Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of hair!!!
Howling
More hair
their great desire to just run and never stop
maybe the dog u have would either like your dog or fight him
Fur
Howling, or “talking”
More fur
Sneaking away
Ignoring your commands and screaming
Escaping
Fur
All in all, beautiful dogs.
Huskies are a different sort of dog, and when we get one, we need to assert ourselves as pack leader right off the bat. Here is a good list of tips for you to start with — http://www.husky-petlove.com/husky_alpha_training.html — and there is a lot of other, good information on this site about huskies.
I think that a group obedience is great for pups after they have had their series of puppy shots… it’s good for socialization. If you have dog parks, or trails in your area, another good idea. Dogs are social creatures, and it’s really a good idea to get your dog accustom to being in the company of other dogs.
You can find a lot of good information about huskies by doing a yahoo search. You can search for

I know you’ll enjoy your dog. We have one here, and although they can be very pig headed and independent, they are also loveable clowns! Have fun.
Very excited dogs… once there “blood” gets following they have trouble listening… Like to pull on a leash so teach not to do that while young and dont pull as hard… Crate train while ur gone or seclude him in one room cause they will get bored and scavenge in the garbage or chew up anything… always full of energy… really cool exciting dog breed… i had never been around one til about a year ago and already planning on getting one once i move out…
Well since it’s a husky it’s going to want to howl, let it howl it’s part of their breed; your going to have to brush it twice a year (fall and spring) for it’s going to shed a lot *depending on what breed of husky you get.) Sometimes they become food agressive, if they start becomming lime that feed them out of your hand, it will die off; also with toy agression I suggest keeping the toys up until you know how they will interact with each other. Now, make sure to check it’s eyes every so often, catterax is commen in this breed, so if it’s eyes are cloudy and it doesn’t show red/blue (depdends on eye color) then get it’s eyes checked. Make sure to excrise him/her daily, or it will get bored and make holes in the wall (like my 7 month old does) I could keep going, but I am being told to shut up XD
If you want more about the breed just send me an email at kingboo777@yahoo.com, I foster them so I know a lot about them.

Congratulations on your Siberian Husky puppy! Don’t automatically assume your Husky will behave like your other dog – they do tend to exhibit some breed-specific characteristics.
Huskies are escape artists. Many Sibe owners need a 6′ privacy fence with a cattle wire to keep our babies safe. NEVER LET THE DOG ROAM OFF LEASH!
The Sibernet-L mailing list (listserv) is devoted to the Siberian Husky and is open to all Siberian Husky owners, breeders, exhibitors or anyone with an interest in the Siberian Husky breed.
http://www.sos-srf.org/SibernetL.html
explains the list and gives information about how to join. Or you can find it though Google.
Sibernet-L was a life saver for us when we got two puppies almost 12 years ago!
Good luck!
