Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. 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. |

| He comes from Kalara Siberians in Dayton, OR. His mother is from Kristari and his father is from Snobear. Both champion show dogs. |

Bring on the puppy uglies! Kenna is doing the same right now, and I am thrilled bring on the growth spurt! Now if I can get Enya to do the same I think Mishka has some nice attributes for sure, she's got a nice topline. She appears to be lacking in croup, she is a bit straight in the front but that can change as she develops. I like her head, here eyes are a bit too round. Nice length of leg. She'll be nice I think for sure- |

| We didn't necessarily want a show dog it just kinda happened that way because of how well my interviews and email exchanges went with the breeder. We love the little guy, good show quality is just a sidenote, as in "oh, cool, whatever." |

| I have to laugh at the perception of 'show dog'. I just call it a quality bred dog, which is something to be proud about IMO. |

| haha, noted. I just meant as in he comes from two show dogs, so therefore he is one too.......as it were. Quality was a specific intention, show dogness was not |

| Two show dogs don't always make a show dog though, that is for sure. The fact that the dogs were bred with an intention beyond making a buck or just because they could and with the health behind them is a huge plus in my book. |

| I've seen quite a few puppies from really great lines, with CH on dam and sire, and the puppies were no where near show quality.. |

I like her head, here eyes are a bit too round. Nice length of leg. She'll be nice I think for sure- Thanks, she is turning out well. She is a bit straight in the chest right now...not too bad, tho. I used to think that about her eyes, too, but then I looked at some of her closely related dogs from her lines, and most have the same eyes. I think since they slant up from the corners then back down, it gives a bit of a more round look.....everyone has different opinion here on this. Our friend/handler who has been involved/showing sibes for over 30 years, didnt think she saw round eyes. She liked her overall. Well, we have high hopes, but in the long run, we have a great dog and we certainly enjoy her a great deal~~even if she is a little diva! She really wowed 'em at her first handling class last night! Trainer is a former AKC judge and he loved her. Said she had great movement. It's nice to hear...cannot help but be proud of our baby! Cannot wait for next month~first puppy class match! Thanks for your opinion!!! |

| ok, that might have came off as being shameful bragging from a snob!! I apologize...not at all. I just am proud of her (we all are, right? proud to be owned by a husky??) and think for our first show prospect, we got a good one. For a pet, a GREAT one! ))) |

| Please feel free to brag. We all deserve it sometimes.... On terms of show quality vs. pet quality... My dog doesn't have a non ch. dog in his lineage for more than 5 generations...but he is not what I think is show quality because he has something off with his gait. His stack is nice, his face is nice...he looks just like his dad...but his gait is off. However, he is still very nice. |

But hey, if she's doing well with potty and crate training and you get to give her back before the teen years, sounds like a good deal if you needed a puppy fix. |

| Mishka's mom...W like to know so that we can look at pedigree. It's not something you should've ver worry about...I drop names about good breeders a lot because people often don't know where to look. Mishka is nice quality, I'm sure your breeder would not be upset about you being proud |
