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.

Some have shorter hair and some are fluffier - most siberians I've seen in the North Island of my country are generally quite short haired, they don't have as much of a mane as the south island ones... the south Island is closer to Antartica and gets more snow (so its a colder climate down there)
The North Island is hotter because it is closer to the equator.. So I'm picking it depends on your climate but will be genetics as well I guess because you can get what is known as a woolly husky... and thats a genetical thing..

Well thats the guts of it for my country, but there will be someone here that knows a crap load more then me about it, as I am a relatively new husky enthusiast myself Very Happy Plus things could be a bit different for your country as you guys have a bigger genetic pool for sibes then we do. Siberians were first introduced to New Zealand in 1977 by a woman called Charlene Wasson.

It's a combination of genetics and environment primarily. Genetics probably play the largest role, but the same dog raised in a warm environment vs. a cold environment will likely have a coat that has adapted differently.

He won't be "fluffy" until he matures, and even then it isn't a guarantee he will be fluffy. Like Sara said, it depends on genetics and where you live. If you live in a hotter climate; chances are your dog isn't going to be super fluffy. Colder climate; chances are your dog will have more fur. It's basically like when they blow their coat; they blow the winter coat and grow in a summer coat right? Well, they either have a summer coat all the time or a winter coat all the time.

Keep in mind that statement is no where near politically correct; but in layman's terms, it sums it up. Ish.
