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. |

| That is awesome! Only a true Husky owner (well, maybe all northern breed owners) can look at that monstrous pile of fur and think of that a normal! |

| That's awesome! I have a neighbour who spins yarn (from sheep) and last summer we joked that we should try spinning Ghost's fur. But we didn't actually try it. Maybe we should. It's great that they can raise money for husky rescue that way. |

| We actually joked with Aaron's grandmother as well since she spins and weaves yarn. I totally want a Husky sweater! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Seems like a sweater would be itchy. Plus I don't know but I wear enough husky fur everyday I don't think I would to "purposely" wear it. It's a wonderful idea and for a great cause but.... more and more hair to wear...lol |

| The undercoat is softer than cashmere, and 80% warmer than wool. A sweater would be uncomfortably hot in most circumstances. |

| I would totally rock the scarf I think it would be a cute to have years down the road when they are no longer with you. That way you always have a little piece of them with you. I wonder if any of this can get fleas lol |

| A friend of mine from another forum spun HER friend's mal's sheds and knit her a scarf a year or so ago. I'm pretty sure she had to mix it with another fiber because the undercoat fibers were so short the yarn just pulled apart. She tried it on when she was finished and was amazed at how soft and warm it was. |

| We have joked we are going to get a doggy sweater made out of Appa hair and give it to his best friend because she gets too cold to stay out and play with him in the winter.
FYI: The place we looked at while jokingly discussing this charges about $120 to have enough yarn made for a scarf. |

| My mom's friend spins and my mom collects dog hair and llama hair (my parents own two llamas) to send to her. I've been collecting Siku and Elara's hair, but I don't have enough to send off yet. I could probably mix it with the llama hair and make something!
The samoyed booth at the meet the breed at the Eukanuba National had beanie and scarf made out of sammy fur. _________________ -Sara |
