I think he’ll look like this:
See the resemblance?
What will Pavel look like when he grows up?

Hope your coverage of Pavel´s development won´t make him so popular, that this willl be the next working breed to be destroyed by the show community :-(.
In Scandinavia, although a relative newcommer, it´s still an almost working breed only.
In America, they are used almost as nothing but hunting dogs, but Dave tells me some mushers want them in Canada.
Alaska. Not just Canada.
And Pavel’s veterinarian warned against mushers potentially stealing him for the Yukon Quest or Iditarod.
There are already Laika breeders in Netherlands and Germany who don’t really work with them. They say they do, but on the other hand, they don’t really.
Besides, there are no shortage of Laikas in the former Soviet blocs which are only show-dogs. I have had hunters from Norway and Finland sharing bad experiences with purchasing dogs from Baltic countries with certificates on penned animals and show-titles; then finding out they are not very good hunters.
The only fortune that seems to exist for now is that most dog-fanciers think the Laikas are impure mongrels or mutts.
Oh Pavel will be so unusually handsome looking uncommon dog breed that Dave will be constantly responding to those questions from passer bys.
Mushers may be looking a dog racer in him, a guy who can pull as well as run faster than the Siberians.
No, thank you, if I were Dave, i would decline without a second thought.
I just tell people Riley is an Elkhound cross. No need to advertise he’s a Swedish Vallhund.
Likewise for Pavel.
And no one really asked if Pavel is a breed or not. They just assume he’s an Alaskan Husky.
Sounds like a wise decision Dave. Of course, that wouldn’t prevent a musher form stealing him if he looked as though he had potential as a sled dog. You might want to rechip him in a spot where a thief is unlikely to look for an rfid.
If he is stolen, he may become first “Alaskan Husky” to lead an entire dogsled team to chase a black bear and tree it.
