So my bf is HOOKED on huskies.....not even that they blow their coats got to him

So question for those with experience with them, may you tell me those experiences; the good and the bad?

I really want him to go to a kill-shelter or rescue. The kill-shelter here always gets all sort of purebreds, I've seen huskies a couple of times, stunning huskies...I even saw an Afghan Hound

But if anything a breeder might be an option, because I think he just wants the whole experience of raising a puppy, and it would be nice for the dog to grow up with my small dogs from a pup to then a big adult, because one of my dogs is somewhat fearful of some big dogs. But again its only an option, but recommendations of good reputable breeders would be nice, don't know how common that is to find one in South Florida, but he'll be willing to travel to get the puppy.

This won't be till loooooooooong time from now btw. Thanks in advance!
