Do your research on breeds. Don't go picking a breed because it looks cool.
If you don't have the time and space a smart working dog will be your nightmare.
Something I highly recommend, go adopt one in a shelter.

I've been doing some research I know they are a effort based dog but I would hold nothing back and train him to the fullest! Give him all the time he needs to play and exercise. I don't want them just because they look cool I just am in love with them they are so affectionate and their intelligence is truly astounding!

They have a TON Of energy and require lots of excercise. If you're a really active person, and have the time to get them outside alot, then go for it
I have a Shepard mix that possibly has some husky and he's got energy for daayyssss

All dogs shed, but not all dogs shed an entire dog every week. I love huskies to death but god damn.

I'm an active person and striving to be even more so. So I'd like to get a husky to better myself in that aspect as well.

Huskies are awesome. I really like the giant mastiff breed of them (I think it begins with an M).
Animal hair isn't bad at all if you can manage to vaccuum/clean house twice a month or more

I was so close to getting a baby husky....however they ràised the price to 500:/ good deal still but I didn't have enough and it was sold to another person on the quick

Definitely this.. Lol..
We took in a Boston Terrier mix without doing any research on the breed first.. Dog is nuts, and extremely hyper active. I mean I love her and am not giving her up, but she's a damn handful for sure.

Dogs are awesome! They often make people better, calmer, more compassionate versions of their previous selves. You can have the shittiest day and when you walk through the door and they're all kissy-face, the rage just melts away. Are there husky rescue organizations? My last dog I got from Airedale terrier rescue. Turned out to be a wonderful dog.
