As a former Husky owner I can chime in. First of all they can be amazing family members.
They are amazingly clean and because of their “fur” (not hair) they can seemingly make mud disappear within 1/2 hour.
They are escapists and can scale a 6 foot wood fence easily. You must dog proof your yard!
Shedding is unbelievable however you will have every bird in your yard collecting fur for nesting.
Usually cat killers.
Husky's are diggers and there will most likely be a hole (often in the middle of your yard) where it likes to lay in to keep cool.
Mine was quite Alpha yet would get along great with other dogs once he established his role.
He lived for 11 years and was perfectly healthy until suddenly he he was on deaths doorstep.
I still miss him, as with most breeds there is good and bad , but if you are willing to be a responsible owner, you will be rewarded with a great family member.
Just make sure you change your furnace filter 1000 times a year.
