Breedia Dog Forum
I think you'll find that most of those raising questions about wolf-lookalike dogs are just as questioning about labradoodles and any other cross...
Hi Cheyenne, I wasn't suggesting that anyone in particular does that, but simply that this is the reason why breeding is a qualitatively different...
Because only breeders who produce large numbers of pups for no other reason than to supply a market, treat dogs as commodities and not as feeling,...
Sorry - I know it's a bit late to respond, but I had to laugh at this one. I've met lots of wolf-lookalike dogs, lots of wolves and probably the...
Just on the rescue aspect. The Siberian Husky Welfare Association (UK) has a recommended donation of £100 per dog rehomed. Note the term...
I was thinking exactly the same about my sibes. Yes they have breed characteristics in common, but they are all individuals and all respond to...
Having worked in local government for 30+ years, I would definitely disagree. In my experience, councils are full of bureaucratic jobsworths who know...
What have captive wolves and domestic dogs got to do with "getting back to nature"????? Mick
Great idea!! - we are toying with the idea of running breed seminars for prospective husky owners (not conformation, simply about living with their...
Funnily enough, the JRT's that I come across regularly on walks don't seem to like Huskies either. Mick
I must admit, I've never been a great admirer of toy dogs, but a couple of years ago I stewarded for Peter Jolley at an Open Show and he had an...
In fact, the "big attitude" of the Chi, would make the situation less, rather than more problematic. We have found with cats and huskies that cats...
The "Valley of the Wolves" documentary was on one of the Sky channels a year or so ago. It was fantastic and taught more about wolf behaviour than...
He actually looks more like a husky than some of the appallingly badly bred purebreds we get into rescue - certainly much more husky than GSD. Mick
That Sunday Times reporter got it exactly right and reflected my views completely. Mick
For me, history is history and something we have to accept whether we like it or not. There are many existing breeds, which would not be acceptable...
No, I'm afraid that makes it a mongrel! It might well be a gorgeous mongrel, but still a mongrel. Mick
So what was Buck? He looks like a purebred piebald Sibe. Did the original breed standard for NIs outlaw "patchy" coats (ie piebalds - which are...
I completely accept that and it is a great part of the reason why to me (used to Sibes) NIs etc just look "wrong." To my (biassed) eye, they just...
Yes, definitely. I've seen a couple that have been very handsome dogs. They still looked like husky/GSD crosses, but seemed to look balanced and had...
