The 8 Silver Dog Breeds
These powerful sled dogs often have black-and-white coats, but sometimes you’ll encounter one that’s a sleek silver. That coloring makes the Siberian Husky’s speed all the more impressive, as all you’ll see is a silver streak flying by you in the snow.
When you think of dogs that resemble wolves, the Norwegian Elkhound should be near the top of the list. While individuals only weigh about 50 pounds, they’re incredibly fierce pack hunters, and just a few of them are capable of bringing down a full-grown elk. Of course, if you bring one into your home, he’ll probably dedicate more time to helping you take down a large pizza.
