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. |

| I did a lot of reading on husky colors as my Jinxy girl has quite the combination and after not finding anything similar to what she looks like, I'm questioning her status as a purebred. Of course, I'm not a breed snob and i don't particularly care if she is or isn't, but i paid a good amount of money for her. I got her from a guy who was a little younger than me who DID get her from a breeder [he gave me all the documentation and paperwork regarding vet visits and vaccinations] and supposedly she's AKC and CKC registered. It all seemed legit and she is one good looking gal... but she's like 4 different colors. The top of her head and down her back are a chocolate brown, the bottom of her legs, around her eyes and her undercoat is a cream color outlined with the same dark brown of her back, her ears have an orange strip on them and of course she has the white face/muzzle/stomach and paws plus 2 white spots on her shoulders... I've heard of tri-color and creama... but nothing like this. Any opinions? |

| Her colors are going to change, a lot! Cheyenne went through some weird color stages and at about a year old her colors stopped changing and her coat has generally stayed the same. She lightens and darkens but for the most part remains the same. Only thing that fades now is her mask You will probably see changes as her adult coat comes in and she loses the puppy coat. The cream around her head and shoulders may fade and be replaced by black top coat. She will probably keep the white patches, Cheyenne has them too.

| She looks pure bred to me, but obviously you can't know for sure without a good DNA test. There are so many color variations on Huskies out there that I wouldn't be too worried about it. Ghost has a lot of the same markings, including the orange tinge in the ears and brown coming through around her head and where the black/grey goes to white on her legs. She's also darkening up a bit around her eyes, to the point that she may be developing a bit of a tan mask. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

| Siberians can be any color except for the merle pattern. Little late now, but: https://www.itsahuskything.com/t1042-how-to-find-a-reputable-breederSiberians come in so many different colors and a lot have no official name for the colors, but it doesn't mean they aren't sibes! Like both of mine are registered as grays, but they look totally different from one another. Siku is like a dilute black (which isn't listed on AKC as a color) and Elara is like a wolf gray. _________________ -Sara |
