Make sure you get a dog you can live with happily. If the husky isn't your type of dog, we can still help you find one that is a match for you and your needs. Huskies are friendly towards people and kids of all ages. They do jump and may knock down a small child, so don't get too upset when little Missy comes in the room dripping wet from all the licks the husky gave after dropping her to the floor. For a husky its just one more face to lick.
Huskies are on the top of the list, dogs that chew and dig.
As for chewing well they share that with just about any breed of dog. The digging comes from the need to get under the snow, out of the cold wind of the north, and was needed for survival. In most areas it's illegal to allow your dog to run loose. With the husky it's really a bad idea. The howling sound of the husky is great to hear if your a husky fan, but don't be surprised if your neighbor doesn't like the howl.
