I'm a fish and reptile guy and I don't know where to ask other than here, but I do know there's probably someone on this forum that can help. I just adopted this girl from a shelter and she was listed as a husky/pharaoh hound mix.

Can anybody tell me whether she is a pharaoh or ibizan hound? She's about 6 months and 33 pounds. Her eyes are Skye blue. Any thoughts would be appreciated

The third pic where she's sitting and looking at the camera gives me a strong staffy mix vibe. Other than the blue eyes, which aren't uncommon in staffies either, I'm seeing nothing that makes me think husky. You obviously doubt their assertion that its a pharaoh mix and I wonder about the husky part as well. If you really want to know you could get a DNA test.

The dog has a very strong resemblance to an young Ibizan Hound, more so than a Pharaoh Hound. With the color and pattern I would lean strongly towards an Ibizan or if mixed a very strong percentage of Ibizan in this dog.

I see no evadance of any type of Terrier in this dog, however that's just an outward observation you can never be 100% without knowing the lineage.
