Hello all! My name is Becca. I'm a 23 year old female living in NJ, and I am the proud owner of a 4.5 month old husky mix named Maya! I hope I can participate in this forum even though my girl is not purebred! Her father is a purebred sibe and her mother is a chow chow x australian shepherd mix. Maya has the total husky temperament and behavior, structure, coat, and build; however she's got the red coat color and black mask from her chow heritage and larger, wider set ears. People often mistake her for an akita puppy, GSD puppy, or shiba inu! I acquired her at 7 weeks from a good friend who unfortunately had an accidental litter (Although I don't support mix breeding/ backyard breeding myself, I love my puppy to death and could not be more thankful to have her!)

Anyway, I am currently saving up to make a move from New Jersey to beautiful Colorado this fall, where Maya and I will be able to indulge in all sorts of outdoor recreation! Already at 4.5 months she loves to hike and I have a funny little feeling she is going to be a fan of the snow

I hope to make some friends on here and be able to share stories and pictures about my dog! Nice to meet all of you!

I will be back soon to post some pictures of Maya!

Hello and welcome! I can't wait to see the pics of this pup. She sounds very pretty! Colorado will be beautiful! There are a lot of folks from there on here. I'm sure they will have plenty of great advice for you and know all the good hiking spots.

Welcome! Of course you and Maya are welcome. Can't wait to see pics of your baby! When is the move taking place? There's a few of us here in Colorado (just a few).

Thanks for the welcomes! As for the move, it is not set in stone yet but I am shooting for mid- to late October.

Here are some recent pictures of my girl!:

She is super cute.. love the coloring..

Welcome to the group.

She is sweet! Welcome to the board. I have a mix as well, rescue from the SPCA so I am not sure what he is mixed with. He also has a very strong husky personality.

Welcome to the forum.

I love the pics!

Our Jeter is a mix also (Husky/German Shepherd). He also acts completely Husky which is all new to me as I've always had German Shepherds. I also need to post pics as soon as we get a few minutes.

Thank you all! It's great to know there are a bunch of husky mixes on this forum! I would love to see pictures of all of your dogs! And yes, like you all said, Maya too has the total husky demeanor. I'm new to the breed (grew up with labradors) so I'm excited to have access to all of the knowledge here! I have a lot of learning to do, but so far Maya is turning out wonderfully and is super smart and responsive!

Welcome! Maya is an adorable puppy!! Congrats on getting her and good luck with you're move!
