No fault of my Husky at all-she is 15 now, and has never cared for other dogs on her turf, especially little ones, but I do like my neighbor, so I grabbed the little dog out of harm’s way and returned it-that Yorkie hasn’t come through the fence since. My dog does love cats, though-she sleeps on the floor with “her” 3, and is friendly with neighbors’ cats...
I sure do admire Huskies - But I have always been partial to Malamutes myself... crossed with Wolf or G.Shepherd... Makes for a monster dog, and long in the leg, good for a pack or a pull... Smart as a whip, and don't take no guff from nobody. My last one was quite a scrapper, and liked nothing better than finding a bear to harass. Makes for a pretty easy and confident walk in the backwoods, that does...
I fell ill a while back, can't walk enough to stretch one of them out anymore, so my current pup is a mini Aussie Shepherd... makes for a decent cow dog. He's good on a whistle or a signal at range, and a good companion. And his poop goes right up the mower chute, which is a great feature.
But I am getting better, and the guy that I get my Malamutes from came down out of the sticks this spring to barter a pup to me for some work (I fix computers)... Beautiful blue eyed pup, with a black mouth and meat grabbers that cover half my palm @ 6 weeks. He's gonna be a big, big dude, sired from the (son of the) brother of my last one. Broke my heart to turn him down, but maybe next year.

That's just being neighborly... And that Husky probably would have used that Yorkie for a squeaky toy... It is a wonder to me that she can take the heat down there. Mine weren't really comfy till it gets below freezing, and they lay out on the snow like it's the beach at ten below.

Ain't that funny? mine have all put up with neighbor cats, and love their own too... But if there is an interloper, it is dead meat, just like that. And they discriminate against bobs and cougars too, without a thought.
