I guess I just have a different opinion but I absolutely hate it when people want dogs like that shaved. If you don't like their coat/shedding don't get a dog like that. Just my opinion.
Oh, I agree with you. I wasn't trying to promote shaving a husky, I was just saying it isn't always a problem. I'm sure there are dogs who's coats don't grow back right, but that is true of any breed. And it is the exception, not the rule.

I, too, think that people ought to do the research and get a breed they can live with. If they can't stand the coat blowing, then best not to get a husky. I certainly won't ever get another one, because of that reason. I will get only short-haired, single-coated breeds in the future. I just can't cope with the hair. In the spring and fall my sister's house looks like a sheep shearing shed. Seriously!

I do have to say, though, that I know quite a few people that have rescued a dogs from Animal Control or a shelter because they loved the dog's personality and wanted to save its life. They may absolutely LOVE everything about that dog, except it's massive amounts of hair. They get the dog shaved. The dog is happy - not to mention alive - and the people are happy. I don't have a problem with this.
