| many with all white sibes get questioned if they are white GSD. its hard to tell when they are still that young and in that weird body stage when everything seems out of proportion. your only real answer would be to have a DNA test done on her.
Edit: oh now with the pic i would say sib _________________ |

| I agree with Jenn. Nothing in your avatar pic would indicate anything other than Sibe. |

| My Nicky is a pure white Husky as well and people ask me ALL THE TIME what breed she is, is she a GSD, or if she's mixed w/GSD. I've even had people w/GSD's come up to me and tell me what a great looking white GSD she is lol. You're pup looks almost exactly like my girl! She look's 100% purebred to me! I wouldn't worry about it! Here's a picture of my girl, so you can see and all her GSD qualities hehe |

| Haha, people are always asking me too if he is a GSD! Or a Husky GSD mix especially because he has a shorter coat. But he is a pure husky as well. |

| Wow. We were looking at a white husky when we got Neeka. This was the exact reason we did not get her.... did not want people asking if she was a white GSD!!! |

| We have a white GSD at my work. All the white huskies here look nothing like her! The ears are ALOT larger in the GSD breed! Nikita doesn't have any gsd look! lol |

| I've always thought that the all white aspect always accentuated the ears a bit, leading to alot of people thinking an all white sibe is partly GSD. When I adopted Sky, I thought she had a little GSD in her, but am now completely convinced she doesn't. |

| It amazes me how many different coat lengths sibs have. I think why people keep thinking GSD is because of the coat length on Nikita, I was one of those people(Before getting Thunder) who thought all sibs had med-long fur(Common misconception lol) |

| Yes Nikitas fur is shorter then i thought it would have been. I need to take some new pics though as she has grown alot. her fur is coming in well and her neck is all puffy. I think she went though a little stage where she ears didnt look right, her legs were to long. I look at her everyday and see how she is changing into a beautiful sibe. she has pink nose and paws. and well not so white. I didnt know they could change but Nikita now has black forming around her eyes and mouth. |

| Yeah, I also have to agree about the coat lengths. People are constantly thinking Lycus is a mix because he has shorter fur and his neck is super fluffy as well lol. I think it's something that is common among whiter sibes? Although Lycus has obvious husky markings and people still think hes a GSD mix lol. |

| Char's fur is also short on his body, but long around his neck and along his spine. He actually has a wavy long fur running down his spine. |
