Back when she was alive, I remember that she always hated tall people. When a tall person was in our home she'd have her eyes glued on them and make this angry face at them the entire time. Her fur would stand. She might growl or give a small warning bark and she'd follow them at a distance. At some point, we put her outside or in the kitchen to get her away from what was stressing her. We're pretty sure she would've bit them if we didn't. IIN?
I have no clue about her previous families in the first two years of her life. All I know is that the first one was from Alaska, the second owner was a preacher from a town over, the third was my aunt. She then gave her to my family for some reason and we took care of her for 15 years.
Thank you. For the longest time I assumed she was part Black Lab, since she had a Husky body but was mostly black/had a white belly, but like a year or two or three after she died, my father told me she was an Alaskan Husky. It's not an official breed of dog and their size, color, and overall look greatly vary.

Poor Blackie :( at least she had a good home with you.
My dog was always wary of new people, but she really hated men. The taller they were, the more she hated them...until she got to know them, then she'd worship them. All the men in our family are over 6 feet. My brother, who was around daily til the last 3 years of her life, is 6ft2-4, I think. I think she thought unknown tall men were the vet :( she hated him so much even though he was so good with her.
I dunno, I also think may be that sometimes a dog has been exposed to a man who is abusive.
The German shepherd that lived next door to my sister's first boyfriend was owned by a woman whose husband used to beat her. If I was out there by myself the dog could care less, but if Brett came out she was barking up a storm. She wasn't vicious though, I think she just didn't like men very much, she probably had PTSD.
