ISDW Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I collected this lad yesterday, he was in a pound for a week, unclaimed. He hasn't been to the vet yet, but I think he's only young, but not a real baby, probably about 7/8 months old. He is definitely a sibe cross, but what with? Its his ears that are confusing me, sometimes they both stand up, sometimes one stands up, sometimes both of them flop down. He's a lovely boy, an incredible escape artist, he managed to get out of a crate in the fosterers house, but it was still locked when she walked into the room to find him! He's climbed out of one of my kennel pens, no problem at all. He's fairly tall, I think he looks quite lanky, but then he's very skinny, so maybe when he fills out a bit, he'll look more in proportion. Has anyone ever had a sibe who's ears never stood up? Very chilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyn Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sure they come with tipped ears: Hes getting on abit though, and did have upright ears till a few months ago, but some sibes do go through life with tipped ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbb23 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sorry I dont really know? but if some Sibes can come with tipped ears then maybe he is a full Sibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISDW Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 You see, you learn something new every day. I didn't know they could come with tipped ears. Well, he howls like a sibe, and he escapes like a sibe. LOL He does actually remind me of an alaskan that was on the team when we went dog sledding in Canada but theres only person in Ireland with Alaskans, and she hasn't had them that long. Thanks guys. He's a lovely boy, as a great temperament, will make somebody a lovely pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 With that head? Definitely part Malamute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISDW Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 With that head? Definitely part Malamute. I was looking at him last night, and thinking mal. Could explain his size, as he is fairly tall for his age. So, he could be one of those famous Huskamutes;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskyluv Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Whatever he's mixed with he's gorgeous! I've come across several purebred sibes with tipped ears, they're not the most common but it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice and Cripton Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Alaskan Huskies is such a wide spectrum >> they have everthing in them, so Mal is poss too. You also never know when their not KC, my 2 arent and they both have very large ears and are rather tall >> they could have a pinch of the Alaskan in them! But whatever he is >> hes stunning, are you keeping him or fostering him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whatever he is >> hes stunning, are you keeping him or fostering him? Hmmmmm, to keep or not to keep, that is the question. LOL I really want to get into mushing now, so I'm going to keep him long enough to feed him up, and then I'll try him in a harness, gently as he's so young, and see how we get on with him. Have to say, I just love his face, those floppy ears make him look like a puppy I think. I got 2 pb sibes in on Friday, and they are lovely dogs, but I am not even considering keeping them, I do tend to go for the 'sad' cases, hence Vincent, our one eared boy.

Why they destroy the breed? I get verry angry when i see husky or malamute mixes. And i get angry too when i meet people who want to breed they're dogs, sure without papers and they don't want to listen to me that this is not good :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brincatmark Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Shepered crosses tend to have ears like that but if you see this photo you can easily see this is not the case. Maybe somewhere up the line . . a grand or grandgrandparent.
