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. |

| Do huskies have a distinctly different coat for summer and winter? Kiba had a very full coat with a ruff around the neck area and the fur around her face made it look wide. After her first coat blow she has short fairly silky fur and she all around has a less puffy look. Especially in her face. You can see in my profile photo how she used to look last winter. |

| Yes! that's exactly what i mean (in the photos). Her face and neck have dramatically less fur and her tail looks kind of puny and sad lol. She's not a super fluffy girl anyhow but at least her fur seemed much thicker before. Thank you for posting pictures. i took one recently with her shorter coat but i cant find it hence, i cannot upload it. but yeah..skinnier looking/less fluff. super noticeable around the face where it used to appear wider.

| yep. kibas fur length looks exactly like links right now. i also keep wondering when shell start fluffing up again. i like them fluffier too : ) although i really havent seen a sibierian that wasnt cute regardless of their coat length. since this is my first full year having her its fascinating watching the changes huskys go through. my golden never really changed much except to gain a face mask when aging. |

| Abby, every time I see that picture of Kay after she lost her fur, I just chuckle. She looks crazy cute! Megan, Link looks so different from the pictures before and after. The other day I was looking at Karma and she lost a lot of winter fur, and looks so skinny, But after seeing your guy's pictures I feel better knowing it's not her weight. |
