| My GF and I have been looking at getting a dog. I would appreciate opinions from those of you who have had experience with dogs. We have narrowed it down to either a Alaskan Malamute or a Siberian Husky. I have done research and I know that I will be getting my hands full with either dog and I plan on spending a lot of time training and exercising the dog. I am also prepared for their stubbornness and wanting to be the "alpha". From what I have read it seems the Malamutes have an easier tempermant, more mild mannered, well behaved and controllable than the Husky. I have also heard that the Mals tend to be more loyal. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

No, I recommend not getting a husky. I have two of them. And trust me, they are only for the dedicated dog-lover. You have to laugh when they destroy things, because they do it so often, that you would end up killing it, if you got pissed. |

First and foremost, it depends on what your living situation is, and then you pick a dog around that. Don't even think about getting a big or even medium sized dog if you live in an apartment.
Unless you live in a house and have a fair share of property it would be unfair to get a larger dog like that. Walking the dog or taking it to the park on weekends would not be enough. |
