Husky Eyesight (Special Or Is It Just Me ?)

[Miahowlingprincess]

Hi all , I watch Mia whilst she's doin her thing , and I think she notices more than a normal dog would do ie another breed , like birds high up in the sky she watched a distant plain tail light like a flashing star she watched it till it was out of sight , things on the tv watches it for ages . It's like a wild thing in them, I think that attracts people to them

Yeah Freya is a lot like this loves watching birds and planes

I think Huskies are more aware of what is around them than some other breeds. Not necessarily a fact, just my opinion.

I think mine uses his nose more often than other dogs...I hope that doesn't mean his eyesight is going?

LOL. They can see a cat crossing the road from kilometers away. However, when that cat is sitting still next to the road, they walk past him as close to a few meters and they don't even notice it 

 

Dogs are, just like wolves, much better than us in spotting moving object. They'll be able to recognise people from a distance just by the way they walk. However, for stationary objects their eyesight is actually much poorer than us so sometimes they might even overlook things we have no problems noticing.

 

I have no idea however if there is a difference between different breeds. Can imagine it for breeds like the Dutch Sheepdog but that's because they just have loads of hair in the way.

With some breeds, you can almost see the single brain cells bouncing around all sad and lonely in there.

However. . .

With Huskies you can see some keen intelligence, cogs and wheels turning, figuring, plotting and planning.

I know it's only a film but when the huskys in eight below zero when they go mad at the sight of the northern lights :0)

Skye uses her nose ALOT!

 

Shadow however uses his eyes more than his nose

[Miahowlingprincess]

Well for years I've tried to get meg to hunt with her nose but Mia has impeccable eyesight and smell wen she's out it's nose down tail up but wen she has nowhere to go ie garden her eyesight is used to look at things far far away she's one very alert pup

I'm glad I'm not the only one, IMO Huskies are a breed that process everything around them and show more expression then other breeds, I don't think I could go back to dog breeds that have a "blankness' about them.

[Stormy]

I dont think all breeds that aren't huskies have a "blankness"

[Julieanne]

I didn't mean all breeds, after all I've only come by probably 15% of all breeds there are, I just meant that Huskies have a special personality.

[HuskyGuerl]

Mine love to watch TV and larka will lay about and stare at birds and listen to nature for hours if I would let her

[Stormy]

Im just saying that alot of us say this about huskies etc which is great but i bet you alot of people who are on other forums with other breeds say their breeds are different to They all have their own special ways i think
