i researched for months before i got Luka, i've had him for a week, and i still feel like i don't know what im doing half the time. I've owned dogs my entire life, but i can promise you huskies are NOTHING like other dogs. Luka is a little over 8 weeks and he is already the most independent dog i've ever seen. He does not like to follow my rules. that being said they are sweet, loveable, and the best cuddlers ever! I just think you should really research before you bring a husky home or you will be severely overwhelmed. With huskies you do learn by trying but you also need to have some general knowledge. i don't recommend anyone try "winging it"!
