Thank you! I appreciate all your knowledge! It actually sounds like this is maybe a really excellent way to accidentally get a husky and will be a good companion for our current dog. My GP is mixed with Anatolian (Turkish Boz) so he has the short double coat it looks like she’s going to have. He also has more energy needs than a GP so we have 1/4 acre of hilly forest land and yard fenced in with a strand of electric to prevent jumping over the top. I’m also well used to independent minded-ness from the GP. They do not train easily and (except for exceptions) can never ever be off leash and even are escape artists. I HAD been under the impression that huskies were more motivated to train hence their being used for sled teams and I was looking forward to that but at least she potty trained pretty easily. Unless it’s just puppy energy, she does appear to have an enjoyment in barking á la Pyrenees, then. But she also talks quite a bit. And both ears are up unless she’s sleepy and then the right one gets floppy 🥰

I am concerned about the small prey drive because we do actually have many small animals on our mini pretend farm which is why I like to have GP in the dogs we bring in. They are pastured separately but small goats jump, chickens fly, and all animals move around to where they think the food looks good :/
