Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So southwest Colorado has been extremely warm for this time of year and spider who normally blows her coat in February is blowing her coat now. 2 worries are something is wrong for this to happen and that when we get our normal below zero temps she will be cold. Is it something i should be worried about or are huskys known to randomly blow thier coats |

| Hi Lostmaniac!
Nothing to worry about! Huskies will blow their coat when they want to blow their coat. My 2 year old male husky blew his coat back in November, but my friend's husky is just blowing her coat now. We both live in the same area. It's completely dog dependent and nothing you need to worry about!
Just let them do their thing, and good luck keeping up with all that FUR! |

| oh gawd! 4 dogs...=/
Robot vacuum cleaner is honestly my best friend. Though expensive at first, I really do suggest investing in a high quality dog blower. I minimized his blow this fall from his usual 1 month long expedition to 1 week! Two best investments ever!
Good luck! |

| I use a mane comb tho i also have a bunch of other brushes. A metal currycomb works great also but carefully and tho its for horses not in the same motion as on a horse. And as for the carprt i got a grandi groom carpet rake and its become my best friend. |

| If your question is something that you can't find by doing a search then best to start a new thread. We have an entire section devoted to grooming. A lot of information out there, but the search can be finicky to use sometimes.
General overview of shedding and huskies:
they shed...a lot. Frequent brushing with a slicker brush or undercoat rake is recommended. That will help keep your house a little less hairy but you will still have to vacuum or sweep often. They shed heavily twice a year where they will look extra mangy. That is normal. It is also normal for them to shed after being rehomed if they were on a "junk" kibble at their prior home or shelter and have been switched to a higher quality food. _________________ |

| @Mannuel Generally I agree with @TwisterII but there are times ... If the topic is short and has stayed pretty much on topic and your question is 'close enough' then include it there. If the topic has wandered all over the back 40 (and some of our topics seem to do that) then include your question in that topic. If your topic is sorta unique (Why does my Husky have 6 toes?) then by all means start a new topic. As she says our search function is a little quirky. If I search for polydactyl on the search screen, it returns nothing. However, if I use the advanced function and click on 'Search Google' it returns one hit ( a cat named Polydactyl? ) I tend to use the advanced search whenever I try to find something here, btw. _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| Im here in Denver and i have spent a many Christmas's dealing with Jack blowing his coat at this time Finn has started on his hind quarters the last 2 weeks, Jack does not seems to be as bad this yr as in the past. I would say its normal for me here in CO. and even being out in the Snow they have been fine after a coat blow, i feel like the under coat comes in faster in the winter then summer. _________________ |
