Answer 1

Hi David, I have both a Lab and a Husky. They are very protective, the husky is very alert and the lab is very loyal. Huskies were bred to run and they are escape artist, if you don't keep them on a leash or chain, they will run. They need room, not a townhouse or apartment. Huskys love the cold weather, my lab doesnt as much, but he handles it. I wouldnt want any other dogs than them, but you need to have a yard and a fenced one. They will both need flee treatments and heartworm. The husky keeps pretty clean it self. Though if you dont like dog hair, a husky is not for you, as they shed their coat and alot of it. If I were you I would read books on both dogs to get an idea. Both if my dogs are good around children, after awhile. Though huskys really don't like children that pull at them.
Meet: Natasha (Husky) and Bruno (Lab)

Siberian Huskies tend to be a little larger than labs and better suited to cold climates (the colder the better). I believe they both could be considered protective, it just depends on how close they are to the family and their personalities overall. They need a little room, I wouldn't recommend just leaving one in the house all of the time. They do need at least some room to run around in. It doesn't have to be a lot, just enough to stretch their legs. I don't know about the lifespan of Huskies, but I do know that if you take good care of them, labs can live for several years, sometimes up to twenty. I actually have a black lab (she is almost 9 years) and my brother has a Siberian Husky (he is 7 months). They are both very lovable and the lab has proven to be protective. I have noticed that the Husky tends to not feel well when it is warmer than about 50 degrees outside. He won't eat as well. If you are worried about shedding, labs would be your best bet. Huskies tend to shed everywhere. Good luck.

While labradors are good family dogs, they are not always good with cold weather. Huskies are built for cold weather, but just like labradors, both breeds need lots of room to run around in. They are mid to large size dogs, so need room to run, moderate amounts of food, and lots of attention.


Another good breed if you have the room for a dog to run around in, and live in a cold climate, would be a Malmute. They are beautiful dogs, very loyal, good with kids, and protective of their families.

Answer 4

Huskies often do no longer do nicely with cats. in case you improve the husky as a puppy with the cat, and the cat is defiant adequate to hold its own and supply the husky a solid bat on the nostril whilst he's playing too tough, it ought to paintings out. yet huskies many times have fairly extreme prey instincts, so i might beware for that if I have been you. Huskies additionally like to exercising and could prefer a minimum of two hours of exercising on a daily basis. inadequate exercising will convey approximately frustration and probable destructiveness or aggression. they're additionally VERY self sufficient thinkers or maybe although they're often clever adequate to %. up on tricks at as quickly as, they regularly preparation "selective listening to" as quickly as a handle isn't contemporary! As reported in the previous, in addition they shed plenty. This dogs could be saved indoors with the kinfolk, no longer exterior in a kennel. This breed is likewise no longer the form of dogs that is left on my own for 8 hours an afternoon jointly as the kinfolk is at paintings or college. i understand, that's a great form of undesirable stuff on the subject of the breed... yet they're eye-catching and extremely lovable dogs. they'll accompany you on any outdoor interest you prefer to pass on - hiking, strolling, purely a walk in the park, swimming, you call it. even with the indisputable fact that, please be conscious that they are not the breed for each individual, particularly no longer first-time dogs vendors.

got a german sheperd, close relative and a black lab/rot mix..

when I was growing up, we had a husky/wolf mix and she wa very protective of the family.

Both do pretty well in cold, mine are outside animals, I put straw in the pen for them. only have brought them in once, when we had a very bad ice storm.

they are both pretty protective and are good with kids, but they are like a F-5 tornado in the house!
