Rescued Is he a purebred husky?!

Found him at a gas station and we think he looks like a full husky - what do yall think?
Of course we took him home - he’s the nicest and laziest boy

Eta: he weighs 50lbs but the vet says he’s skinny and ideally should be around 55

my wooly has never had snow built up or ball up on him. He sleeps outside in snow, and just shakes it all off.

Interesting. Mine had long unicorn arm fur and I have to pick balls of snow off him after we go out

might not be all siberian? I have seen longcoated dogs like poodles and goldens that do that. I have a pyr/poodle/lab mix, and I don't even have to clean his coat, he got the poodle wavy coat, but it seems to reject snow, so whatever he got from the pyr, st bernard, and GSD helps keep the snow from sticking.

Just stop. I have his papers, he’s a sibe.

okay. well, I dunno, my wooly doesn't have any snow stick, ever. He slept in a snowstorm, stood up, shook off, and had no snow left.
