What do you guys think about Huskies? I am thinking about adopting a snow white husky from the adoption center that I see quite often =]

Expensive, but very pretty and extremely loyal. I used to have a husky before a soccer mom decided to take him out in a minivan.
They not an easy dog to train and some people can't keep up with their energy.

Thank you for your input! Yes, I don't know if I can keep up with them in terms of exercising alongside them because of work and studies ^^;

yeah, if you can't run when you take them for a walk it's prolly not a good idea to get one, if you don't get them the proper exercise, then your house will be a wreck lol

Do they tend to act up if they do not receive proper exercise?

I would suggest a different dog. Because they require alot of work.
It's all worth it but you won't be able to properly assert your alpha role over a husky when your schedule is so full.

my parents had one when i was growing up. cute/pretty but stuck up personality. if that makes sense. we also had a dog at the time we got from the pound. they had completely different personalities

you put food in front of the mut and he went to town

you put food in front of the husky he'd get up and walk away

he was cool to look at, but wasn't nearly as fun to play with as the golden retrievers, boxers, german shepards, etc etc other dogs i've owned.

also very territorial. i remember he took one of my socks and i went to take it from him and he snapped at me. i could pick up my st bernards favorite toy/food with my mouth (not that i would) and he would just watch me do it.

any pet will get anxious,

but dogs(especially big huskies) can destroy furniture , lawns, fences, everything, they NEED to be exercised thoroughly

that's just personality though, most huskies are extremely playful
