They are so beautiful!
Huskies are about the most beautiful critters on earth, and people fall for their good looks. But they also have more personality, energy, confidence and brains than most people can handle. Do your homework before taking one home; they are not labs.
There is a solid white wolf/dog I have seen on several TV shows and maybe movies. I am pretty sure it is the same dog.
Malamutes and Huskies are not wolf breeds, As far as the Sarloos:
The saarloos wolfdog is a dog created in the Netherlands by a dutch breeder named Leendert Sarloos in 1921 when he wanted to create a improved version of the German Shepperd that can be immune to the distemper the first cross that he attempted to create the saarloos wolfdog was a German Shepperd male and a female Eurasian Wolf as far as we know he succeed since the saarloos wolf dog known today is an imposing and strong dog. Only thing is that it kept some of the characteristics from the wolf like cautious, very reserved and lacks ferocity when it comes to attack impulse.
Having been last bred with wolves around 90 years ago I find it difficult to call It a wolf breed currently. You might as well call all dogs wolf breeds.
I love my giant wolf dog. He’s an oddball who likes to keep his own counsel, and do his own thinking, but he has a gentle nature toward animals and people alike. Someone dumped him on my doorstep when he was a tiny, blue-eyed puppy, and I almost didn’t keep him. I’m glad I did.
We rescued a half-Husky dog about 14 years ago. She looks more like Husky than the Aussie Sheppard that is her other half. Anyway, I thought she would be great because I could take her out and run three miles or so with her every day.
She is a wonderful dog but is one of the laziest creatures I have ever encountered next to our cats. No one in our family could get to to walk or run past the Library which is exactly a half mile from our home. If we try to take her further she sits down and locks her front legs. Once she does that she cannot be moved unless we turn around towards home.
Her favorite thing to do is lay in the Family Room at our feet. Boisterous my rear end!
I havze had huskies...
great dogs, friendly, strong, but not too bright...
they need lots of room to run... if you live in a subdivision, do not get one, it is not fair to the animal..
they will dig, it is breed into them, they cannot be taught not to...
they are working animal, and crave and need lots of exersise....
I loved my Husky. The neighborhood’s cat owners weren’t real fond of her, though...

STUPID people
Why can’t they actually give a little thought as to what breed suits them, fits into their lives, etc.?
I have owned several Lab/mutt mixed dogs, all of them throw aways. They are probably the easiest dogs to own although mine are never allowed inside.
They probably would not be so good indoors but they love to roam around the yard. Good watch dogs except they are a little too friendly.
This one loved to kill rattlesnakes. He is very proud of himself.My sister has one of these wolf breeds. The dog is about a year old and always getting loose and disappearing because she doesn’t want to live in a doublewide. The fenced yard is no match for her. The dog is also very destructive. So my sister just whines that she can’t afford an electric fence and she is at her wit’s end, like she had no idea what she was getting into. She’s had one of these breeds before.
I was walking a remote trail once, enjoying the birds and critters, wishing it was hunting season. I passed a hiker going the opposite direction, they had a malamute. I didn’t see anything alive for the next five miles. The psycho dog had crisscrossed the region, rousting every living thing from its place for a quarter mile on either side of the trail. It was like a russian fishing trawler had gone through and vacuumed up the forest.
If it’s not chained to a sled north of the arctic circle, it shouldn’t be alive.
He had two huskys and no fenced yard and he let them run at will. They ended up killing a neighbor's cow and were ultimately put down........so stupid in letting them run like that.
Even though I have had GSDs for most of my life, after currently owning a Malamute, I’m not sure I could go back to any other breed.
I had a Shepard Huskie mix....that was maybe the best dog I ever owned.
