How white huskies came to be The coat color of dogs is mainly controlled by two pairs of alleles on the chromosomes, so it can be inferred from this that white huskies exist for a reason. A mutation in the gene that controls the color of the coat, hence the appearance of a white husky; or a mutation in the gene that controls pigmentation, resulting in a pure white husky color. Black, brown and gray are common coat colors for huskies, but pure white is also a color that can occur in purebred huskies, so white huskies are not impure, and whether a husky is purebred depends mainly on the character and the pedigree of the parents. In addition to coat color, body shape and appearance are more important to distinguish whether a husky is purebred, such as ears that are blunt, upright above the head, and almond-shaped eyes.
