Hi! Just wondering if any of you guys can confirm that my neighbors dog is in fact a husky. Or if not what she could be mixed with. She looks to have the same body type as mine (although a bit rounder midsection, but that could be from having puppies). The owners swear she is full blooded(agouti) but I am just not sure. She does have a double coat and all the banding on her fur. She is also very malnourished so Im sure with proper care she would be a bit prettier. Just looking for some feedback because it's driving me crazy. Lol

The only way to definitively say one way or another is to have a dna test done. I have used both Wisdom Panel and Embark. Wisdom is cheaper.

I generally lean toward her not being full-blooded. The saddle pattern on her back and the ears suggest there could be some amount of shepherd in there. That doesn't mean she might not come back pure. I have a pure husky that looks like a white german shepherd and he is way larger than any husky should ever be. When it comes to low-quality and out of standard dogs a dna test is the only sure way to know.

Thank you for your reply. I see what you're saying about her ears. I wish I had the throw away cash to get her tested. Maybe one day if she still comes to visit my dog. She's just the sweetest thing and my dog (a male) is obsessed with her. Maybe theyll have a sale on tests for black friday. Lol

They do run sales occasionally.

She looks alot like squirt
