my sister picked this very cute dog from some bus station
im from israel so telling me its a husky siberian or an alaskan malamute will sound a bit weird since its a hot country and those breeds are prolly expensive here more than everywhere.

if you know or think you know this breed, please tell!

Hi! Welcome to the forum. I am not the best guesser and my 1st impression was the 2 you named--you must have been thinking about the same thing when you first saw it? It is esp. hard with some breeds when they are young puppies and will be changing as they get older. I have a book that tells about each breed and shows good colored pics--but does not show them as pups. From what I looked at the only thing I can come up with
(besides the 2 you had mentioned---and my best guess would have been the
Siberian Husky) is Australian Shepard (This is not the Australian cattle dog!)
Actually this breed was developed entirely in the U.S. to work as a herding dog on ranches. This dog is extremely intelligent, easily trained, obedient and very responsive, these dogs seem to know exactly what is required of them. Sounds like a good breed to own! But it also is a very energetic working dog and needs plenty of vigorous exercise to stay in shape, or better yet some real work to do. (like herding--not hard pulling jobs) Male: weight=
40 to 70 # and 19 to 23 inches-shoulder height. I also thought of German Shepard----wondering even if there could be some wolf there. Anyway it is a very cute puppy--Do you have any more pics--maybe standing, side view---How does he 'carry' his tail? If found at a bus station--maybe the owner was a 'traveler' and could be 1 of the dogs you mentioned as could of come from almost anywhere. Hope you get some good answers--I'd like to know too what it is!

another picture, might help to get a better idea.

hi welcome to this site your sister is so lucky she got such a nice and cute pet take care of him he is really so cute

Looks like a husky. That's gonna be a big pup.

Regards,

Its looking too soft..its gonna big..

I agree that he looka like a huskey (and a Malamute is, after all, a variety of huskey). What an adorable armload of fuzz!

He looks all tuckered out from his busy job of being cute 7/24 (it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it! )

A second thought... what color are his eyes? Blue or pale green or gold eyes would go toward ID'ing a huskey, since they're closer to their wolf ancestors than most domestic dogs. The only reason I've ruled out a wolf cub or wolf-dog hybrid is that he was found in Israel. Wolf-dog hybrids are usually accidents in areas where wolves are fairly common.

I vote for Husky too. As dog gets older,it maybe easier to identify the breed,but he look so cute!! Wonder what kinds of dream he is having,lol.

Husky is the first thing that came to my mind...

After the word "cute!"

Could be part Akita also

Cute little guy, I see husky and malamute on him. He's probably lost and not abandoned.
