March 6, 2011 Mika has unusual fur?

Mika has a somewhat different coat of fur than most malamutes.  She has these long slender hairs that stick out on her sides and under her belly.  From a distance they are not very noticeable, but on a walk when the wind blows they blow out like slender feathers.    Below are 2 photo examples of these hairs.

I will also add a couple of updated photos here showing the fur that is regrowing on her right rear surgery leg.
