Huskies are probably really good dogs but due to their high energy they require an experienced owner. If you haven't owned a dog before try starting with something more tame like Goldens, labs or greyhounds.
I never understood that. I mean I know some dogs are harder to train and you need to make sure they know you're the dominant person in the relationship but what's the point of getting an "easier" breed of dog when you don't want any other breed besides a husky? I don't think it's fair for the first dog if you only have your heart set for another dog.
As long as someone actually researches info about it and they can go to classes to help train their dog I don't think it's too hard. The problem is with people who don't do their research, don't get help when they need, or treats them like they're humans and not dogs.
