Husky Fur?

[crow_noir]

That's what i was thinking, but i thought they were supposed to shed twice a year.

OMG i LOVE those pics of Paxil!!! SO beautiful... Reminds me of Kingy. I so want to come and pet her. And yes, that pile of fluff looks so familiar!... and as you said... that's only one brushing, one side! (Except King's pile was almost all white.)

Thanks!

Give her time. She'll shed great handfuls of fur, enough to knit with(I have hats ect made from my dogs fur) None of mine are shedding yet. Some of them will hold their winter coats until it's almost time to grow a new one. Franklin rarely sheds before September.

If she's an indoor dog in a fairly mild climate, the shed will be less than a husky in a colder place.

Is Koli a mix? our Malamute sheds all year round, but is shedding a ton more now that spring/summer has come. we have to "rake" her.

Is Koli a mix?

NO idea. She was just a stray.

It's pretty much been agreed upon that she is no less than about a 70 % chance a full Husky.

possibly some Malamute. Tinier possibility a Border Collie. Someone even suggested American Eskimo.

On a separate note i have finally noticed the tiniest hint of shedding beginning... this was with a bath and major brushing though... I don't know what dog doesn't shed after being bathed.

They shed A LOT! My mom's friend use to have a husky and she shed so much all the time. She kept her in the house so her hous ewas always covered with dog hair!

We use to have an alaskan malamute. She shed really bad too. She was an outside dog though so it wasn't as bad really. But, I'm sure she'll start shedding soon!!

pretty much to sum up your question, is YES.. Huskies Shed.. ALOT!!.. I get about 6 garbage bags out of my husky every year.. I swear if i kept it all i would have a full house of fur lol. Your husky might be mixed with somthing that doesnt have much of an undercoat.. Any pics?

I've got an 8 month old husky (i'm a first time owner of one) and she's been shedding since we got her (in december) but lately it's been a lot more.

How often should you brush a husky? I know if you groom dogs too much it can screw up their skin but.. She's sheds mad crazy.

WOW! I have NEVER heard that you can brush a dog too much. Some people will debate about bathing a dog too much.

I see nothing wrong with brushing a dog every day or every other day. I however see it as a weekly thing with most of the dogs I've had. It all really depends on what type you have.

There's a pic of her down near the bottom. There are also other links that will lead you to her other sites with more pictures. Your best bet is the care2 site.

As for the shedding... Nope, still not doing it. False alarm.
