okay.... it's complicated, and I'm not real expert in all of this.....
first there are multiple "Huskies" - the "breed" characteristics are spread over a number of xxxx Husky names and "kin." different colorations and 'stockiness' of body, for example.
their coat varies a bit as well - however it is a "double coat" - long 'guard' hairs and then a thicker insulating 'undercoat' - and there is a lot of difference in the length of their coats. some are short(er) and 'even' some are long and fluffy cute and also a 'ragged' looking style.
ever see pix of bison/elk/moose shedding big 'patches' of hair? if left to nature their undercoat will shed the same way.
ours is the slender legged/body Siberian Husky - his guard coat is pushing 6 inches long. he is a four legged long tailed fur factory . . .
