loudlucky Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Haven't seen it in the Husky books or can't remember anyone mentioning it before, but is it normal for them to have a 'mowhawk' on their head and necks at 4 months old??? It looks weird and cool at the same time Sorry the pic isnt the best of quality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Each has their own quirks I guess Dime has curly fur on the base of his tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Aww, i'm struggling to see exactly but I think that's the fur ruff around her head. Where the fur from her face is growing in one direction and the fur from the back is growing in the opposite direction and it meets in the middle and tufts out.

Emma Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 lol. Mohawk dog. that does make me laugh. I suppose it also depends on the seasons as the fur tends to be thicker in the winter time. You see in this pic below, the way the fur fans out around the side of the face? That's what i'm wondering is what happening here? I could be wrong but that is my guess, lol.

loudlucky Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yeah, she has that around the face too, but this is at the back in the middle between the head and up to where the shoulders begin...I'll try to get a better photo with the camera as the cellphone one sucks!

BlueWolf Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Is it like this? Dana has them during shedding. It's the way she sheds that the fur on her back is always the last one to go, which results in a funny looking mohawk all the way down her back. It's usually only visible for a week or two. Weirdly enough it doesn't show up every shed. These photos were taken a couple of years ago when the difference was really noticeable and she just walked around for a while with a big stripe on her back. I called her little Firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loudlucky Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Got some better pics that shows the length too looks like there's a hole on her head now where the 'mohawk' is splitting in two, the hair going over to both sides now, but the neck is still a mohawk and getting longer by the day! Weird dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Siberian Husky has a mohawk as well. I rescued her from a lady who had found her wondering the streets but couldn't keep her and she was thinking she may be mixed breed because of the mohawk. I've been googling mixed breed huskies and huskies with mohawks and came up empty lol. This explains why, hmm so now I'm mostly certain that she is 100% Husky and not a mix at all. This is very interesting, and I'm so glad this question was asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
