The white double coat consists of a short, dense undercoat, with a longer guard hair growing through it forming the outer coat, which is straight with no curl or wave.

  • Aversives for Dogs
    DOG BREEDS: NORDIC OF ALL THE FAMILIES OF DOGS, the northern bred canines are arguably man’s most reliable best friend. For centuries, these bold, hardy and intelligent dogs have lived and worked closely with humans performing a variety of services, from guarding to sledding to hunting. But, in addition to these critical jobs, they have also remained our eager and affectionate companions. Also known as the Nordic or Spitz dogs, these beautiful and complex canines are found in several different dog groups, from the well- known Siberian Husky in the Working Group to the pampered Pomeranian in the Toy Group. They include, but are not limited to: the Akita, the Alaskan Malamute, the American Eskimo Dog, the Chow Chow, the Finnish Spitz, the Keeshond, the Norwegian Elkhound, the Pomeranian, the Samoyed, the Schipperke, the Shiba Inu and the Siberian Husky. Despite differences in size and color, most Nordic breeds share several common Norwegian Elkhound characteristics . Some Like It . Cold? Though bred for a variety of different jobs, most northern dogs are, by necessity, physically built to handle the cold weather from which they originate. • Double Coat: Spitzes come from a region with such extreme cold temperatures that nature has outfitted them with TWO coats. A short undercoat that is almost Alaskan Malamute akin to “down” provides insulation for warmth. On top of the undercoat is a layer of guard hairs that are twice as long and water-resistant. Twice the fur definitely means twice the grooming! Be sure to brush and, when necessary, trim your Nordic dog’s coat regularly to prevent painful matting.

  • Music Has Soothing Charms
    POOCH NEWS Edition 11 / 2014 1.866.933.5111 www.ThePoochMobile.com Please Don’t Shave My Beautiful Coat Many Pooch Mobile customers ask should they have their dog shaved for the summer. The answer is simple...Never shave a double coated breed! A dogs coat provides insulation from the heat, cold and sun. Shaving your dog’s coat is actually interrupting the natural shedding process. Many people who have shaved their dogs coat in the past have experienced patches of the hair that never grows back or the hair grows back a different texture and often almost fuzzy looking. By interrupting the dog’s natural shedding cycle you may find you can actually be producing MORE shedding...and no house needs that. Dogs do not perspire like humans; rather they only perspire from the pads of their feet and from their mouths. The Pooch Mobile dog wash recommends the following dogs NOT be shaved - American Eskimo Dog, Golden Lab, Golden Retriever, Newfoundland, Chow, Saint Bernard, Akita, Husky or Alaskan Malamute. It is important to keep your double coated breeds thoroughly brushed out and washed on a regular basis to ensure the coat is kept in top condition. Another reason many dogs overheat can be contributed to those extra pounds they are carrying. Be honest, is your dog overweight? Look at helping your dog shed those extra pounds and keep that coat on and well groomed...your dog will thank you for it. Music Has Soothing Charms Dogs are amazing creatures, fully in tune with their owner’s emotional states.
