    Asking for some help to identify dog breed

    WP_20140918_07_46_58_Pro.jpg
    I'm interested in knowing what my dog is mixed with if anyone can help! His mother is a white pure breed Siberian husky, and her parents are black/white and white huskies (if that's any importance). His siblings were a cream color, with one of them being white like the mother and another being all black. Some of the coats were fluffy, and others were short.

    Maybe a little GSD?  How big is the dog in question...can't tell from the photo.  But, I'm lousey at breeds, so I  could be way off base. 

    It is entirely possible that the differences in the pups is due to different dads.  That does happen.

    Hi very nice looking dog. I agree with glenmar, GSD for sure and maybe Akita. What's the cute little pup in the pic? We'd love to see more when you get a chance.

    He's about 60 pounds and a year old. I can try and upload another picture. The red square behind him is 1 square foot.i thought he might be GS but his coat isn't as thick. He sort of has an under coat, but overall it's smooth. I was assuming between GS, pit, boxer, or Doberman.

    German shepherd fur is not as consistent as you might think..  My female was white and had very silky fur with very little undercoat.  My therapy boy also had very silky fur, and little undercoat.  His size would fit with a shepherd mix, actually since breed standard is just a little bit heavier.

    Thanks! I always get asked what breed he is because of his color. I know it's possible for his siblings to have different fathers, but ill try and put up another picture. The little one is  another husky :)

    Pretty dog, i'm guessing a german shephard and maybe some malamute.

    Coat color pattern looks very much like a Kelpie but don't see a lot of them running around loose. Only one''s I know are agility dogs. Not impossible that they aren't kelpie mix though.

    Here's a link to a Kelpie.
