| Coat
The coat of the Siberian Husky is double and medium in length, giving a
well furred appearance, but is never so long as to obscure the clean-cut
outline of the dog. The undercoat is soft and dense and of sufficient
length to support the outer coat. The guard hairs of the outer coat are
straight and somewhat smooth lying, never harsh nor standing straight off
from the body. It should be noted that the absence of the undercoat during
the shedding season is normal. Trimming of whiskers and fur between the
toes and around the feet to present a neater appearance is permissible.
Trimming the fur on any other part of the dog is not to be condoned and
should be severely penalized. Faults-Long, rough, or shaggy coat; texture
too harsh or too silky; trimming of the coat, except as permitted above. |
Coat - should be thick with a very soft and warm
under fur next to the skin. The guard hairs should not be too long,
and should be straight, not too coarse, and fairly close to the body so
that the graceful lines of the dogs are not obscured. A bushy or
shaggy coat is not desired. |
