Thanks Wild, I wish it was easier for dogs like this

Could I post his pictures on a wolfdog group so they can phenotype him?

I was thinking the same thing about the Siberian Indian dog.

Wow! He is gorgeous.

I want to think he might be a Canadian Eskimo (Inuit) Dog but they are exceedingly rare even in Canada and doubt they would show up in an American rescue. They are not a breed I ever want to see in a pet home.

I am going to guess either a melanistic Siberian Husky or a Husky mix with a dark colored, prick eared breed some generations ago.

My friend who does Mal rescue wanted to know if he barked or woo-woo'd.

She didn't see anything wild in him. She also poo-poo'd my idea of Akita/Malamute.

I'm going with Norwegian Elkhound mix

Looks like a GSD/Akita, or GSD/Husky to me.

I couldn't say... but he is beautiful!

Yes please!
Gharr, what does your Mal friend think he is, then!? The Mal folks here thought Akita x...

Gorgeous dog! Why do they not think Malamute or Mal mix?

LeoRose · 01-14-2013, 08:43 PM

My guess would be Native American Indian Dog.
