The long haired Alaska dog is the result of human factors, and breeds are not recognized by the international dog society.The following is the relevant content of Alaska's coat:
The role of double layer guard woolDouble coat hair is essential to the survival of Alaska sled dogs. The waxy sensation of the hair oil determines the water resistant properties of the wool. The guard protects the thick, furry and insulated body. Dogs with flat, hollow, short, or soft hair do not have adequate self-protection in a severe arctic climate.
1. Double thick and hard Mao WeiAlaska sled dogs should have a thick, hard guard coat, not long and soft. Bottom lining should be dense, approximately 1 to 2 feet thick, oil and fluffy. The rough guard stood outside with a thick coat of fur round the neck. Guard hair length changeable, like the bottom cashmere; however, in general, on both sides of the body hair will moderate from short to medium length extending around the shoulders and neck, down from back and hips, and hips and tail area, the length of wool will be appropriate to increase. Alaska sled dogs usually have shorter, sparse hair when the summer months are shed.
Substandard wool1. hairAny one with only too long and / or soft hair is not possible to survive in the Arctic climate, so this is seen as a serious mistake for this breed.(1) working condition: when a dog is gasping for work during cold weather, long soft hair will collect moisture. Such hair is also easier to collect snow or other moisture, and dogs do not shake or loose them while they are working.(2) the rest of the state: in the rest of the time, the long haired dog will try to bite on me like a blanket of snow or frost. As a result, at best, will only let the dog become cold and wet, because the dog will be wet mouth. Then, when these dogs continue to exercise or work, in addition to the frost, snow or ice will gather hair, more dogs were placed in a cold bounding layer; reduce the dog's body temperature and work efficiency; let the dog easily become hypothermia.
