    Huskys - can they have long hair?

    Can Huskys have long hair?
    All the pics i've seen they have shortish hair, if not, which breed looks similar with longer hair?

    Thanks :)

    Alaskan malamutes can have longer hair and look similar.. Cruiser is longer coated compared to Lola..

    I have seen a pic of a longer coated Sibe but not seen many,,

    wanted to add if you look for some of Mo's posts in the pics section.. there is of course her pack of 4 who have "normal" coats.. and one of the pups she bred the gorgeous Nanook.. he is longer coated..

    I don't really know much about those types of breeds

    Hi hevvur , siberian huskies don't have long hair , but some do have long hair but its considered a fault in siberians, i have seen 1 or 2 with a long coat, think its in some certain breeding lines but not sure which ones, i think HUSKADIE on this forum was trying to find a home for 1 not long ago, its now got a home but that one had a long coat on it. some malamutes i have seen did have long fur too, not sure if thats a fault in them or not, hope thats helped a little.:? ;-)

    As I said in my first post yes Malamutes do sometimes have a long coat.. it is NOT in the Breed Standard so in that respect yes its classed as a fault..

    Cruiser is longer coated so is not breed standard
    Lola has a normal coat though..

    here is a pic which shows both of them

    Although Cruiser still has a puppy coat..
