Hello, meet Spock, he is approaching 7 month. And I'd very much like to hear what do you think of him. It happened that all other non-dopey photos I have of him are from instagram, so sorry for that.

I like spocks head quite a bit, it's hard for me to comment on the body because no shot was really dead on and in decent lighting. Front seems nice.
Where is he from?

Dizzy looks nice- I'm anxious to see him grow up.
Anya is a cutie. The ears may very well even out, give her time to grow into her head. Cato has a more prominent stop now, he didn't have a prominent one but his face is filling out.

Sorry for the clutter in the back! But, I was wondering what you all think of Bane's conformation? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
My husky is 14 weeks old, and I'd like to know if her features are correct. Below is a few photos of my husky! Thank you in advance.
Thanks so much if you need clearer pictures let me know.

I think it would help if you had a picture of her standing, maybe one of her walking as well...

Once they pass 8 weeks it gets really hard to give a good evaluation until they balance out again. Her eyes are way too round and non-oblique. Ears are very oversized but that could be her age. She has no stop which is a fault as well.

Bane I don't feel comfortable assessing until he is older - Puppies are really hard and it's ver difficult to tell. I will say this though, his tail looks very short, but it could just be the picture.

He was definite wagging his tag in this picture haha I will take a picture of him again in a few weeks then. He also has a white tip on his tail that blends into most backgrounds. But! A picture in a few weeks and we can go from there then (: Thank you

I'm curious as to what you guys think of Kay, i think she's a little closer to standard then my other two. I'm definitely wanting to do agility with her, i think she'll be great at it! Here are some pictures.
I have some video's of all three gaiting (me trying to get them to) that i'll post once i get them uploaded.

I think she's just gorgeous! I love her ears when she is focusing on something. Her eyes might be a little too round but I'm no expert on the subject.
Its too bad dark colored Sibes aren't trendy enough to do well in the show ring. Maybe next decade the look will come back into popularity.

Kay.
Maya.
Sophie.
Also when i take the girls out on the scooter Sophie will run for a bit but then stops running and ends up being dragged. I'm not sure if she just needs more practice or if she's not cut out for pulling?

Dark (read: black/white) Siberian's do very well in the ring. Maybe they are not as popular as they once were in the 80's/90's..but they still very much do well and are out there.
My friends Black and white bitch just book her first best of breed for a five point major this past Sunday.

Oh nice! That hasn't been the case in my experience but I've only been to one Siberian Speciality. It was mostly the dilute reds/black that were taking home the ribbons.

The solid colors are very rarely ever seen in the ring - most black/red and whites are dilutes. Which is what I'm talking about. The conformation ring favors gray/whites, red/whites and black/whites - all diluted.
I didn't know you were talking about the solid colors/jet blacks.

Hi everyone, If anyone has a spare moment I would love some opinions on my boy Orion - I have very little idea about what makes a "quality" sibe in regards to technical breed standard but I am very interested in learning all I can! Apologies for the shocking photo quality Orion was not interested in co-operating with the camera

How do you go about showing dogs? I am very interested in all this because my little girl dolly has 3 Champions in her bloodlines, I have an example of the AKC breed standard for siberian huskies but dolly is still very young and has a lot of growing to do. How would I tell if she is show quality? I dont have any stacked pictures because I have never tried but here are some pics maybe to get a good idea of where she is looking wise.
She is only 13 weeks old so she has a lot of growing to do still

She has a nice topline- who is she out of?
To start, get into some handling classes great bonding experience and learning opportunity. Then, once she gets to be 6mos old, just enter shows. You can get on a Premium List like through Onofrio or BayRay. The list will come to your house and let you know when shows are closing and when you have to enter by. They have online listings as well.

The story with how I got her is a long one, A friend of mine's mother purchased her from a mall in hopes of replacing a passed on pet, couldn't handle her, so sold her to me. I purchased her pedigree and found that there were champions in her fathers side. CH kristaris JJ, Ch innis free's chips ahoy, and CH kristari's Maximillian III, and a litter mate of a show dog (Innato's let freedon ring) named Intatto's Yes I am a pirate.

I do think her eyes are too round.
