I don't have any huskies, but I really enjoy hearing y'all talk about'em too. If it wasn't so hot down here, I think I'd definitely have one.

I was also going to add that although they're not Huskies, Oz and Gully play really rough too. Slamming each other into things, mouthing each other and Oz makes this ear piercing, "Wounded Bear" noise. Scares my Mom to death. But I pointed out their casual body language, with all the puppy play bows and that their mouths stayed open and loose or they'd snap air or do that nibbly biting thing. Never been any blood shed or even any yelping. They only play like that with each other though, which is a good thing for Murph.

I've been wanting to ask about hackles, because I've always heard that was a sign of aggression, but I'm pretty sure Gully does it out of excitement too. If he has the toy and takes off running, with the other two dogs chasing after him, his hackles go up. But as soon as they catch up to him and grab an end of the toy and they're all tugging for it, his hackles are back down. I was thinking if it was really an aggressive posture over the toy, then they'd really be up when they were all tugging and wrestling for it, but they're not.
