Very pretty dog, and boy did that thing like to pull.
Rarely, if ever, barked.
When that dog got out, I had to chase it for hours sometimes. I loved it, except for that aspect.
I am pretty sure that my husky was the most "not smart" dog alive, but I imagine that had a lot to do with his rookie owner.
If you have the time to train it and give it plenty of exercise, they are cool dogs.
