They were bred for pulling a load for many hours, day after day for hundreds of kilometres. So, they need a lot of exercise or they get bored and will find their own way of getting stimulation (i.e indulging in what we could consider mischief). They are also excellent diggers and can jump over surprisingly high fences/walls. So, they are excellent escape artists too.

If you are experienced with dogs, it shouldn't be an issue and it will be a lot of fun as they are clever and to a degree independent too. On the other hand, if you aren't really clear about what you are getting into, it might spell trouble.

In any case, I wish you luck and hope that you find a suitable canine companion.

Huskys are awesome. I see them at the dog park. They're gorgeous dogs and have a ton of personality.

I don't know if I would get one if I lived in a tropical climate though. Like the southern U.S. states.

West Coast or New England...hell yes!

I've read they adapt okay to tropical climates!

I live in PR and I know quite a couple husky owners, the key according to them is to just try to keep them hydrated, cool and off hot pavement.

Yeah I live in Louisiana in southern U.S. and see tons of huskies at the dog park and they're playing as hard as the other dogs and seem very happy so they're probably fine!

I read the double coat protects from the cold AND the heat.

I shave my Aussies top coat every spring just for posterity and he does fine in the summer.

You should get one! Huskys are totally zany wonderful critters!
