Sarah Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 How do huskies keep so clean and not smell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_3173 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think it has something to so with their many layers of fur the dirt only sits on the top and doesn't sink in were as a normal dog only has one layer of fur so when the dirt gets on its fur there isn't another layer to protect the skin so they end up smelling. I have just read this site http://www.ehow.com/how_2066255_groom-siberian-husky.html and it says Huskies clean themselves like cats and when dirty are quick to clean up their coats, paws, faces and tails. Just also found this site http://hubpages.com/hub/Owning-a-Siberian-Husky might be of some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I heard that they will lick themselves clean (almost like a cat). Every unday they will get extremely muddly an smelly and by Monday mornin they re clean again even if we haven't given them a bath. It's a good thing as it means not so many baths as bathing them too often can cause skin problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
