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..

Off topic..Did I miss something? You have little Scarlett in your signature and under "owned by".. Or is that just for the time being. Great group photo though!

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-

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! )))

She's our foster for a while, as of right now it's only a month but her new owner is pregnant and due really soon so we'll have to see lol

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.

Oops I lied, this are 3 or 4 without ch...all bitches. Which is not unheard of...because males often are more popular in the show ring,

Ahh, I see. I saw that the lady was taking her time getting back to you, so I thought you just acquired her lol. Can't imagine a new baby and a puppy.. At least the pup is getting a head start with you.

Yeah she FINALLY got back to me yesterday and was like....I need you to keep her for a month at least. Luckily she's already doing really well with potty training and crate training otherwise it would have been a giant no lol

Wow..I hope that lady knows how lucky she is lol. 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

Cool, thanks for clarifying Megan. All noted.

Like Megan said, I was just curious of the kennel and her pedigree if you'd rather post that. You can upload it on www.pawvillage.com or send me a PM

Ok. I see. I can PM her parents. I have her pedigree on paper but you can look up her parents.

Ah, the kayenta dog was the sire to the highlander litter. I know highlander very well.

Ok, I hope I am not mis-speaking. I am pretty sure that is correct, but I have to double check. She has an excellent pedigree. Her grandfather is a Highlander dog for sure. This was a very good litter she came from~feel pretty darn lucky to have her.

Yuki isn't show quality, anyone knows that lol. Shes approaching 8 months (next week) and gets spayed this monday, but I am just curious to see where she stands I think shes definitely closer to standard than her siblings, most her siblings seem bulky? If thats the right word to describe it, and shes the only one who doesn't have a snap tail or a tail thats lean far to one side. I wonder why she turned out so different from them xD

Eyes too round, oversized ears, nice topline, decent croup (which is probably part of the reason she has a more appropriate tail than her siblings), no chest at all, too straight in the sifles, and slightly cow hocked, nice length of leg, and a nice moderate coat. I'd be curious how she moves out.
