I own a Husky, Very active, Smart, Stubborn and hairy. They need a large amount of exercise and brushing.
Cant be trusted off lead either, They will come back but when they feel like it
For a simple pet go for a Retriever but if you warn a jogging buddy you can get either.
If you want a Husky cause they look awesome get a Malamute, They look the same but they are bigger and less energetic.
Nailed it. Husky's are f'in amazing though.
