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.

Can anyone link a good de-shedding brush or anything really to help with shedding. My husky mix has shortish hair but he sure as hell sheds a lot still. First time husky owner so I'm quite clueless on a few things and unfortunately that includes grooming.Terrible shedding 20190310

With a short coat that, I find a slicker brush works well. I like this one:

Another alternative is a high velocity pet dryer to blow out the hair.

We use a pin brush and a rake. Oddly enough, the first rake we got had short(ish) tines and I thought it worked pretty well. Then I got a longer-tined one because of our wooly coated boy. BUT, it works better even on our shorter haired girl.

Neither are as short-haired as yours, though.

Understand, during shedding season (our Mika has currently been shedding for MONTHS), even brushing EVERY DAY will probably not be enough.

A trick someone told me about but I haven't done yet is, if you live in a neighborhood where the houses are close together, brush them at the park. Otherwise, your yard (and your neighbor's yard) will be coated with husky hair.

+1 on brushing in open spaces.

We've only had Kona for 7 months now. He didn't blow too bad this fall (fresh from the shelter), but I wasn't too surprised when I easily pulled a fistful of down out of Kona's hip yesterday.

So we went down to the beach where the wind was a steady 12mph. I brushed him out, but what really did it was just playing with him - looked like a snowstorm!

Quick update - Kona is BLOWING his coat!

I've been rubbing him down outside and sending hairstorms down the street - the local sparrows love us!
The house, however, still looks like we sheered a running sheep...
