There's a flaked-out wolf on my living room floor...

She is totally gorgeous! I know someone with one the same mix as yours but she says hers is an Outenagan and a proper breed.....

Wish my pup only poohed once a day, he seems to have never-ending amounts of it!
 
She is really beautiful.
I was only reading yesterday that dogs only need to poo once a day. However, that is not my experience! Purdey is on about 3 a day but then she is still on 4 meals a day at 9 weeks old.
You do forget though, if it's been a while since you've had a pup, how much sleep they do need.
I thought there was something wrong with Purdey the first day we had her because she slept for so long.

Good luck with Dax - I'm sure you'll have years of fun together.

I've also heard of this mix being called British Inuit/Northern Inuit, which I might adopt if anyone asks as otherwise it's a bit of a mouthful to describe her! She doesn't look much like the modern type of them though, the aim was to produce a dog as close in appearance to the wolf as possible - she just looks like a longer, skinnier husky.

Re: the need for sleep, it's astonishing isn't it?! I was expecting to have to be up and playing with her every second of the day in addition to walks and struggling to get her to sleep at night, but she goes to her bed for hours at a time and only has crazy time when we start it.

She's not got that very young puppy thing where they play and play and then very suddenly drop off sprawled in the middle of the floor/food dish/somewhere inappropriate, which is adorable and the one thing I'll miss about not having a tiny puppy.

I don't miss the frequent pooing, mind.

I don't think they or Inuits are KC recognised either.
But then, neither were German Shepherds (or Alsatian Wolf Dogs

as they used to be known during wartime...)

Again, not that I am a huge fan of the KC these days....improve hocks or else - but we will continue to register, approve of you breeding from/showing dysplastics *sigh*
Different rant for another day....

You ought to be flattered, they used GSDs to introduce trainability and good temperament to the otherwise batshit insane sledding breeds.

Gives me hope that one day in the distant future she might start channeling her GSD blood and learn some recall!

Gah, why can't they stay that age...not annoying baby puppy age but young enough to be all floppy and gorgeous and vulnerable and not a big feck-off adult that likes to bulldoze through life, ah, coming up to my two-year owniversary and getting all wistful!!!

Otto was never floppy and vulnerable at that age, he has always been a bulldozer

I don't remember any of my 6 month old pups sleeping for long stretches, they were too busy practising for being adolescent hooligans once they reached 12 months.
