It's considered a disqualification in the AKC (don't know
about other countries). But really, if a Malamute has blue
eyes it's highly probable that there's a Siberian Husky
lurking in there somewhere.

Which breed standard? The AKC is perfectly clear on the subject of
blue eyes:

The tortured grammar of the original question makes it difficult to
understand. It is correct that blue eyes in a Malamute are excluded from
the breed standard and are therefore cause for disqualification in
conformation.

Ayup! Melinda's had a sig in rotation lately that addresses this
very issue.

I was instructed to join this site as part of my course. I was
informed that newsgroups where helpful source of information. Today
was the first time I used it and unfortunately I didn't realise that
there were rude and sarcastic people within these groups.

If you did not understand my original question you could have asked me
to reiterate it etc! Without having to be so rude. I am surprised that
individuals even post their questions on here with people such as you
so quick to insult!

I would like to say thank you for the people that answered my question
politely and very much appreciate it.

Much of my work is with non-native English speakers so I'm
used to parsing unusual constructions.

Your instructor should have informed you that this is not a "site."
It is a newsgroup, and as such, it is not something you can "join."

They can be. Your question *was* answered, wasn't it?

Most newsgroups, including this one, are unmoderated. There are no
niceness police here, nor is there currently a job vacancy in that
department.

If your skin is that thin, this is probably not a suitable forum for
you. There are hundreds of moderated dog-related mail-based groups
you could subscribe to, if you require a less anarchic experience.

http://groups.yahoo.com might be a good place to start.

My mistake, I suppose I just expect everyone to be well mannered to a
certain degree and not so picky! especially on something so trivial.

Anyways it has enlightened my day at work!

Thanks Guys.
