Aren't Alaskan Huskies mixed with Greyhounds? No wonder he's such a long-legged beauty!!

Alaskan Huskies can be any mix of breeds. The only requirement to be called an Alaskan is that they must have been bred to pull a sled. Many of them have very little Siberian Husky in their mix. Currently, greyhound, coonhound and german short haired pointers are the most popular mixes. A few years ago it was border collies(like Pingo and Sundin). The hound mixes are extremely fast, but hard to keep in true sled dog climates. They need as much clothing as their mushers at -30C! Anvik is double coated like a husky, long legged like a hound and has the facial shape of a collie!

We had a purebred greyhound stay with us one night last week. She was on her way from Fairbanks, Alaska to Calgary, Alberta. Can't do that trip in one day. She was delightful! If we were properly set up for that kind of dog, she would have gone no farther! Stuart and Anvik both fell in love at first sight! I'd never spent time with a greyhound before, but I can see how easy it would be to fall for the breed!

What a sweetie! He reminds me of my Vallis, (a failed foster ) who is also very clingy. They even look a bit alike! Anvik is adorable.

I think the closest thing to doggie heaven up north is YOUR HOUSE! I mean you can't get much closer to heaven right?

I think he is gorgeous! I have to admit that I hope this boy doesn't go anywhere . He has already stolen a piece of my heart and I hope I get to see lots more of him.

You go from Sundin who won't get near you to Anvik who looks like he'd like to share your skin. He is such a sweetie pie. I too hope he gets to stay with you, you both look made for each other in that photo!! Welcome Anvik, you've stolen my heart too.

Oh my gosh, he's wonderful. What a smile! And, he actually looks appreciative, like he seems to know he's being given a second chance! What a lucky dog.
