Hello. We are about to receive our first EBD. We currently have a 10-week old female Siberian Husky, and in about a week, are picking up a female EBD.
The one that came up to me, followed me everywhere, and never left my side, on two distinct visits to the breeder, was a brindle male (the only male), who was the smallest, but by no means a runt. However, the Sire's owner is keeping him, so he is off limits and not for sale. Otherwise, it would not be a contest. Although he was the smallest and the thinnest, and although the breeder said he was born with hid legs bowed (but they no longer are), he had immediate chemistry.
Among the rest, we were between the three attached, all female:
The all-white: She was the first that came up to each of us, when we visited, but spent little time with each person, before moving on t o the next member of the family. My daughter liked her the most because she spent the most time with her, on her second visit. Breeder says she is the leader of the pack, although she is not the biggest nor the second biggest, and maybe not even the third biggest.
The Piebald: She was the third to come up (the male was the second). She immediately got on her back for me to rub her belly, then went to my wife and put her head on top of my wife's crossed legs on the floor to cuddle. After that, the all-white and the brindle got on top of the piebald to also cuddle with my wife.
The Bindle: She was the fourth to come up to us, so a little more timid, also got on her back for me to rub her belly, and kind of hung out and chased me around as well. Visually, she was the prettiest to us, though seems to still run a little goofy, and trips, and falls on her face a lot on one of her front legs, yet runs and plays perfectly well at other moments. She also has a lot of loose skin, which looks cute, but I am not sure if that is good or bad.
We had a very tough choice - so much so that we put down a deposit and the breeder offered to let us change our mind while the others are still available.
Based on the pictures and on the above, what should we have chosen? I can then reveal what we DID choose!
