    Hi, Currently, I live in Connecticut but I'll be moving to Tennessee soon. My mom's going to let me get a dog, and I was looking at huskies. I know they take alot of work and are better for active people. Now, I'm not an active person myself, but I just had a coupple questions. The first being, I know there are alot of huskies down south dispite their better off in the cold weather. But if I were to get one in the south, how can I keep it happy, and not so hot; is an AC okay to use? Second, Some huskies are lazy, I've seen from alot of youtube videos, and in real life. Is that okay for them? I do really want a huskie and I want to get more active by owning one. Will the dogs incourage you to be more active with them? If you arn't, will they become lazy too? Third, My mom is against kennel training, she says it's like jail, but if the dog is being 'bad' when we're not at home such as taring apart furniture, what's another way we can teach it to behave accordingly? Fourth, Are huskies good house dogs, will they be alright if people come over, and about how much time out of the day do they require attention? Fifth, Two dogs that I've had, a lab, and a Sheapard lab mix, were able to be off the leash outside, and they stayed around us. Will a huskie take off and never come back? If it runs away, will it look for it's way home? Sixth, What is the life-span and adverage height and weight the dog should be? How much exercize should it get? What type of food should you give it, and how many times a day? Seventh, How often should you bathe a dog, and do huskies normally like water? Last, currently, I'm living with a friend who owns a black lab. I've taught her a coupple tricks such as placing her head down when told, and grabbing a treat to bring it back to herself before she eats it. How much harder is it to train a huskie to do simple tricks like these than a black lab? I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I get one, so thanks for your time, hope to get some answers before June. :D
