Not a good idea. My friend had a chihuahua mix and she got a husky. The husky was supposedly friendly with other dogs. But when she got him home, the husky was constantly trying to attack her chihuahua. She tried taking the husky to a dog training class and they told her that huskies have such a high "prey drive" that their instinct tells them to attack small animals. They can't help it. She had to give her husky away.

Probably not good with your other dogs. Boo, my Siberian Husky, has a strong prey drive. She chases my cats and squirrels when we are on walks. They are not an easy breed to have.

Best thing to do is get a book. They have to be fact checked while anyone can and does write anything on the internet.
Talk to people who own them. They are not for everyone. There are clubs and rescue groups in major cities. Contact one of them too.
Every dog is different so you could probably find one that is OK with the smaller dogs.
Good for you asking questions BEFORE you get the dog. I wish more folks did that.

Probably not. They are cat killer for sure. Check out the Siberian Club of America website for more breed specific info on them.
