Adopted this boy 3 months ago. He was just turning 5 months old. He is now 8 months old. His little fringes around his ears puzzled me at first. Now the longer the rest of his coat grows I am figuring maybe he just has the wooly gene? Either way I'd like to do a DNA test if anybody has one they recommend. It doesn't really matter to me but I don't have an answer for people when they ask me if he is mixed with something. 😂 His name is Apollo 🫠

My boy Asher has ear fringes like yours;

He's the one in front there. He's about 1/4 Great Pyrenees but in almost all ways looks and acts like a husky.

The other looming face is Nanuq... 100% Sibe.

Wow the rest of Ashers coat is very pretty. Super flowy!

It really is. He's ridiculously photogenic and I started nicknaming him Fabio after the first time I walked him on a windy day and watched the wind rippling through his hair just like... well... Fabio. The only downside is that his undercoat grows in SUPER THICK during the winter; even thicker than Nanuq's. That means April around here I literally have mats of hair hanging around when I try to brush them...

My poor abused trashcan... spot Nanuq's hair in there too;
