siberian huskies???

Here's a page with some siberian husky photos

Show dogs have a tendency to have a thicker coat, especially more around the neck, but the coat never obscures the clean-cut outline of the body. The majority of those dog's coats look more like Nebo's/Roxey's to me.

Here's a page specifically on the coat

Here's another photo of Nebo...



Nebo's mother...it's hard to tell in the photos, but her coat is defintely thicker and considerably longer around the neck.


Here's his father..

that very well could be, ever site i go to with siberian huskies they all look like anna and Tikeya, if i goto a racing site they have huskies that look like nebo and roxey.. weired.

When we were looking at pups we looked at a litter of racing line huskies. I looked at Nebo's litter the same day. The racing pups coats were much much thinner...they also lacked the color and facial mask. Also they were psycho! I've never seen more HYPER puppies!

Nebo's coat is pretty short for a siberian husky, and he also has fairly long legs. I still wouldn't call him a racing line husky, nor a show line husky. He's just a Nebo husky.

Tikeya and Anna are defintely *not* long-haired huskies (woolies). I've seen woolies, and their coats are much much longer. I would just classify them as a medium length coat.

Grooming really would not make a difference in the length of the guard hairs, but it does in the thickness of the coat. You can't tell from pics but the guard hairs at the base of Nebo's neck are really quite long, they just lay pretty flat. His coat is very soft and plush, and it's thinner on his sides...thicker on his back/neck/tail. I know his coat would look/feel thicker if I'd stop obsessively brushing him...but I like his coat the way it is.

No matter which coat is technically correct, they are all beautiful!
