But the best toy for a husky is another husky!
I agree! Huskies definitly need to have a buddy, because that pack-instinct is strong, but if you establish yourself as the "pack leader", you'll be just fine. And usually dogs of the opposite sex will get along better than with one of their own. I would definitly take her to meet your perspective choice at the pound - most places have an area they can meet in. that way they meet on neutral territory - much less threatening than having a strange dog show up in her home!

Too bad we don't live closer, my son has a young male (9 mos) that is looking for a new home - he's been great with my two! He had alot of anxiety and became a chronic howler because my son has to leave him alone all day, which isn't a very good life for a pack dog. But he's been the best-behaved little guy with us (I'm dog-sitting him for a couple weeks).
