This picture was taken on the street, this dog is a coyote and a husky mix. A really beautiful dog!
Many of us know what a sled dog is, there are the famous wolf like Siberian Husky and the sturdy Alaskan Malamute to the smiling creamy white not wolf like Samoyed. They happened to be one of my favorite breeds, not just because I had one before, but because of their beauty and stamina.
Those dogs are originally bred for sledding and pulling carts back in the days when cars weren't as popular as today, hence the great amount of energy and the tendency to pull, but now they are becoming great house pets with energetic owners with the knowledge of those dogs.
They are really smart, but have their will of them own, so that leads to being stubborn and hard to train from time to time, so being patient is especially essential for these dogs. Like wolves, they howl when they are lonely or just being very "communicative". They have two layers of coat, one is the undercoat, which is really fine, soft and dense for fighting the winter cold, the other one is the outer coat, which is long and coarse for repelling dirt and stuff off.
