Julieanne Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I don't agree as I've seen 'thicker' Huskies that are within the normal size though people can't wait to say "look at those big paws, he's going to be HUGE"!! Pfft... Have you ever been told this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think this applies loosely with anything except the northern breeds. It does, generally, seem to hold true to the hunting breeds. I don't think that people realize that we're talking about "snowshoes" here, the more footpad they have the better chance they have of staying on the right side of the snow.

Applebear Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I don't care for the paws theory, I think it has the tenancy to be inaccurate. First thing I read on Ro's petfinder ad was he was going to be a huge boy because he had big paws. He is a fairly big boy, but I didn't think his paws were that big. Not until he puts them up to my hand anyway [fyi I'm 5'9, I don't have little hands]. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Mine has huge paws, but that's because he's a big dog. A lot of people forget about the 'snowshoe' bit, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
