| 1.Is he a purebreed Sib Husky(He is a very big boy compared to other 4 month old pups) 2.Do you think he is a "Wooly" I Did not get him from a breeder, He came from a woman who could no longer care for him. All I know is he is up to date on shots and the women said her husband purchased him from a breeder for her. Here are some Photos Of Thunder. He just turned 4 months. |

| Sorry I tried to take some down..My mom passed away last week, this site had kinda been how I have been keeping my mind occupied, sorry for the Hyper-Posting. That is actually why we now have Thunder. Before my mom passed my dad wanted a husky, mom always said no, she battled cancer for two years and sadly lost this battle. My husband and I finally got my dad his husky. Again sorry for the "Hyper Posting" the same thing everywhere, I tried to make this the only one left up. |

| yes he is pure bred, he is probably just a big boy, Compton was about the same at 4 months, maybe a little bigger, he is now 62lb at just over 1 yrs old and is still yet to fill out and stop being so lanky, so he will most likely get a bit heavier. One of our other pups from Comptons litter (went to a good friend) was the same as well, it is normal in males for some to be larger then average.
His coat looks to be fairly standard, it just looks to me like his guard hairs around his face and ears are a bit longer than the ones on his body, he is till a pup so he will go through a fair bit of change between now and 1 yr.
Sorry to hear about your mum, you have done a great thing buying your dad thunder, he is a gorgeous boy. |

| Sorry about your mom. You have certainly got something there that will take your dad's (and your) mind off of the pain of losing your mom! I'll be crazy at your house raising that cutie-pie! Huskies grow at very different rates. You really cannot compare one to another. By 5 or 6 months old, my Sabaka was really looking quite "adult" to anyone who just saw a picture of him. (I was going to say "...to anyone who just met him on the street..." but meeting on the street would allow them to see his crazy, puppy behavior and then they would KNOW he was still a puppy! LOL!) I thought he was going to be huge, but he hardly grew at all the last few months of his first year and he ended that year around 50 lbs. He probably has since added a few more pounds of chest girth as he is filling out. Your thunder may not end up as big as you fear! I have seen huskies with the long hairs around the face like Thunder. We have a breeder in our area that breeds for the wooly gene so I have seen this look. It is probably a wooly trait but I don't think his entire coat will end up wooly. I think you have another thread discussing his color. That's the one thing that would lead me to think that he is not pure bred. He had a black nose...huskies with black noses cannot be red. If he remains red, he would not be pure, but if he turns wolf gray (like I think I remember many suggesting), then he's most likely pure since I don't see anything indicating he's not. You could always do a DNA test to find out, but if it were me I just wouldn't care! He's beautiful just the way he is! LOVE the pic of him and the little girl! |

| Some Huskies are just bigger than others. Some say due to poor breeding. My guy is almost 70 pounds and he isn't fat in the least bit and isn't even a year old.
Thunder doesn't appear to be a wooly, just has fluffy fur around the face.
If you're really concerned about him being a purebred, you could always have a DNA test done. They sell them at Petco or you can go through you're vet. |

| Oh I do not care if he is purebred, I was just curious on others opinion because i was "Told" he was, as for his coat, YES IT IS GOING GREY, slowly but surely he is turning a silver grey. Thank you all for your opinions!!! Also thank you for your condolences on my mom. |
