frankmayfield Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Is ticking (freckles) common on Huskies? Maverick has this on his neck, face, legs, and belly. I am not the biggest fan of them, but I still think that he is very pretty. So, is it common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan&Diesel Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I've never had a husky with ticking, not sure how common it is, but I think your guy is gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kara Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I don't know about ticking/freckles, can't say I have heard of them.....but I do know that both of my dogs have had a strange small patch of white on their shoulder that never matched or seemed to coincide with any other markings. My most recent has big black ones on her belly, that have been covered up more as her belly hair lengthened. If I was to randomly see a pic of your dog, I would say to myself, "it must have some piebald in him". but I am no expert by far. I would love to learn more about ticking and see other dogs with such features. Either way your boy has a very very handsome mask...and I love the little black freckle in the middle that is topped off with a big white strip that travels all the way back.....he holds his markings with character and beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankmayfield Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thank you "Kara" and "Jan and Diesel". I do find Mav pretty as well. He is piebald. I just find it funny that he looks like a half-assed coonhound with the ticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Some of the Seppalas I've seen pictures of or have met have ticking. In fact Arizona's sister, Apanda, has serious ticking on her face and legs so it's probably a genetic thing in some lines maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I haven't ever seen the ticking in any of the lines I'm familiar with, but have several dogs (and have seen others) with the freckles on the face - my Shad had several right between his eyes and lower - as do several of his grandkids. Maverick is very handsome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
