Hello. I do not want to be rude or interrupt the conversation, please excuse me.
But, please, could you look at julia `s photographs and comment me what do you think? I I would appreciate very much the opinion of experienced people. Soon we will begin  to show and I have not much idea of julia's faults.
For me she is the best but I would like to have a realistic vision of her.
Please could you help me?

I'm going to be honest 6mos is a horrible time to evaluate only because they tend to be in or going into gangly growth phases...she's too high in the rear which gives her a sloppy top line, which is likely growth. Her ears from the side are over sized, again likely growth phase...she has a nice rear, good amount of fore chest already, nice amount of bone it looks like, not much seen as far as growth knuckles so either she's growing or about to-

Nikasmom- Have you thought about sports to compete in? Agility, Rally, OB ect. ect. are all fun and mentally stimulating not to mention totally addicting! Personally I think that would be more "interesting" to a dog than showing, but that's just my

Or... since she is showing outstanding temperament and intelligence have you concidered going for Canine Good Citizen? You get the flashy certificate without all the show ring drama.

If she's hoping to breed CGC's, MACH's, etc aren't a good judge of breed stock-

Thanks Huskymom.
The breeder also told me it was a bad age for her and that I had to be patient.
I also thought that the ears were large and the rear too high. Looks like I'm learning!
A few months ago she was beautiful, we'll see how she grows.
Anyway she is a wonderful dog. I have a little daughter with down syndrome and serious heart problems and Julia is her best friend, they sleep together, they play together ... they are very special.

I thought they just wanted to do something with the dog, guess I need to read everything more closely. If you're looking for something to "do" with your dog that they would enjoy- I would go the sport route. If you really want to breed and that's your end-goal that's another story.

JuliaBaby- If you have any standing "Stacked" photos at 8 weeks that is the best time to get your first look into what you are going to have as an adult. The proportions of bone and balance of the overall structure are as close to adult as you will have pre-adulthood.

Thanks everyone. I'll be honest; I wanted to keep our options open but there's no way I'm going to want to risk my puppy loving someone more than me, nor would I be thrilled with people criticizing her (honest evaluation is obviously fine, but if people were lying about her or us I would lose it). So I think this has been enough to talk me out of formal showing - I know her kennel will always have more huskies, so we don't have to breed her. Anyway, very informative, so I appreciate it. :-)

Juliababy - may I ask who the dam and sire are?

I will tell you who the dam and sire are, but I do not think you know the breader.
He haves very few litters. Julia's parents are not CH but personally i like them a lot.
It is also true that in Spain there are few Husky breeders.
Dam: http://siberianland.com/namine.html
Sire: http://siberianland.com/mc.html
Mothers Sire: http://siberianland.com/auron.html

My pup's mother was imported from Spain. I'm not sure of her breeder though. Her name is Cristal Stars Supernatural. Julia seems to have a similar body type to her dam, namine. All are beautiful, but I especially like Auron! By the way, I'm not experienced in confirmation and showing, I'm a newbie also.

Hey guys sorry to butt in was wandering if anyone could take a look at Karli's pix? If I need to repost them I can...

Your photos are kinda hard to really see anything in. She looks from the rear shot to be a little cow hocked, not badly and that could just be just a bad timing shot. Her top line looks like she's high in the rear, but again that could be bad timing or bad angle on the photo. The obvious- looks like she has a nice coat and decent tailset, eyes are too round.

If you can try to take some more direct on photos may be able to offer a better assessment on the rest of her- sorry can't offer more than that

Its OK, she kept trying to sit down when I was taking the photos lol. I'll try to get some better ones and post them.

So these are just her standing, not stacked.

I hope I'm not to late to join in! I'd love to get some conf. critiques on Murphy!




She is not impressed...



Murphy is 2 yrs old and 22in at the shoulder (sometimes a hair under depending on how she stands... if we ever have to officially measure her it will be a tense moment!)
She was being impatient today, I can get more pictures later. We plan to show her for fun and I would love to know what to expect! What she really likes is bikejouring and weight pull! We are having a lot of fun training for those! She loses patience quickly with conformation...

Okay, so, here's my little guy at 9.5 weeks. Sorry for the bad back ground and blurey pix. Hopefully they are decent enough. I couldn't get a good straight on shot.

Nice looking pup!

Thank you!

Not much in this world is cuter than a husky puppy!

Ha ha yeah, they grow too fast! Murphy is beautiful!

I know theres a back log of critique requests, but I'm curious to learn what Anya's faults are. She is not a show prospect, but she's perfect in my eyes! I have novice eyes, but from what I can see, her ears are too large and her stop may be too pronounced. She has a nice chest and gait (couldn't get a good picture of hyper puppy)

Here she is at 8 weeks:

You can already tell at her age she is going to look very similar, build wise to Shanook

Agreed! She has his shorter coat and his chest.
