Oh hilly!!! Vegas is georgeous!!! I have a rigdeback x rottie and shes the best!!! She would do anything for me... we had friends over and a friend bought one of his friends and he put his hand on my knee and she got up as fast as she could and growled at him and sat beside me the whole night!!!
You got a real stunner!!!

Lovely pics Candycaine, I like Nitro's blue eyes

You're actually not supposed to shave/clip the Sibe coat - it is double layered for insulation against both heat and cold.

I only got it shaved because I'm from Darwin, and its not like there completely bold, so they won't burn, and alot of breeders and keepers shave them in the hottest time of year which is around now, they've got a pond full of clean water, heaps of shade.

and it was also so there coat grow's evenly.

I wasn't going to get them clipped but because the ticks up in darwin are really bad its just easier to treat them when shaven.

should all grow back around 3 weeks to a month.

Coming from a dog groomer.

You can clip ANY breed and the coat will grow back the same, yes while their coat does protect them from both cold weather and hot that is back in siberia and the temperature doesn't reach 40 plus, their coats are suitable in their native homeland.

Very good move, every long coated dog should be clipped off during summer.
How would you like to wear a furr coat all through 40 degree days?

Haha tard

Well actually that's not true I'm afraid, dog groomer or not, shows how little you know about the Siberian Husky. Sibes are not routinely shaved/clipped. And they are not a 'long coated dog'. They are a double-coated Spitz breed with a short, dense coat which insulates against both heat and cold.

I have three Sibes, and I live in Brisbane. None of them have ever been (nor will ever be) clipped back. I also know a lot of Sibe breeders and showies - and none of them ever clip their dogs. The Sibe coat is not meant to be clipped - it actually reduces their ability to regulate their body temperature.

However as candycaine mentioned, she does live in a tick prone area, so for that reason I suppose I could understand having them clipped back. Finding a tick in a thick Spitz coat is nearly impossible.

Every long coated and most double coated with the except of maybe a lab.

1st pic is of my little man Gizmo.
He's a 5yr old Maltese/ShihTzu


2nd is Pebbles. BullArab X girl.
She was a very severe rescue case when she first came to me. She is the sweetest girl ever.
3yrs old nearly and has been with me 1.5yrs. Very protective of me.
Featured with Pebbles is my naughty Torti Soxy. She's about 5.5yrs now.


I love both my pooches to bits. They are spoiled rotten and I think they know it to.

Yes, and as I said - that shows just how little you know about Siberian Huskies.

Samoyeds are not routinely shaved/clipped either, but this does not mean that they can't be taken back short and yes i retyped long coated and double coated.

Obviously siberian huskys that are shown are not clipped, i have a pekingese and they are shown with coats that flow along the floor but the dog still remains hot and my peek gets shaved in summer and kept fluffy in winter.

Yes they don't HAVE to be clipped but i am saying it is the kindest thing you can do for your dog unless they sit in an air conditioned room during the whole of summer.

It insulates them but not on 30 plus degree days, they simply were not bred for that kind of heat.
