Could I maybe make another suggestion? And PTers, please correct me if I'm wrong, but maybe a malamute would be a better choice? I've only known a few, but from the ones I've known, they are just as stubborn but more laid back than huskies. Maybe even a Samoyed or a Norweigan Elkhound, if you don't mind the coat?

I don't know you, at all, and judge your own self-but if you aren't really really experienced with a lot of dogs and their problems, I wouldn't get a husky. Can I ask why you switched from a Chessie to a husky? That's a huge switch in breed.
