My dad was the one in our family who always wanted a husky. My grandma always told us about how ever since he was little, he wanted one, and begged. My grandma (my dads mom) isn't one to like big dogs too much, unless they were trained to a 'T'... she likes her little yappers. ANYWAYS.. Not too long after my Golden/ChowChow was PTS we thought it would be nice to have a buddy for Sarge to play with (Boxer/GSD). My mom came across an ad in the paper for a Siberian Husky puppy for 'free'. My mom immediately called my dad, and strangely enough my dad insisted she call them. So, we called, were screened and they felt Sheiba would be perfect for our home.
Ever since she came home with us, we were hooked. They are such a different breed. They can learn quickly if you catch their attention well enough, stubborn, beautiful, goofy dogs. They're friendly with just about everyone, and their personalities can range greatly amongst every individual dog. They're loyal to their family and love to be with them. They generally are great with other big dogs too, and small dogs or cats if you raise and train them correctly.
My family, nor I, will ever be without atleast two huskies in our home. I just cannot describe how wonderful they are, as long as you research.
My future breed will be a boxer. I had a boxer/GSD that was a wonderful dog. After being around other boxers too, I love their goofy personality. They are like giant puppies, and also do a very good job at telling when their owner is feeling tense or uneased in a situation. I've also enjoyed owning a rottweiler, and have to say I love their personality too. I completely agree with those of you who have said they are calm and collected, but can also be the biggest goof balls when they're feeling silly. Also always alert, but never over doing their job to protect their home. I see them like teddy bears. They're complete love bugs... and DEFINETLY food motivated LOL
Pitbulls are another breed I love, and the ones I had given a home too (even if it was for a short while) was because of their extremely friendly personality and wanting to say hello to everyone.
I got Kelso (GSD/Rottie or Chow) because he just seemed like a very sweet puppy. He wasn't crazy and wanting to tear up your fingers like most other puppies. He has been one of the most different dogs I've had. He has been different as far as training goes, and the way he learns. But he was great as a puppy. The only problem he had was chewing on shoes, but a few days of swap for a toy, and he quit. Such a good boy.
In the end, any dog that has a great personality is why I have a special place for them in my heart. It's usually that "click" that you feel inside when you know that dog is right for you, no matter the breed.
