YLL, please clear this up for me...who is Lambardy? Is that the malamute??
I do NOT recommend huskies to anyone as a first dog! No way...experienced owners only for huskies...guess that's just my opinion though. They are very stubborn dogs with a high prey drive, and should never be allowed off leash. They also tend to howl and dig. This is really not a dog I would encourage somebody who has no experience with dogs to get.Hukys are the sweetest dogs you can ever own I would suggest them to anyone looking for a first breed..I really feel sorry for that poor husky !!
That said, huskies should NOT be mean or vicious dogs...they are not supposed to be protective either. You can't judge an entire breed by one experience. I've bathed some pretty psychotic labs and lab mixes too! I've been bit at by golden retrievers too--yes, the "perfect family dog!"
The owner and also the breeding of a dog play a big role in it's temperament. Just because you see a dog that looks like it's a german shepard, doesn't mean the dog was bred with the correct temperment of a german shepard..over-breeding causes alot of the problems. Along with lack of training and poor owner suitability.
Nebo is a brat....but he's also just a puppy....he's a big sweetheart, and a very intelligent, yet stubborn dog. I love sibes, and I love Nebo.I can definitely see myself getting another husky in the future. But hey, if YLL had a bad experience with a husky, I dont' see why we care if she wants a husky or not...obviously she wants a yellow lab!
