a stray

You did the right thing, I just hope he's clear for everything and didn't pass anything to Tikeya.

He's a nice looking dog and i'm sure he'll get a home.

Looks aren't the main quality in the working world. When you breed to get a superb sled/draft dog, you breed for brute strength and a temperment suited to working alongside people and other dogs.

The dog was really pretty. I bet if his owners don't get him, someone else will come along.

But how many people require a strong sled dog in their everyday lives right now?? Don't get me wrong I think working ability is an important trait. But what is so wrong with trying to breed a dog that fits the standard in both looks and working ability??

my grandmother says that she chose misty (her one blue eyed bitch* to breed because there was a demand for blue eyed malamutes.

interesting....................................... ................................................Au ssies come with two eyes too, my friend has a dog that looks like a mini aussie all except her head, her head looks like a red merle, but a SHeltie, lol its weird

Malamutes should NOT have blue eyes.

I would consider anyone purposely breeding a malamute with blue eyes a very irresponsible breeder.

OOOOHHHHH, ok, now i gotcha! So, what is Nebo? Isn't he a Mal? or is he a Husky?

[wolf_Q]

He's a siberian husky. They are supposed to have blue or brown eyes.

i dont think m,y grandmom was a irresponsible breeder. She has been breeding for years!! she has bred malamutes for 15 years and befor that she bred K9 unit police GSD. She is a wonderful woman. I would personally never breed, but I think she was a good breeder. She only bred for blue eyes when there was a full demand for them.

[tikeyas_mom]

since mals dont have blue eyes.....

I am thinking that this stray was an akita, pit, siberian husky, mal cross.

He has the Akita looking face, the bulky pit bull muzzel, the malamute body stucture, and the size of a male siberian husky.

IMO, but I was the only who seen him up and close, you all have to rely(sp?) on pics

[wolf_Q]

He looks like he could be a sibe/akita/something else cross...very cute dog!

I don't doubt your grandmother was a wonderful woman, but I still don't agree with breeding malamutes with blue eyes. Purposely breeding against the breed standard (unless it's for working ability) is wrong IMO. It's like people breeding "teacup" pomeranians and "extra large" pit bulls.

Very cute and I do agree with everybody else! He is better off getting taken to the shelter where somebody can take care of him than out on the street alone without food, shelter, and being subject to things worse than he'll be subject to in the shelter!
