What Breed??

I'm starting to think Lady is BC and Aussie mix with a little husky sprinkled in,

**Husky_mom** · 01-03-2006, 05:24 PM

there are some husky patterns a bit alike but "Mother" seem to bve more a husky mix, even there are also long haired ones, and "Lady" looks like a husky/shepherd/bc.

piebald pattern

and some wooly coats

so both traits combined could be a pure husky, but it sure looks like a mix, and Lady seems to have more tan markings as in a shepherd mix

I don't think Lady has any shepherd in her.She just has sable coloring

**BC_MoM** · 01-03-2006, 10:12 PM

I don't think Lady would be considered Sable. More like Black w/ tan. lol

**Tralee** · 01-04-2006, 03:25 PM

all of her black on her coat, is tan at the base, or would that be considered brindle, i get those confused

Dunno.. she could just be dirty.. haha. Take a picture for me!

I don't see Husky when looking at her mom, I see Samoyed. Her mom looks BC/Samoyed to me.

By looking at Lady she looks like an Aussie mix, but I honestly can't say the other parts. It's really the shape of her face and her type of fur that look Aussie, but nothing else really. Lady is a hard one to guess!

But her mom, to me, definetly looks BC/Samoyed.

She's not a brindle, brindle is dofferent shades of black, brown, red, etc... in a stripe like pattern. Here's a good site on different brindle colors:

I don't think she'd be considered a sable either, sable is more where the browns & blacks kind of slowly blend together throghout the body of the dog, like you would see often in Collies & German Shepherds and the like.

I think Lady is considered just a black & tan dog, *maybe* with a *little* bit of sable mixed in, but because she doesn't have a lot of sable on her body she'd probably be considered a black & tan, or black with tan points, which is the same thing anyways.
