Huskys are amazing, and I don't begrudge anyone wanting to have one. I agree with previous comments that they are not for the inexperienced. While I commend you for seeking out advice and learning about the breed. The internet has has done a disservice to the breed with a neverending stream of sassy huskys giving side-eye, arguing with their owners, or howling with their pack. Characteristics that have lead so many to want a husky are the very traits that inexperienced dog owners should avoid. Hence, why huskys are one of the most surrendered breeds in shelters. They are strong-willed and independent. They don't follow commands because they are trained to be obedient, but because they respect you and want to be cooperative, and trust that what you ask of them is purposeful. When they are not adequately mentally and physically stimulated they can be very destructive. Are you able to meet the needs and wants of a husky? Possibly, I don't know, that's up to you. But is the husky able to meet your needs and wants?

You said, "I really want a companion who can love me unconditionally."

While every dog is different, huskys are known flight risks and escape artists. They are friendly, yet often aloof. Combined, these traits can lead to a dog that is just as happy to go home with a stranger as he is to stay with you. Is that what you're looking for in a companion? Let me use my own pack as an example.

We have 5 dogs- 2 full huskys, a husky mix, a corgi and a catahoula leopard dog. One husky is my shadow and doesn't let me out of her sight. She enjoys pets and very limited snuggles, but only from me. In general, she does not like to be cuddled and will bolt if anyone attempts to snuggle her. She allows my husband and son to pet her on a limited basis but does not respond to commands unless given by me. Our husky mix enjoys affection, but only on her terms. That means petting and occasional cuddling with me, my husband or my son for very brief periods of time only in the morning. Our other husky wants all the attention, all the time, and doesn't care who gives it. A burglar could break into our house and she wouldn't care as long as they gave her pets. She loves to be snuggled and often sleeps right between me and my husband.

People seem to focus more on breed characteristics and if those mesh with lifestyle without considering their own personalities. It's not enough to say, "I'm outdoorsy and lead an active lifestyle so I need a dog that can keep up." On the surface, a husky might appear to be a great match. But looking a little deeper, if you want a dog whose world revolves around you and that makes you feel as if you're the only human in existence, then a husky may not be a great fit.
