i have had siberian huskies for 15 yrs now, i find living with sibes great fun, they love everyone, suka my older bitch is more reserved with folks but has always been so., mishka loves folks she knows , loves to meet folks she dosen't know too, tries to jump up on everyone & kisses them or tries to my girls meet other dogs eagerly & love to play, no aggressive behaviour either, so well socialised, they aren't good off leash i find , mine stay on leads or run with my bike, their recall isn't great, if something more interesting to them they ignore you / go deaf, very strong hunting instinct, very stuborn too, but mishka is quite obedient for a sibe. my garden is like a fortress , wood fence & mesh on top , 6 ft high, concrete all around base & mesh buried in concrete too so no digging out , good fence jumpers some are too. They don't really bark , sort of wooo wooo noises instead . no good as a watchdog. i used to race my sibes , but no longer as most now too old. But getting another male sibe pup on january 27th. so will have a running mate for mishka. If exercised enough they are fine in a house, can be very destructive if left alone for long periods with no activities or a buddy for company.mine get about 2-3 hrs exercise daily.
