 Reader's Comments on this Breed
   

From Mishka, Connecticut
I'm going to disagree that the husky is not good with children. We are on our third shelter/rescue husky and getting along with children is what makes all their other habits tolerable. Such as needing a pack (other dogs or not being left alone) running away, prey drive and FUR.
