raindog Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 The Continental Kennel Club is a bit like Dog Lovers Registration over here - not worth the paper it's written on. I've only ever seen one genuine miniature husky, and that was a little girl who suffered serious digestive tract problems when she was a baby puppy. As a result she never grew to full size and the vets didn't expect her to live past three months. She's almost five years old now and still going strong despite occasional health problems - though tiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankmayfield Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Like someone said earlier, there are Siberians that are larger than the standard (a lot of them). So, it only makes sense that there are quite a few smaller than the standard as well. The mini-Siberians, however, are the result of disreputable breeders in the US.

ivey Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 husky wise: normal range:16"-22" (yes i know 16 is VERY small) miniature: 12"-15" toy: under 12" more or less the same height classifications as the klee kia maybe an inch off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivey Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 never heard of them, but you can't really say she's a miniture husky just because she's small.... she is aparently a normal AKC husky who happens to be small. so in that case can you not call a teacup chihuahua a teacup but rather a small chihuahua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizadora Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 at the end of the day they're just tiny often more sickly huskies that people have breed to 'make' a new breed.... although they're not registered with any breed clubs so essential its like designer dogs, tiny teacup breeds, they're not true breeds, they are dodgey dogs bred together FOR LOOKS and not health or temperament, which is why most of these kind of breeds if not all will never be true breeds or recognised by any reputable breed organisation.

ivey Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 no not dwarfed... its like in humans you have really short people and average size people and tall people that are all not considered dwarfs. just as there are medical reasons that a human is classified the are reasons that animals are classified. she is SHORT and last time that i checked there was no health risks for being short.

pandie Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Although these dogs probably shouldn't be coined as "miniature huskies", huskies do come in small sizes. They are NOT Alaskan Klee Kais. I live in Toronto and I've seen at least three of them on different occasions. Whenever I came across one, I couldn't believe how small they were (they stand right above my knee from the top of the head). Every time I asked the owners if their dog was a cross breed, the owner confirmed that their husky is bred and fully grown. My cousin has a regular sized pure bred Siberian Husky and the ones I've seen were exactly same in petit form, from the ears to the tip of the uncurled tail. They were just a bit slimmer looking. I actually saw another one just last night (damn, I should have taken a picture, but it was too cold and -10 degrees celsius last night in Toronto). It's funny because "true" husky owners think of this as a myth, like leprechauns and fairies. But if you haven't seen one, how can you believe it, right? I'm assuming that this might be a rare occurrence in litters, or maybe just the runts of the litter, but there is nothing wrong with them and they make beautiful dogs nonetheless! I actually prefer their size. I don't think that there are breeders that breed this size of huskies... but maybe there are. That was something I didn't ask the owners. Dun-dun-duuuuuun!

HuskyCouture Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 This is my friends Sibe Sakari, she's really little for the breed, even though she's sister to my boy Embry, she's half his size. She weighs around 35lbs and is super short! This is a pic of her playing with my girl Zoey. She's perfect breed standard and weighs 49lbs.

mydiamond Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 there are no such thing as mini huskies IMO =\ there ARE huskies that is in the far end of the breed standard size which makes them incredibly small but they shouldn't be called "mini" for that =\ I remember there's a husky called Eponine (previously Chukchi) here which is always described as VERY small by everyone who saw her. Still, she's a husky. Not a MINI husky =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
