8 weeks old is pretty much the earliest time to bring a puppy home. Ask to see the mom and dad, it's a good way to estimate size and personality. Dad may not be available, but any reputable breeder will have pictures, etc. I'm not familiar with husky health issues; but you ought to be. Make sure the breeder has done the appropriate testing to minimize health issues. Something like hip displasia can end up costing you $1000s and break your heart.
Look for signs that this might be a puppy mill, too many dogs, small cages, etc. Please don't support a puppy mill in any fashion, even though it seems you are rescuing a puppy, you will just be encouraging them to abuse others.
Finally, what Amonkie said. Huskys are hyper energetic with a very low threshold for boredom. Be sure that your lifestyle is appropriate.
