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.

| I recently got my husky puppy and I love him to death!!! He is 9 weeks old and full of energy! My husband and I were walking at the beach and i saw another husky puppy about two weeks older and I noticed that this one's fur was a lot slimmer and not as fluffy as my pups. So i was wondering... Is there different coat types for a Husky ranging from fluffy to not so fluffy? |

| Yes. They are usually called "wooley" coated. I've seen a few, and you're right, they are much fluffier! |

| Husky coats can vary GREATLY. Huskies can have various lengths and thickness of hair. A wooly Husky is even crazier than your average longer-haired fluffy Husky. Here's a photo of a Wooly - they are a sight to behold.

| Though it should be noted, wooly is considered a fault in the breed. Though they are very cute! _________________ -Sara |

| Dakota had a very full and fluffy coat but was not a wooley. Willow has a much more sleek coat. Her shedding is much, much less than what I had to deal with on Dakota. |

| I think it's also important to note that coat types will vary quite a bit even within the standard coat. It mainly boils down to genetics and also climate to an extent. Within standard coats you'll find some shorter, some longer, some thicker, some thinner and the range of in-betweens is pretty amazing and that's not even taking into account wooly coats. I've met lots of huskies with standard coats and have yet to find two coats that were exactly alike. _________________ |

| The only two huskies I've ever met with "the same" coat were less to due with genetics and more to due with lack-of-grooming. Poor things... |

| My husky is a "wooly" & she is beginning to shed a TON! She's a little fluffer, her coat is SO thick, but i think the make the best cuddlers! Like a big teddy bear. |

| I've been told Balon has an Irish Coat, which is not a wooley but is longer then some huskies. |
