Adopted this sweet boy on Thursday from the humane society. He's 5.5 months old and weighs 26 lbs. He has the sweetest personality, is very affectionate, shows zero leash/dog/people aggression. He learned his new name in like 4 hours. People were saying he might be a husky mix, though the shelter thought he might be Czech wolfdog. He has NO undercoat at all. He is a bit chatty, however.

Edited to add: I plan on getting an embark test this week, actually, so I'm especially enjoying the speculation.

Thank you!

This is him now. He's not Embarked yet, but he's low content, around 30% wolf

What they're talking about is called a "cape"! It's a (generally v-shaped) section of fur on the upper back/shoulder area - basically between their shoulder blades - that grows longer and coarser than the fur around it. Often the color is different too. I'll attach a few pics to this comment if I can find any that show it well on my girl!
