| I'm a big fan of pure whites (I have two). Browsing around this site I've noticed there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of pure whites? Then again I could just be missing them... there's a lot to follow on this BB! I know I've seen Vegeta (adorable!). Any others out there? I find it interesting that most people unfamiliar with Sibes that I meet, look at the pure whites and call them rare, but yet the breeder I got them from says the pure whites are usually the last picked in the litters. I guess most people want the "classic" black & white look? Anyway, just contemplating, and would love to meet other pure white Sibe owners on here and see pictures. My two are full brothers, but from different litters. Luka is very fluffy/furry and will be one year on the 26th of this month. I call him my little prince... (he's my favorite, but shhh don't tell the others!). He's such a sweet boy. He had a rough puppyhood because he has an intolerance to rice and it took us over a month to figure this out! He's holding out around 47-48lbs and I don't think he'll get much bigger, just maybe fill out a bit. Here's a couple favorite photos of him (oh who am I kidding, I got tons of photos of him.. I'm a bit obsessed): Our newest addition is Loki, he turned 13 weeks last Friday. I think he's gonna be bigger than his brother, he's already over 24lbs! Yikes. He has shorter fur, which is weird, I thought he'd have fur like Luka. Goes to show you even full brothers can vary! He's a little sweetheart also. They do love one another too. Sorry for the picspam.... anyway, any other pure white fans? |

| Beautiful looking dogs. Love the pic where they are laying down together. I have a grey one, funny thing is when we go to petsmart their lights are not too bright so Meeka looks filthy under those lights. |

| Thanks! I couldn't believe my luck at getting that shot of them laying together - I promise it wasn't set up!
It's amazing what lighting can do isn't it? The whites look yellowish in all my inside photos, even if freshly bathed, lol. Oh well. I think Meeka is so cute, always looks so happy. <3 |

| You are tempting me to attempt to convince my wife to let me get another Husky, although this time a all white one. Here are a few pics of my "Filthy" girl taken today: I think she will end up looking like your TImber when she gets a bit older. |

| Very pretty! Does mostly white count? Luci has some very light tan areas (enough to see a mask). I'm not sure what color to call her. |

| Great pictures.. love those white.. The picture of the laying together is great.
We almost got a white My hubby wanted one but when we meant Blaze we fell in love with him. When he agreed to get a second one he want another red. |

This must be true because I had the hardest time finding a female black and white puppy. It was ridiculous. Either they were male or they weren't black/white. My hubby was set on one. I love the all white ones though, they're very gorgeous!!! |

| When I first got Lycus I thought he was going to be an all white husky because he only had one black/gray spot on his tail. Then all of a sudden...BAM! Theirs gray all over his back and face lol! I love whites too but I won't lie, I have a soft spot for agoutis more than anything. Here are some pics of when I first brought him home: |

| Gosh I love everyone's photos! Even the "almost whites" count, yes! <3 I know about the smoother coat, I like them "fluffier" too, I hope Loki's coat grows in but if not, oh well! Reds are my least favorite color. Not that I DON'T like reds (they're gorgeous too!), I just prefer most other colors more. I was going to get a red/white and name him Brix, just to have that color in my pack, but fell for Loki instead. <3 No regrets! Thanks for sharing guys! Keep them coming Oh, another thing I've noticed having whites. People always ask me "what color will he be as an adult?" For some reason they think they're not going to stay white! No one ever asks this about any other color. The greys seem to change the most growing up! With no hints of any other color on them, I wouldn't even think the pure whites would change, but I guess that's what people assume. Next time someone asks that, I should tell them he's going to be solid black, and see if they believe me I do love agoutis too! And all the darker colors, they're just hard to find in AZ. Finding a husky at all was difficult here, let alone a specific color. :/ |

I've been searching for breeders that have agoutis around my area here in NM for future references for a second husky but I've had no luck lol |

We literally had to drive to another state to get Karli. You would think in a state full of huskies there would be good breeders (although now looking back, our breeder wasn't the best) but it was either Idaho or Oregon and we chose Idaho. Karli has been the best dog we could ask for so going the distance was totally worth it. I would definitely widen the search, it may help. |

| I won't lie, when I first got Vegeta I was a little hesitant because he was all white. I'll admit I fell into the whole "I want a black/white Husky with blue eyes" fad. But I LOVE Vegeta. I love his all white self, those pretty "I love you and just wanna play all day" brown eyes, and his tan ears...oh his tan ears are too cute. I have definitely been converted to the white side. |

I did end up going to Oregon for my girls but it was due to the specific pedigree and style I wanted at the time. I'd certainly do things differently today- On topic- I do like the white siberians, it is just so hard to find quality whites. |

| 5Woofs, my apologies in posting pics of my grey husky. Looking back at it, I shouldn't of put them up on a all white husky thread.
On another note, a rookie question, what is a agoutis husky? Despite my research before getting my pup, never looked into the color terminology. Is agoutis a grey husk? |

| Oh it doesn't matter! This isn't a white ONLY thread! Meeka is too cute! I understand people want "quality" huskies, and I don't think I've ever seen a show husky that's pure white? But for pets they are quality enough for me |

I'm more than willing to drive up to another state. I think my best bet would probably Texas if I can find a reputable breeder. Although, I'm not planning on a second for a while so I'm just doing all the breeder research now lol. |

Agouti's are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to have one in the future. http://www.huskycolors.com/agouti.html http://www.saunalahti.fi/samans/jutut/agouti.html I do believe there is at least one if not more thread's on the agouti, so if you would like to search, that may also help you out. |

I had no idea what I was looking for when we were looking so I didn't look in the right places (i.e. ebayclassifieds ::sigh: I did get in touch with one breeder but she was so set on giving me a boy and I didn't want a boy, which I told her several times and she kept going on about how she prefers boys to girls and so on, but I'd had my heart set on getting a girl and I was willing to forgo getting a black and white with blue eyes as long as I got a female and that just happened to be the one thing she didn't have (she only had males and then when I asked about her next breeding, because I was very willing to wait til spring if need be, she said she might breed IF all the conditions were right and such, it just sounded like a big excuse and more trying to convince me to take a puppy right NOW you know?) I hadn't joined here yet so I had NO clue what I was looking for. My breeder didn't overbreed his dogs (only one litter a year for each female) and they had a nice setup and everything, the pups were healthy, but I very much doubt there was any hip or eye checks whatsoever. He did have to send samples in to get his male DNA'd because he been used as a stud more than three times from what he was telling me (he only had one male and a couple females, now that I look at ads he's posted later I suspect my girl's mom was given to him to hang on to til the pups were weaned.) SORRY for being off topic!!! All whites are harder to find out here though, I've seen reds and black/whites, but not many all white. |

Whenever I see the word agouti, I have to brag about Kavik. They have banded hairs, black at the roots with yellow/cream in the middle and more color at the tip. They typically have a dirty face and black tipped tail. I made it a mission to find an agouti and after relentlessly searching I found one in a different state. I like white huskies and red ones are pretty. It's true they black and white ones with blue eyes are the most desired colors. I see a lot of pure white huskies up for sale, probably because they are the last pick of a litter. I like a mix of colors. Black, gray, red, and white in the fur rather than two solid colors. I especially love dogs with symmetrical masks or dirty faces. |
