| I've never seen a husky of this blondish/cream color. When I originally went to a breeder, I wanted a red and white husky and they said she would get darker as she got older. If anything, she has gotten lighter. She is registered with AKC so I'm not worried about her not being a purebred, I was just wondering if this was a normal coloring. When the light shines on her back, it looks like a dark red/brown color. Has anyone else seen a husky with this coloring? |

| I hope so! He is so pretty and I love red and white huskies. If not, I will always love her just the way she is lol. But because her coloring is a little different and she is so fluffy, people always mistake her for a malamute... |

Kay always gets mistaken for a malamute too since she's so fluffy. I love red and whites too, which is why i have two. XD Bowies a girl, i thought she was a boy too because of the name. |

| Oops! That's my mistake!! Did she look like Mya when she was young? Mya is so fluffy!! Her dad was a long hair red and white and her mom was a short hair black and white; therefore, she is so fluffy! haha. |

Neither of us own Bowie, but from what I've seen in the pictures, she was a tad darker as a puppy, but VERY similar to Mya. |

| Ah! I understand. So huskies do get darker as they age? This is my first husky so I'm a little new to all of this. |

| My little boy was a light gray and white with some spots that were a darker gray, now that he has shed his puppy fur, his back has turned black and just the sides are gray, although I am not sure if it is his summer coat opposed to his winter coat, some say ones winter and ones summer when they change and others say that once they shed their puppy coat that is the new coat color and what you can expect them to look like! |

| My Kiska was way darker when she was a puppy, when i got her she had a almost peach colored mask and patch on her back, when she hit about 7 months she darkened up but around 9 months she got really light, now unless you are in the right light you almost can't tell she is anything but white. I thought she was a really unusual color until i joined this forum and saw that there are actually alot of huskies with the white and cream/blond coloring. Some darken as they get older, some lighten. She is a beautiful pup though, so either way she is defiantly going to be a looker |

| Reds are just as color changing as any other color husky. Sierra was lighter when we got her at 5 but go darker, I think cause she was outside with the other people and in with us. If we hike a ton she tends to lighten up some. Jack has been a good copper since we got him at one. Your girl may get darker or she may stay that color, not sure if she will get any lighter. Try to get a good pic of her coat now and check it in 6monts and see where she is as she gets older. We have a ton of reds on here in all shades of red _________________ |
