Siberian Huskies like to be a part of the "pack". She will want to be with someone and not like to be left alone. Walking her, she'll PULL you along. If they get lose out doors, they RUN and RUN! If you chase them, they'll RUN even more. They pay NO ATTENTION whatever to traffic, so be careful and don't let her get hit!
She'll like to talk. She'll bark and howl with you if you enter into the came. She'll look you stright in the eye and make noises in her throat as if she's talking. With mine, it drives my wife nutz, and when I howl and bark with him, she'll scold us. He looks at me as if we were two "inocent" kids being punished by a "mean " mother.
He's mouthy too. Loves to grab your hand with his mouth, but does not hurt you. He terrifies new people, but he's harmless and simply wants to be buddies, most do. It is part of that pack dog thing.
They learn MANY words and ignore most when not in the mood. Punishment that works best is speaking loudly and harshly. Smacking one will only make them want to run away. Mine had been beaten by his first owner, and it took three years to get him to the point where he'd come home voluntarily after running off. You had to offer him a ride to the beach to get him in the car, and then he'd want to drive there DIRECTLY once he'd been lured with "Beach, Nick, Beach?" .
Anyway, they are good dogs, love their family, and like to be cool. Yours will need several haircuts a year in Fla..
Mine is a now 12, pure white with one blue and one brown eye, and weighs 70 lbs.
