Are y'all in Alaska? Cuz that dog is bred for sledding rather than an AKC-recognized breed. Scratch that. You said "reindeer", so... Finland? Alaskans would call those caribou hides. Either way, the dog's shedding pattern hints at a far north locale.

Nope. In Sweden. She is a Siberian Husky. There was something wrong with her and she stopped growing when she was about 4 months old. At the moment she shed most of her winter coat (I know, quite late). We brushed her two days ago, but more is coming out now. So she looks a little "special". Her brothers are normal size.

Given that you could be anywhere on the planet and my guess was only one country off -- one with a shared border and where both are (mostly) above the 60th parallel -- I am content with my guess. The growth issue explains why she doesn't look quite like a registered Siberian, and the fact that she's she's shedding is just expected. Of course you know that the never ending cycle of a new winter coat is already on the way. :-)
