I would like to add my experiences. When I got Kira I was told that she would grow up and eat my baby, kill my cats and eventually turn on us. I went out of my way to ensure she was over the top socialised. She is exactly a month to the day apart in age from my little girl born august and Kira was born September both on the 18th. My little girl can cuddle, pat, brush and walk Kira with no issues at all and they aren't even 2 yet. As for the cats. Well iv never seen a stronger bond than between Kira and captain. She will cuddle him all day every day if she could. They sleep in the same bed and everything. So my advice is. Don't let people cloud your decisions with their judgements from a stereotype they know nothing about in the first place and alway always take the support you are given from anyone and everyone in the husky world as they speak from experience and can be more help than anything. I was just very lucky that my best friend who guided me more than any one with my girl has 2 amazing huskies one of which is a rescue from the sspca.
