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.

I have a 6 month old male husky, and he is only about 24 pounds. Is this something I need to worry about?

Do you know how large his parents were? That might give you an indication as to how big you can guesstimate he'll get. Aside from that the next question would be does he look underweight? In other words can you visibly see his ribs? I don't really keep a close eye on Nanook's actual weight (measuring him out) and just use the "touch" method. If I can't see his ribs, but can feel them without too much effort (meaning there isn't layers of fat in the way Wink ) then he's fine. Just my $.02 though.

Feel the spine as well, he should be carrying fat over the vertebrae and you shouldn't be able to feel each individual vertebrae distinctly.
