Hi everyone! I joined this site because I had a few questions about my dog and this site looks like a great community.

My name is Carl and this is my dog Cow-Boy.




My brother found him wandering around his neighborhood. After a month of searching for the owners he gave up and decided to give it to me since he didn't have time to take care of him.

It's been about a year since then. He's been very loyal and obedient. Hell, after 3 months I trusted him enough to go on walks without a leash. He ALWAYS come back when I call and it is very for me to set boundaries for him. He never goes after cats or other dogs unless I allow him.

Wich leads me to my first question. Based on looks do you guys think he's purebred? I've had many people tell me he was a bastard but 2 knowledgeable vets told me he could very well be a badly bred husky.

I have a hard time believing that he is purebred since his behavior is unlike any other huskies i've met before. Maybe you guys can enlighten me.

Thx!

Welcome to the forum! I'd agree with your vet and just say a poorly bred Husky.

Is his coat naturally that short?

Yes, that's his natural coat lenght. It's so sparce on his belly you can see the skin. He seems to have a good undercoat only close to the tail and around the neck.

He doesn't really like cold. At -10* he needs to move or he starts shivering.

Hmmm... I think I would also say that he's a poorly bred husky, although, that's definitely a really short coat.

I should post a video showing his general behavior around the house or during walks. I'm starting to believe I own the only low level energy Husky on the planet. He acts like a happy go Lucky labrador more than a willful husky.

Hi and welcome! Having a husky that can be off leash like that must feel great, and anyways weather he's poorly bred bred or not I'd love to see a video of your dog to go crazy over like the stalker that I am since he's absolutely stunning.
