Huskies are very intelligent dogs.A great breed. They are just obstinate and can be harder to train, but if they have an experienced owner that has done their research and knows what they are doing, than training is completely possible, just like with any breed.
It sounds to me like the breeder is speaking from personal experience, because most people don't just go around saying what dogs are stupid and whatnot. I bet she is comparing her German shepherds to a Siberian husky. German shepherds are easier to train, like most herding breeds are. It doesn't mean they are more intelligent or that Sibes are impossible to train.
And just because they aren't a police breed doesn't mean they are stupid. How many other breeds to you see as police dogs? I've only seen German shepherd, Catahoula leopard dog, rottweiler, doberman, belgian malinois, pitt bull, King shepherd, and Dutch shepherd. (I'm sure there are more). It doesn't mean all of the other breeds aren't trainable.
I think that breeder needs to do her research.
