Can anyone tell me what kind of dog this is? It is beautiful and I've been trying to figure it out but I just can't get the breed. Is it mixed or pure? WHAT IS IT?

This is Student Doctor Network, not Super Dog Network! 😛


99% sure that's a Siberian husky...

Have you tried a reverse image search through Google? Looks like husky + something I can't quite put my finger on

The best part is that it's a fresh account specifically to ask this question. Also that dog is awesome.
 
An enormous malamute? (I work at an animal hospital, btw.)
 
I think you're looking for Student Dogtor dot com, not student doctor.
 
Or they were looking for the vet forum?

I'm pretty sure that's a malamute, though.

Please just do a google image search for "Alaskan Malamute" and see if you agree with me. I'm 99% sure.
 
I love that I can come here and you guys give me real answers thought like I would not have gotten this on my own at all THANK YOU GUYS

No, they said 'Tibetan Mastiff'...look up mastiff and then look up Tibetan Mastiff, they're quite dissimilar looking. That answer seems the most likely out of the thread thus far imo, so don't laugh it off until you look it up!!
 
Are we even looking at the same picture? Tibetan Mastiffs have floppy ears and the one in the picture has very pointy ears. Plus the coloring would be unusual for a Tibetan Mastiff. It's a big Malamute.

The fur type is all wrong for a malamute though.
I don't think it actually is a TM, but I also don't think it's a straight-up Malamute. The size and fur type are more like the TM, ears and coloring (maybe tail shape) like Malamute. :shrug:

Hopefully it's a big wonderful mutt! :xf:

I don't see what you're saying at all. How is the fur type wrong for a malamute? 😕

Ah, that's a fur variation I hadn't seen on the Malamute before. All the pics I'd seen before (and the lovable guy who lived next door to me for a large chunk of my childhood) were more like this guy:
Alaskan_Malamute.jpg


Very different fur type.

As I said, I didn't think it actually was a TM, just that that was the closest suggestion I'd seen (looking mainly at the most unique features of the pup in the pic - size and fur).

Seeing the Malamute pic you posted, I agree that all signs point to that. But again, never seen one with that fur type before. :shrug:
 
I don't know if it's a fur "type" or if it's just groomed vs. not groomed.

It's not just grooming...my neighbor's dog always looked like that, it was just the way his coat grew.
 
Here's what the internet had to say about it...
some random malamute page said:
Malamutes have several coat types but only one is the correct breed standard. The proper coat has a short dense undercoat and medium length guard hairs over the body. Sometimes a recessive gene pops up in a litter and it can produce a long coat Malamute or a woolly Malamute. These 2 coat types require frequent grooming to keep the coat clean and not matted up.

Maybe your neighbor took him to get groomed often. :shrug:

Nope! When I say 'neighbor' I mean 'the door that opened literally 3ft from my own because we were adjacent townhouse units'. I knew the dog very well. Actually, it was a sweet gig...she was a flight attendant, and I was the little kid who got paid big bucks to watch him whenever she was out of town because he was bigger than me! :greedy:

Something tells me that upon reading the title of this threat, I was literally the only person whose first thought was the following scene of fine cinematic art:

Hahaha, love Borat, but my friends from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan refuse to watch it... 🙁
