What Breed??

[Tralee]

Lady was surrendered to the shelter with her mother. Her mother is said to be a Husky. I'm assuming her father is BC or ES because Lady has many Bc traits and she was listed as BC and Husky. All her vacinations etc.. say that as her breed. I was wondering what breed you think her mother is, because she doesn't IMO look pure Husky. From what I know about her she is extremely over weight in the picture, and she was extremely vocal.

I have also attached a picture of Lady. Her mother is the b+w dog

Hey Nicole.. do you guys know for sure that that is Lady's mom?

[Tralee]

Yes we do because they were an owner surrender, and the lady had had Lady all her life. She was surrendered due to a family illness. Lady was 1 1/2 and Keesha was 3. I personally don't see any resemblence between Lady and her mom. That is why I think it is difficult to tell what breeds a mix is, going completly by looks.

[BC_MoM]

Hehe, yeah.. I see no resemblance either.. but maybe Lady got a lot of what her Dad looked like, ya know?

Her Mom looks a bit Husky to me, but honestly I can't tell.. people here are pretty good at guessing mixes, so expect some good replies!

Lady looks more like a Husky mix than her Mom does, but maybe her Mom is just very overweight - she looks kinda stocky and short-legged for a Husky. Her coat also looks too long to be a Husky, so maybe Mom is a BC/Husky mix, and Lady is more of a Mystery!

All dog, in both cases!

Mother looks like a mix, with Aussie or BC??? She's not a purebred husky thats for sure.

Ladys is a mix thats for sure, an aweful cute mix!

EXACTLY what I Was going to say -- the coat pattern suggests Aussie to me, but the body looks husky

[Tralee]

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

[Husky_mom]

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

[Tralee]

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

[BC_MoM]

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

[Tralee]

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

[BC_MoM]

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.
