I think she was being sarcastic about the large dog part.
From what I gather...although I am not a husky owner...they jump, climb, and dig under fences, regular houdinis. Once they get out it can be a very long time before you get them back. They have oodles of energy and show it. They shed a TON, and a lot of them "speak" to you, all the time, in a high pitched whiney voice. If you ever heard a husky talk, you know what I mean. They have a HIGH prey drive. If they are not kept from being bored, they WILL find something else to do! They really need lots of socialization. They have health problems from A to Z...thyroid, epilepsy, etc. Make sure you breeder health tests, I cannot stress this enough, especially with this breed.
Husky people, I find, are kind of special in being able to deal with their breed. And husky people love the breed for those points. Other people who don't research the breed and just get a cute puppy always are in a world of trouble. I always prefer to tell people the negative points of a breed first. Huskies are great dogs, and other PTers will fill you in on the good stuff.
