:lol: :lol: Quite ironic really. The one really annoying thing to most sibe owners is the "Oh look, it's a wolf!" thing. We usually have to restrain...
In fact, there is no recent genetic contribution from wolves into either Siberian Huskies or Malamutes. They are no closer to wolves than Chinese...
The primary purpose of the dogs were as transport during the winter. The Chukchi dogs were not used as hunters by the Chukchi at all. The hunting was...
It's now hardwired into them and instinctive. As an example, we were doing a SHWA fundraiser last weekend and the dogs were staked out on a grassy...
With the Chukchi dogs (sibes) the dogs were worked all winter as the Chukchi followed whatever food source was available - seal, fish, reindeer etc...
Unfortunately too many are just like that and their naivity is compounded by the fact that the commercial puppy breeders - whether puppy farmers,...
I don't know - the photo was taken in Chutochka in 1904. It does look a lot like my Shiba Inu though!!:grin: Mick
Interestingly, this may be only a relatively recent development. Prior to the 1860’s reports from travellers in Chukotka uniformly referred to the...
Not in the UK it isn't. For the past few years, our Kennel Club has recognised both the Greenland Dog and the Canadian Eskimo Dog as similar but...
Sibes will take as much exercise as you are willing to give them, but, like cats given the choice they will sleep much of the time in between bouts...
Being cynical, I think the Zero "debate" had more to do with the fact that Zero bred sibes were regularly beating the Lokiboden lines of the BSHRA...
That's a really good link and sums up the "Alaskan Husky" pretty well. There are a few in the UK, but not huge numbers and all of them (as far as I...
The other one we get all the time is, "I thought they'd be bigger!" Mick
In fact, as far as Malamutes and Sibes are concerned, nothing could be further from the truth. Both breeds have been established as amongst 14...
He is a very poor example of the Siberian Husky breed though. I would be very surprised if he was a purebred. Mick
Not necessarily. One of the dogs in the link above looks like a pretty dodgy cross and the other isn't really clear enough to see whether it is...
If he's a full NI, there must have been something else in the original mix as that kind of coat colouring doesn't occur in Sibes, Mals or GSDs. I...
Now there I can agree with you - too many of our breed specialist judges seem to believe that ears are merely cosmetic. All our dogs' ears are like...
The Sibe standard also calls for "slightly rounded" ears: Ears Medium size, relatively close together, triangular in shape, the height slightly...
Still don't understand - even huskies with oversized ears still have smaller ears than GSDs and standard fitting dogs ears are tiny compared with...
