You need an iron hand and a strong character to handle a german sheppard as they are natural guardian dog type so you'll need to bring it to a school dog.
A husky is rather a family dog, not that much guardian but very playful and need to be taken out often because they have so much energy to release.

where did you get that from?
both german shepherds and huskies need (and accept only) one master
and if you check up on the german shepherd - the breed was constructed to be an allround utility dog breed not just a guard dog

A dog's behavoir can be altered based on how they are raised. You can't say that all GSD and Huskies are this and that.
My family and relatives have had GSDs when i was a kid and not one was taken to class yet they were very obedient, friendly, and playful. I currently have a GSD/Rottie mix and he's doing well. He is a playful and friendly guard dog who'll bark at anybody who enters our property if left alone. He welcomes anyone he's been introduced to before but is cautious.

Can't really say much about the huskies

Actually some breeds are more natural guard than others.
For example, GSD and Doberman are natural guard while a boxer and husky aren't
Beside that also you can find that some breeds have dominant type of character and others will be softer and rather follower.
Dogs are canine type so they live within an organized group just similar as for wolf. You have the dominant and the followers.
When someone adopt a dog, he/she should know that and must know what type of character you have. If, as a person, you dont have a strong character, its better for you to not adopt a GSP, doberman or a pitbull. The dog will try to find his place within the clan and if the master doesn't have enough power (personality strengh) the dog will naturally try to claim that spot. Thats the main reason why we see incidents involving a dog attacking people. most of a time he will do that to protect his master because he feel that the master is not strong enough to protect himself.
Its very interesting. I got these infos from dog school

A husky has an insane amount of energy.
Very very smart which is a good and bad thing in this case, a husky is a stubborn breed easy to train aslong as you keep their attention.

If you want a dog you can walk with off lead and stay beside you and play fetch a german shepher is the the best choice. they are easy to train loyal obediant and good guard dogs. if someone broke in your house the husky would probly be happy to see a new face.

to decide you should post your life style how long you have for walks and training ect.

i own a husky so i know how great and bad they are. always wanted a german shepherd though they are cool.

I'm looking for a tough yet kind, loyal, best companion by my side; a very intelligent dog they both are.


this^^^ I was gonna post the same thing basically
I own 2 German shepherds and they are amazing dogs my 3 month old puppy can sit shake go to bed lay down and they are so easy to teach :thumbsup:
