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. |

| Hi MoonSadow and Shadow! Pretty pup you have there. I hope you don't mind, I edited your message to bring the pictures in-line in your message.
Factually, it's obvious that she's older, let's say, than 1.5 years. By then all growth pates will be closed - and Shadows forelimbs appear to me to be closed - meaning she's not going to get any taller, she may however get heavier as her bulk (muscle mass) increases. (Explanation: in a young dog there would be an obvious "bump" just above her "ankles" that are responsible for leg growth. Since there are no visible bumps there, it's safe to assume she's stopped growing and it's safe to assume that she's at least 1.5-2 years old.)
Activity levels are really dependent on a couple of things. The dogs own personality is one and the activity level of the owner is another. I'm a very layed back (at 70, I'd better be!) and relaxed person and my dogs generally, are very relaxed and calm.
Some dogs are "in your face, let's go!" from puppyhood and others simply don't appear to care. If you're lazing around, it's a safe bet your pup will be also. If you're super active and meet with friends who are also, it's a safe bet that your dog will be considerably more active (than mine ...)
And finally, the response to your question, the ONLY way to actually determine whether she's a "real husky" or not would be a DNA test (and even those would probably show other breeds as well). She looks about as much like a Husky as I'd want to see, so I'd say yeas, she's either a 100% Husky or real close. _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| Thanks, newbie mistake. Would you say she is a siberian husky though? (based on her presentation) |

| I realized I hadn't answered that so while you were typing I went back and edited my response. Yep, I'd say she is. _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| You would be surprised how many people think a husky is mixed just cuz they have brown eyes instead of blue and even more so when they are bi-eyed . I'm blown away sometimes by it. Your pup looks full husky to me. |

| Agree with above comments. She looks full sibe to me. The ears tell the tale (tail?). |

| Posted in two spots. I replied on the other thread about ears. She does have a narrow face, doesn't necessarily mean anything, she could be pure. If you saw some other dogs when you went to meet the parents though and know what their breeds are we could potentially expand on the likelihood of purity. Most likely though just looking at her I would say pure. _________________ |

| Also I did see the parents but both where white and black with a little brown someone also told me they couldn't of had an all white puppy but I thought they could ? And she is starting to get a little yellowish brown color going down her back and on the tip of her ears |

| Black and whites can produce an all white pup. Some are black points and some will be liver points, your pup appears to be a black point. Also blue eyes is a husky trait, not seen in malamutes for example. Puppies are hard to know 100% since they are growing and coat coloration changes a lot in the first year. For now I say she is a pure and a lovely puppy. |
