Any Q

Overall the Husky and Malamute need very little grooming compared to other breeds, no trimming of hair is needed, just a regular brush to remove any dead hair. NEVER shave, strip or clip your Husky or Malamute close, unless required for medical reasons, or to tidy up the legs or belly of a longer-coated dog.
