What is probably the number one question asked of us . . . . ? It is this: "How do #Huskies do in #Florida? Here is our answer which can be found on our website: http://www.siberrescue.com/faqs.html Huskies adapt to the weather here in Florida just like humans do. It is too hot for Huskies (and other breeds of #dogs) to be outside 24/7 here in Florida. However, Huskies will often sun themselves for 30-45 minutes at time. Dogs do not sweat like humans so the hair helps insulate them from the heat as well as the cold. They cool themselves from panting from the mouth and sweating at the paws. In Florida, their undercoat will not get as thick as it would if they lived in Alaska as compensation for the difference in temperature. However, SHAVING YOUR #DOG IS NOT NECESSARY AND NOT RECOMMENDED!! Shaving your #Husky will change the way their coat looks and feels and quite often it will grow back with different color tones. Also, Huskies have no pigment in their skin due to the fact they are supposed to have hair and they can become sun burned very easily. They are also more susceptible to heatstroke since the hair helps them keep cool. #animals #pets #Siberians #adoption #rescues
