I got my male husky when he was 8 weeks old 12 years ago. His name is Alpha
He is such a gentle creature and extremely loving. They are pack type animals and finally three years ago i decided to get another dog. After lots of research i ended up with Sasha. She is a hybrid. She has a combo of husky, shepherd and wolf in her. She is much larger than my male husky. He is 60lbs while she is 85lbs.
As far as intelligence she is leaps and bounds smarter and more in tune with her surroundings. She is very protective of the house and strangers. They are basically my babies. Here are some pics of them as puppies and adults.
Thats the way my hybrid was. He would stand between me or my ex or her kid and any stranger in the house he didnt know. the hybrids are great animals, if you can handle their intellegence, and mine had a quite deviant sarcastic sense of humor. Mine would open dog proof garbage cans just to remind you he can, open doors, im pretty sure he knew how to change the channels on the tv. wish i woulda never left him with that b*tch when she decided she didnt want me around anymore!
