Traits

This form of mutation results in a total absence of pigment, turning the husky completely white. Huskies with this condition are known to have very sensitive skin and are unable to compete in any form of competition, including ability based competitions. The main difference between albinism and leucism is that in albinism all pigment is effected. With leucism, the eyes are normal, and often there may be some small patches of normal color evident.

For dogs that are albino or leucistic, they will have a 25% chance of passing on the mutation (50% if both parents have the mutation). If passed on, the puppy will receive the same type as the parent; if one parent is albino while the other is leucistic, is rolled 50/50 for which one the puppy will have.
