I was at a Pet Depot in Florence, and some lady said she could not keep hers at home that you couldn't keep them at home? She got rid of hers. She was what you call a back yard breeder and breeding small mixed dogs.
So anyway I would just like to hear what everybody else says about the Siberian Husky. Please tell me, as my daughter is wanting one too.(Me too)

They can be good with dogs and cats if properly socialized. They do tend to have a higher prey instinct than your average dog though.

The lady at Pet Depot is an idiot, and unfortunately there are many idiots who get siberian huskies. If she had read ANY book, article, website, etc. on huskies before getting hers she'd know that they are known to be escape artists and should never be allowed off-leash. They will dig, scale fences, etc...they love to run and roam. They are also stubborn, but intelligent...can be hard to train and know how to test you!

Don't get a husky based on looks!
