MyMy16 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi everyone. Im new to the group and a new husky owner. My puppy Mya will be 12 weeks in 3 days. She weighs 20lbs. She is gaining 2 - 2.5lbs a week. My vet and a few other husky owners say she has to be atleast part malamute as big as she is getting so quickly. Is it unusual for a husky to be larger than breed standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hello and welcome. I don't think it is unusual for them to be a little bigger than breed standard. My male was about 16lbs at 10 weeks old, so a female her size does sound pretty big for the age. Did you get her from a someone saying she was full blooded husky? I have seen females as small as around 30lbs and as big as 60lbs and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMy16 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes I did. I saw mother and father and even have her papers with past blood lines. The first picture she was 5 weeks and the other 2 she was 10 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 She is a chunky pup but I can't see any mal in her , she'll probably shoot up in a few months n they'll think she's too skinny then lol Sent from my E6653 using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jue Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I wouldn't worry about it,, we learnt people are a bit negative in commenting about how big huskies should be, they can't be let off a lead ever,, tummies are sensitive etc etc, we done opposite and our female Siberian huskie has stopped growing around18 months we noticed, we give her lots of exercise, and she weighs in at 24kg, and is just muscle. Go with your heart and she will be a beautiful friend unconditional .. Oh and we let Lilly off lead have done since puppy and she has never left us as yet, she gets distracted,, but soon looks back to see where I am.. She is nearly 3 now Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'm not going to spam about being off lead as the topic starter hasn't asked about that, if you would like advice there's lots of topics on off lead there's plenty of topics on here Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
