Had one growing up, tough to handle and train, but a great dog nonetheless.

Me and my girl are planning to buy a White Shepherd some time in the future. We are going to name it ...Bolt (just like the movie)Originally Posted by eight2one
One day i want to own a german shepard.
Nah they do fine in any weather. My dad and stepmom have 4 and they live in Florida.Originally Posted by RHYTHMentality
I was about to get one back in '99, but I've heard Siberian Huskies don't do too well where it's above 60°F.
They are not "starter" dogs. These dogs can go anywhere from $200-$2000. You reeeeeally need to do your homework on this dog and the breeder.Originally Posted by OrenthalJames
Just some advice, these dogs HATE to be left alone. It is suggested to buy 2 of them so they can keep each other company.
from Yahoo Answers:
Some of the bad points:
1. They love people …. any people. This is sometimes seen as a lack of loyalty.
2. I do not believe that there is a type of dog that could be friendlier than a Husky. A Husky may alert you by his actions (running to a door or window etc) but he is not a watchdog by any stretch if the imagination. On the contrary, he will invite the bad guy in and show him where the good stuff is. And then help carry it out! It's in the breeding and I doubt that you can train them otherwise. Even if you abuse them (we have several that were very abused) they do not become mean ... they will just shy away from you. It's possible that they may (or may not) defend you against an attacker (more likely with an animal attacker). He very well may be a deterrent to someone looking to do bad stuff .... a "hungry wolf looking" dog looking back at them through the window ....
3. They have a STRONG desire to run. This was bred into them over many hundreds of generations. It cannot be trained out of them in a few months of obedience classes. They MUST be kept in a secure area. And taken out in open areas on a leash. They are escape artists like a hairy Houdini. They have been known to jump or climb over 6 foot fences. If they can't go over it they will go under it.
4. They are extremely intelligent and mischievous. You have to be smarter than they are to stay ahead of them. Don't laugh. It's true, they are smarter than
most people.
5. They are too independent and strong willed to make it through obedience training. (see # 4 above). They will know and understand the command but if they don't see the point in carrying it out they won't.
6. They are very keen and efficient hunter / killers.
7. They must be kept occupied. A BORED HUSKY IS A DESTRUCTIVE HUSKY! (see # 10 on below)
8. They shed. A LOT! Year round. Then twice a year or more they will "blow" their coats. This takes shedding to a whole new level.
9. They dig …. A LOT! You could rent your yard to NASA to train astronauts on.
10. They play ROUGH! Very rough. And they sometimes can draw blood. But it is still play.
11. They need company, either human or canine and will be miserable without it. Though they can survive outdoors they really need to be inside with their "pack"……. YOU!

this looks like a knock off bootlegOriginally Posted by realmc
i just bought a mixed shiba inu/husky puppy about 4 months back from puppyfind.com, however i was referred to the breeder by a friend who gave me good feedback about who i was dealing with.
my puppy looks just like a husky, but has a curly tail, pointy ears, and will grow to be a max weight of about 25-30 pounds.
best part about it is he is a real ladies man.
didn't know it was possible to have a bootleg of a living animal...Originally Posted by seniosoul
