| Well Karli's only 6 months old so she hasn't quite grown into yet, but yes her tail is a bit longer than it should be. I'm hoping she grows into it! |

| I think they all go through "stages" where they look disproportionate in one way or another, haha. I was just commenting the other day that Loki's tail looks a bit too long. |

| I've noticed! I guess it fits the Sibe personality well Mischievous and all that. Though, I almost named my Loki, Apollo. I decided to go with Loki because it fits well with Luka, but now that it appears Loki is going to be huge, I kind of want to change it to Apollo, haha. Oh well. It can be his middle name! |

| A long tail isn't bad - they should be long |

| Lol Megan I am hopeful that he will grow into his tail, but if not, it will look pretty flowing in the wind lol |

| I wish I had a picture of Lola's tail. It is long. The color pattern is just like Maya's with the dark mark and white tip. |

| Yep all three of my girls have that dark mark, i believe all huskies have it. It marks a scent gland on wolves or something, i'm not a very technical person so all i know is it's normal. |

| Aww they are so pretty! Balons tail is long too when you pull it straight down, he has a pretty snapped tail so mostly it's carried tightly curled to his back and one side, I know its a fault but it looks adorable on him lol. And he has a dark mark on his tail as well! I guess baby Loki's tail will be just fine then |

| The dark mark is an indication of a pre-caudal gland. Not all huskies have it, but it's not uncommon either.
Crispin's tail is super long. We just always assumed it was because he's a GSD mix. |

| Actually, all purebred huskies will have that mark on their tail..it just won't be as apparent in a dark dog but even my sale girl has a prominent mark. It's a trait of the purebred siberian. |

| My whites don't, and they're purebred. Maybe their marks are white! |

| There marks would be white. Just as you wouldn't see them in a black dog.
Huskies and wolves share this trait...the gland is used as a marking too to release pheromones. |

| I'm confused now. If we look at white wolves the pre-caudal marker is still black. Does anyone with a red husky have one with a pre-caudal gland mark? |

| A Pre-Caudal marking can be black, red, beige, white or any number of colors. It can be obvious or not. |
