Hi all,
I recently adopted my first dog from the humane society. His name is Wrigley and he’s about seven months old. The vet says that he’s part husky so I’ve been quietly lurking on your forum for the last couple of weeks. I’m sure I’ll have a lot of questions but my first couple are: 1. Do you think he’s a husky? I bought an embark test but I heard it could take months and I’m so curious! and 2. He seems to only have one coat. No fleecy underlayer as far as I cqn tell but how do I know for sure? Is it possible that the shelter shaved him down too much? He’s very soft.

Congratulations on you knew best friend!! To me he looks like a Hungarian Vizsla x Siberian Husky, i doubt they would of shaved as you don’t shave huskies plus I think they would have told you if they did. He is a beautiful dog!! Also he’s a pic of a Vizsla x husky

I wouldn't expect him to come back with a high percentage of husky. The mask does hint at northern breed at least a little bit. Embark usually takes around 8 weeks from the time they get the kit back from you. I would expect to see some form or forms of terrier in the results. Welcome to the forum!
