Might have been different if it was a video of a dog moving!!
- You dont need to answer though, I already know the answer..You dont like the dogs conformation, therefore it has to be unfit..
No - I do not think, comparing the 2, that the conformation on the US dog displays (IMO) what a Husky should look like. It looks Chunkier and less able to full fill the purpose it was bred for.
Comparing it to the picture of the UK dog.

I said it did not look as athletic as the UK one.
And looking at the outline, it does not seem to have the depth in its chest or the length on it legs. But maybe it is not meant to. I am afraid I am not up on the Husky breed standard - just comparing what I see in the 2 pictures ...on the Look

I am also not up on the husky breed, and would never by a picture comment on the dogs ability to work or say it looked unfit, less athletic..It would have to have very poor conformation for me to even think it....
if you was up on the 'husky breed' you would see the differences between the two dogs at the very least

Layla I can see a slight different, what I cant see or understand is how that difference is making the dog unfit.... - I'll leave it at that....

i dont mean unfit as in unfit..i mean unfit to do the job it was bred to do.. after all thats why the sibe has a standard.
