sarahjng Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I was just wondering, obviously the books LIED, so how big do huskys get ? The books say breed standard (yeah right !) Is 55 -60lbs at full size, for a male, bear is just over 9 months and 64lbs, I don't think he's fat I can still feel his ribs ..... so can someone please tell the in plain English how big can I expect a husky to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Males 45-60 lbs and females 35-50lbs. I have three males and they are 60, 55 and 45lbs. But that's just breed standard. They can be bigger or smaller. And when mine were 9 months old they were pretty much done growing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Just because that's the breed standard, doesn't mean that's the way your dog will turn out. Some breeders do not breed to conform to the breed standard (even when breeding purebred puppies), so when buying a puppy those are the numbers you can expect...that doesn't mean those are the numbers you'll get. This is either due to poor breeding practices (backyard breeding), or breeding to a different standard (racing Sibes vs show Sibes). I believe mine is a Sibe/Mal cross. He's 26 inches (at the withers) and is 77 pounds. And, keep in mind...different kennel clubs have different standards. The United Kennel Club's standards are different to the AKC's or CKC's.
