This wolf-like dog blended in well with the cold surroundings. For a moment it looked like a wolf, but guess it was a relative and a domestic dog but there was no body seemingly with him at this time. If someone can identify the breed it would be appreciated.
Used the full 5 times zoom which needs to be steady. I was preparing to run, thinking it was a hunting wolf!
Thanks to Matt for likely ID. |

Hello Murray,
This dog seems to be an Alaskan Malamute, similar to the Husky. It is a good shot of the dogs’ proud stature and powerful physique. It is a little unfortunate that the image is a little out of focus or not sharp enough. Was a large zoom used here? Those eyes are the most beautiful feature. I have seen them with alternate coloured eyes, a bit like David Bowie.
Considering the location, it is more probable this is a Siberian Husky.

Hello Murray,
I agree with Matt this is a Siberian Husky. The thing that strikes me the most about this breed are their blue eyes. The stance is also very strong and when they attack people better run. I wish the image is a bit sharper However you managed a good portrait of this doggie. Thanks Murray :-)

Hi Murray. Sue goes all ga-ga over these dogs, they beautiful animals though. As the others say this shot is a little soft but that is forgivable given the magnificent pose you have captured. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Murray,
It seems the dog is observing something or on alert. It is used to cold weather. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the dog. A bit of extra USM would help. Thanks for sharing.
