol. As far as the bar on the right, that is meant for 'treats' on this forum. When somebody things you give either good or bad advice, they can give or take away a treat. Someone must have accidentally given you a bad treat, thus the red, but then it was fixed since there was no bad advice on that post, so they gave you a treat, thus showing the green. |

| Aha, makes sense. I was like there was really no advice here just some fun bantering about how huskies are so different. Yes we're biased but I can not atm think of another breed that can vary so much, color of coat, eyes, tail, coat length, etc.
I adore your guys eyes. On our neighbors husky, he looks mean or possessed at times with his blue eyes, funny how we see things a certain way. He's a great dog, not scared of him, just his look, and he is wooly and beautiful as well. I do prefer the lighter colored huskies, tho. He also doesn't have the up turn mouth like most do, where they look like they are smiling, that is one thing I look for in dogs and every cat I've had. Weird, I know, but I want to look at a happy pet not a frown. My girl has a happy face, same with Lycus, and a contagious smiling husky is Sarab's smaller husky, they both have it but the smaller one has the eye expression that's just too much for me, I want to hug that little dog, she almost looks like a stuffed animal. That's my girly girl going, sorry. I just love looking at the pics here, it's incredible how a husky puppy's coat changes as they grow too.
Btw, I wasn't putting labs down, I was going to say chihuahua dogs, but couldn't for the life of me remember how to spell it. Lol. Good to chat with ya again. Take care, Renee |

| Your discussion about a Husky's tail taken from the AKC web site: - Quote :
Tail: The well furred tail of fox-brush shape is set on just below the level of the topline, and is usually carried over the back in a graceful sickle curve when the dog is at attention. When carried up, the tail does not curl to either side of the body, nor does it snap flat against the back. A trailing tail is normal for the dog when in repose. Hair on the tail is of medium length and approximately the same length on top, sides and bottom, giving the appearance of a round brush. Faults - A snapped or tightly curled tail; highly plumed tail; tail set too low or too high. Like most dogs, the tail is probably the most expressive part of their anatomy - it can say a multitude of things! A husky's normal state is to have his (sexist, I know) tale hanging loose. At attention, expect it to be curled over their back. I could probably write a book about 'expressions' from their tails ... |

| HA! My Bartok is only a puppy and I am already learning the 'art of the tail' so to speak. When he is excited his tail curves up over his back and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. |
