First of all, look at this little snuggler:



Please excuse his harness--we're currently using the tether method for general housetraining purposes.

Hahah, now that's out of the way.. I just have a few general questions about my new boy. I did search the threads prior to posting and wanted to see if the situation merits further consideration.

Haku is a rescue pup so we aren't sure (we suspect he is) if he's a mixed breed. No one knows what dad was, but here's his mom (photos from the foster):





She's around 45lbs or so and at a good lean weight according to the vet.

First question is a fun one--any breed mix guesses? Or does he look pretty strongly Husky to y'all?

Second question -- I'm debating whether or not he needs to be on a Large Breed Puppy formula. Right now, he's on Wellness Puppy (switched from 4Health with no stomach upset) and doing well. Poop looks good, no digestive troubles. Because I don't know what his sire was, I'm unsure if he's going to be 50lbs+. Right now, he's about 13.5lbs at 10 weeks (he'll be 11 weeks on Monday) old.

Any input on the need for Large Breed Puppy food?

I should also add that I'm planning on pushing his neuter as close to a year as possible. The rescuer wanted to neuter him at 12 weeks old and I was able to convince her that this isn't the best decision, in my opinion, and is not what I'll do with my dog.
