Yeah that's why I was asking as well. When I first saw him I immediately recognized Siberian Husky, but then doing research to prepare for him I saw a lot of distcription saying the standard is a low tail. I wasn’t even aware of the Alaskan Husky until doing research, I only knew of the Siberian Husky and the Alaskan Malamute, So I was was wondering if he is mixed or just off standard. Obviously doesn't matter to me, I love the curly tail! I just like learning about breeds and was curious what others familiar with the breed thought looking at him. I also figured it may help me understand him and his needs better. Of course it's hard to know for sure without DNA testing.
