The pics are great! Beautiful dog!

To answer TollSettFK: I had a Husky/Shepherd and he was my rock. (pic here http://icyhott99.tripod.com/myfurryfamily/ )

He was a little aggressive when he was young, but all he needed was training and he did fine. He was a 'velcro' dog and wasn't happy unless he was touching me. He was extremely devoted and an excellent guard dog. He once scared away an intruder who was at my window one night. He didn't come back! He did get out a couple of times and went for a stroll, but overall he was a wonderful dog!
