Discussion Wooly Boi?

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 🫠

Meet Timber. He has a similar thing going on with his ears, but maybe not as pronounced. I don't think he has the woolly gene, mostly because I haven't really had any problems brushing him. He is 100% Siberian Husky, we got him from Boulder humane society but his previous owners got him from a breeder, and we did the Embark DNA test and it came back 100% Siberian (His tail made me think he may be a Samoyed mix).

Anyway idk too much about genes. Apollo is a lovely name for a gorgeous dog and he looks happy and loved and very cute.

Timber looks like he definitely has the fluff on his face and tail! It also looks like he has his own couch all to himself. 😂 Thank you. Apollo was already named when we got him and it seemed fitting.
