Has any one ever had a siberian husky with short and thinner fur?
Siberian Huskies do not have long fur as much as they have dense fur - thick and double-layered with tons of downy or woolly undercoat. A dog that is only a year old coming into summer will likely be blowing her last puppy coat, when her adult coat comes in this fall (probably after blowing coat again) it should be thicker and denser and more like a "typical" or correct Siberian coat. If not, I would look into a possible hormonal disorder, hypothyroidism affects the coat but is rare in dogs that young. Spaying may also help by removing a few hormonal fluctuations from the equation, or she may just be an individual without an "ideal" coat.
