Here's some photos! Sorry for the image quality it's off the cellphone in the dark. I'll try to get some better ones in the next few days (provided I get a chance, we still don't have our tree decorated yet.
)
Nikko
Female (Willow?)
Another pic of the female.
They've met our dogs. We have a 7yr old neutered male and a 1.5yr old intact female (gonna give showing a try) Both are good dogs and have never had issues with other dogs. Our male is especially laid back around others (could tell stories about getting rushed at by rude pitbulls, but that can wait)
We had them meet one at a time in the back porch area (same place you see in the photos) on leash. Our dogs were excited and tails were wagging. Nikko sniffed them a bit, then went back to his nosing the ground. He seemed a bit disappointed that our male was larger than him, he had a kind of amusing expression on his face after sniffing him, a tilted head and a quick submissive flick of the ears. Our female dog found Nikko very appealing. She was very excited sniffing him (you could almost see her thinking "A man! Wow! A real MAN!" LOL!) She even licked his muzzle a few times, something she generally doesn't do with other dogs, even our boy.
The female is not feeling well on account of her mastitis. She is moving carefully, kinda like we do when our stomachs feel really tender and painful. She exchanged sniffs, but gave a soft growl to warn the dogs not to jostle her. Our dogs toned it back and, while tails were still wagging, and gave her more space.
They've been petted by all of us, including our 10yr old son. Nikko, in true husky fashion sat down on my foot and leaned into my legs. Both loaded easily back into their kennels and are chilling there with our dogs. It is, amazingly enough, quiet.
