Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hi All! New here, just wondered on thoughts for my husky, Diego. We got him from the anti cruelty society last october when her was about 9 weeks old and he is amazing! Makes the best little brother to our rott, Roscoe. I have no way of knowing if he is 100% pure siberian husky or not but he will be 1 on 7/26 and he is coming close to 70 pounds.... if you look at him you would not believe he weighs that much. Our vet expects him to get even bigger! I have yet to measure his height recently (he's asleep at my feet at the moment I should be sleeping too!)...but I was just wondering what your males weigh. Thanks |

| People don't realize that a husky is really a rather thin dog, they should have a nice waist, most I see are on the thin side though I have seen a few heavier ones . They keep telling me Balon will be over 60 we shall see. They told me my lab would weigh 65 and she is only 53 lol a very petite girl~ |

| well I guess I shouldn't be surprised Diego was 17lb at 9 weeks when we got him lol and he wasn't very chubby either. who knows. shelter says he's an "alaskan" husky not a siberian but alaskans aren't supposed to have blue eyes although they are much bigger than sibes. who knows. alaskan huskies aren't even technically a real breed but actually are a mix. pet peeve of mine but I guess I'll never know what he actually is |

| [quote="Diego&Roscoe" shelter says he's an "alaskan" husky [/quote]
shelters often miss label pure breed huskies as Alaskan. im sure your boy is most likely full husky from the pic you posted. our boy is 57lbs and 4yrs old. only you can truly tell if he is over weight or under weight, you need to feel his ribs but not see them, as well as the hip bones. huskies are super lean at that age as well. what are you feeding and how much a day are you feeding?
oh and the sig pic can be added under your profile. i upload a pic to photobucket and then insert the img. code in the sig area
oh and welcome! _________________ |

| just measured he's about 24.5" at the shoulders and almost 70 lbs. here's a picture I literally just took he doesn't look anywhere NEAR 70lb lol excuse his goofy looking tummy hair he had to be shaved when he was neutured because his *ahem* "goodies" never dropped (typical from BYB husky pups apparently) and to have a hernia removed as well so his tummy hair is still coming in lol |
