I am no expert on Huskies but would guess there is Border Collie in there somewhere...
Enjoy your puppy Adz she is lovely whatever her background..

Thanks Meg, I will. Only reason I kind of want her to be a Husky is so she won't ever be seen as prey by other dogs, I know this should be a problem with a Collie anyway but she's turned me into a worrier.

Hi Adz sorry I don't understand your post about 'prey to other dogs'

A dog would be more likely to attack a Collie than a Husky due to the Husky's larger size. Not that I expect it to be a problem.

She looks mostly Border Collie to me.
I don't get your last comment either.

I just noticed I said this should be a problem with a Collie when I meant Shouldn't

I still don't understand Adz I would say dogs attacking each other has little to do with size and more to do with fear aggression and failure to interpret body language...

Yep, BC was my first reaction as well. And she is beautiful
I'm also getting a hint of Finnish Spitz from her facial features, but with puppies it's so hard to tell. I'm not really seeing Husky, but then those are some hefty paws she's got on her!

I've also never heard of any type of breed being perceived as "prey" by other dogs.

Hi Wendy I have seen black huskies but thought the white marking went higher up the legs and the ears are wrong for a husky though as I say I am no expert on the breed ...

The Collie 'eye' can cause unwanted reactions in other dogs - not sure if that's what you were thinking of.

Haven't a clue as to the breeding of your puppy, but, whatever, she is absolutely gorgeous x
