What is the difference utonagan & northeren iunit Questions

thanks

cruisin for a bruisin!

I often notice a diff in coat type/length... but Im not an expert on them..

ETA: of what I have seen the utes are slightly bigger made...

Im going to stick my neck right out and say.... I have prefered the utes I have seen to the NI's..... runs

aww go on, really stick your neck out. What you really meant to say was 'I dont like NI's but lurrrrve Utes' *hide*

Now Melzy, what you really should have asked was

"Whats the difference between an NI, Ute and a Tamaskan?"

dont start u goin karate chop some twigs or something

um no

na... my only love is rotties... I dont hate any dog..

wher they not once the same dog

The utes were an offshoot....anyone what to guess at this one?
....the GSDX is about 26kgs....and 23inches to the shoulder....
the......is 2 1/2 in this picture


she was a bit younger in these ones...about 8 months

sorry what do you mean by offshoot ? your dogs r stunning

Don't worry about saying which one you prefer it is all about personal choice xxxxxx

(Ref size I think it is fair to say there is similar variety in both breeds xx)

I am going to dig out my show pics of each breed, may give OP an idea of the visual differences xxxx

She is not mine - she was handed in to the local rescue when she was 16 weeks. They were given everything the previous owner had so we know where she came from and what she was. She comes and stays sometimes when her owners go on holiday.

By off shoot - I think they all started out as NI's then a couple of breeders split off and called the dogs different things - they may or may not have added anything else, and they may or may not have done things 'better' - but that is the differnce - the name and the people who breed them (my understanding).

wow wee stunning i can tell the diffrences now but its hard to tell what hey are :?

yeah thats what i read on a site tonite but didnt know if it was true thats why i askd

I normally think its the coat I think the Utes have a longer fluffier coat.

OK, here are my Utonagan dogs
Sulin Cariad




Sulin Maelona





The main difference is that in the NI the long rough coat is seen as a fault, whilst in the Utonagan it is not and also in the Utonagan blue eyes are a fault whilst in the NI it is not.
I have to say I love the rough coat, because that is what my original dog had.

No guesses as to what the bitch is in my pics?

As can be seen from the pics, as with the NID, there are heavy coated Utes and shorter coated ones.

is that gsd genes that gives the longer coat :?

Werewolf do you have a Ute?
