They can be very sensitive, (ie – their senses - sight, sound, smell – may be very sharp) and they can be emotionally sensitive to where a stern “NO” is all that is needed to get them to stop a wrong behavior. They are very loyal to family members and are excellent with children. TEMPERAMENT: These dogs are very intelligent. Most are calm in the house and active outdoors. Stress, bad diet or health issues can cause loss of coat or shedding as well.ĮXERCISE: Moderate. We don’t recommend these dogs to be inside all the time as they are happiest having access to the outdoors. A dog who is primarily kept indoors will also shed the undercoat as it comes in. If you live in a warmer climate like Florida, Southern California or other desert-type of climates, the dog may shed the undercoat as it comes in as they don’t need it. Otherwise it can look like they are having a bad hair day. Longer coated dogs may require brushing once or twice a week to keep the coat looking nice. Typically, minimal to no hair loss the rest of the year. It is preferred that the ears are prick for show/breed quality dogs.
They have expressive eyes, medium long to long triangular shaped heads, wide between the eyes extending down to a slender muzzle.
RARE COAT COLORS: Blue and Red (these are recessive and not common in the Plains or Hare type dogs).ĮYE COLOR: Golden to Dark Amber and Blue (Blue was not a common color for the Indian dogs but is recessive because of the husky that is being used in the mix).ĬHARACTERISTICS: Their feet are webbed which assists with snow travel and swimming. All color and color combinations are acceptable. The “common indian” type dogs will be typically black and white or sometimes solid black with markings above the eyes. The Hare type dogs will have a white base coat and are usually patterned, “the plains” type of dogs will have more of the solid coloring with some white,tan or cream, this includes the sables, dark sables and tortoise shell colors. TYPICAL COAT: Black, Black/White, Black Sables, White/Grey, Black Sable Tri’s, Tortoise Shell, Black/Tan, Black/Cream, Black/Red, Black/Silver, broken patterned, spotted or any combination thereof. To be sure you are not sensitive please request a hair sample before you purchase or arrange for a kennel visit. People with allergies or asthma to dog dander or hair can usually own these animals. They are ideal for outside cold climates. They may have minimal to no shedding the rest of the year and typically have no doggy odor to them. HAIR COAT: Short, medium or long with a dense heavy undercoat that sheds heavily once a year. AVERAGE HEIGHT: Males: 25″ to 28″ Females: 20″ to 25″ĪVERAGE WEIGHT: Males: 70 to 95 lbs Females: 50 to 75 lbs
