The Siberian Husky
I have been thinking lately, should I get a dog when everything has settled? My first thought went to the mystical Siberian Husky. I am beguilled by their wolf-like appearance, their independence, and strong-will. Then, I started digging into their characteristics, ummm... what a disappointment. They are working dogs, dogs that are bred to pull cart, so they are happiest when they are doing their job. They look aggresive, but in truth they are extremely approachable, so friendly that they will even greet strangers. No good, cannot be a watch dog or a guard dog. Very difficult to train, they are not stupid though, just stubborn. Will not play games with you, like retrieving stick, cause they think what is the point of retrieving a stick when you are going to throw it again. They will shed, 365 days a year, even your vacuum cleaner will be choked. Lastly, they must always be on leash when out, else they will RUN, RUN, RUN..and disappear. Can't blame them, that is their nature. Still love them though.

I like Husky, my sister used to have one when she was in The USA. She told me this bred has a calm characteristic. I particularly like their massive palms..like tigers. If you really going to take one, remember to inform me ya.
Still planning, too difficult to take care, might try Alaskan Klee Kai instead. Smaller and a good watch dog, with protective instinct. Will let you know.
