Huskies are great. Grew up with two of them.
As far as dogs go, they are the closest to cats. They are horribly independent and stubborn, to the point where anyone inexperienced with them might write them off as untrainable. They basically do what they want, when they want, and will listen to you if they feel like it.
And if you have a yard with them in it, that yard will never have any grass. Instead, it will have many, many holes. From time to time, one of these holes will contain a husky.
I would love to have one now if I had the space for it. At the family home, we had two that spent most of their time outdoors. At one point, the neighbors (and my dad) got tired of the dogs getting out. They used to dig under the fence, so my dad dug and buried about two feet of concrete around the entire perimeter fence. Turns out both of them could jump a 6 foot fence no problem if that was the path of least resistance to the lake in the woods behind the house.
