At the risk of getting flames from the Husky lovers out there, don't buy
one unless you live in the country and have plenty of room for the dog to
do whatever wherever.  We have a half-Husky half-Shepard mutt who does some
unexplainable things.  At over three years of age, he still loses control
of his urine when he gets nervous, like when we bathe him.  Yet he will go
bounding through oceans of muddy water (more mud than water) of his own accord
with gleeful abandon.  He also loses control when you scold him or catch him
doing something he knows is wrong.  He also has a habbit of eating his own
feces.

Our vet says these kinds of things are typical of Huskies, and that he'd be
even more of a moron if he was pure-bred.  The bottom line is that most
Huskies are born brain-damaged, and that our mutt has just enough intelligence
to be "dangerous."

If you want more info, ask me about our efforts to house-break him in an
apartment (ever wonder why puppies are so cute ...).
