COAT AND COLOR

In order to live through those harsh winter months of the North, Siberian Huskies were blessed with a thick coat. Their double coat is medium in length and is very effective in insulating them, keeping them both warm in the cold winter months and cool in the hot summers. 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 on their body. The undercoat typically sheds from the Siberian twice a year, during the change of season. Their coat requires little maintenance; that is, minimal brushing and bathing are needed, except for those Siberians who have what is called a “wooly coat.” The recessive trait of a "wooly" yields a longer coat, which requires frequent brushing to avoid matting.


The Siberian Husky comes in many colors ranging from black to pure white and everything in between—including copper, red, agouti, and sable. Siberian Husky can even have a variety of markings and striking patterns not found in other breeds.
