From what i know and see(a couple of people i know have a husky). is that they are dogs that have a lot of energy, so you have to make sure that they are able to exhaust themselves, otherwise they can get anoying. They are great dogs.
great dogs. my family had our 15 years, we put it to rest bout a year ago. during the summer, get ready for hair everywhere.. they shed really bad. i mean really bad... but really loyal dogs and gorgeous. great choice.
There are a lot of really great resources for Husky owners on the web. I have a Husky mix, but I have known several people that have owned purebreads. They are very high energy and like to dig. They aren't great for security but are exellent with kids. They like to roam so make sure your yard is closed off properly and always use a leash. Shedding is an issue, but they are great dogs.
Don't want to turn this into a breed bashing thread, but I've heard that the "wolf" dogs can be a little more volatile than other breeds.
My only experience with a husky was one owned by a roommate of my sister's. The dog had taken some acid when it was a puppy and after that he was an unpredictable, aggressive and dangerous dog. He would take food from my sister and she'd have to let him or it'd be a fight. Eventually, the roommate had to put him down. He was a real pretty dog though.
They're too mild mannered to be a good fighting dog...but they are good looking and they like to run around a lot, so make sure you give it some space to get that energy out.
Not sure about that, but since the Husky is such a difficult breed to train (at least from what I've seen), I wouldn't be surprised if it's ill-adjusted Huskies doing the biting. About the difficult to train part, Huskies are independent as hell and not really prone to obeying orders just to please its owner (unlike the German Shepherd for instance.) Got to convince the dog that it's a good idea and to its benefit to obey you. My friend did this with food. Set down a strict eating hierarchy and make it obey orders before letting it eat so that it'll relate listening to you to something positive.
