Do you have the time and energy and space for a large dog? Huskies require large amounts of stimulation, as do most larger breeds. If you are not able to provide this, usually you will find them resorting to destructive behavior out of boredom.

Yes, I've owned dogs all my life(28 years old). We've had dogs as small as yorkies to as big as german shephards. I have a large enought home(1,200 sq ft.) and belong to a dog park about a mile from my house. Climate isn't bad(ohio), we get a good mix of warm and cold throughout the year.
Time wise I should be good. My job has a busy season, 4th quarter, where I travel quite a bit, but the rest of the year I mainly work from home and travel only a few days a month.
