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. |

| Hi! I was wondering at what age do huskies lose their puppy fur and can u really tell? I remember going to petsmart one day and met this couple who have 3 beautiful husky. I of course pet all three of them and notice that two of them their fur are not as soft as my pup (their pup was six months old, 9 months, and 1 and a half years) my pup at the time was about 5 months mayb 5 in a half months old. is it genetic for husky to have soft and not so soft fur or did they apply something on to the fur? |

| There are definitely different "types" of coat that can contribute to that. The puppy fur thing can also depend on when they were born (winter/summer etc...) My boy was born in the summer, so he wasn't old enough to shed his coat before winter. He didn't end up losing puppy fur until his first coat blow at 1+ year old. |

| Huskies generally shed their coats twice a year. Once before and once after Winter. The coat blow that is the worst is the one before winter. They usually will blow their coats after a year old.
Depending on the huskies coat type, how much they shed or how coarse/soft the fur feels. |

| Diet, sun exposure, grooming regiments, genetics...all play a part in coat condition and quality. |
