Not to belabor the point, but I know a lot of otherwise intelligent people get working dog breeds without being adequately prepared to handle their need for stimulation and exercise. I care about the welfare of animals and hate to see people get puppies recklessly. It's not "your business" if your choices involve the mistreatment of animals.

I'm happy to hear that Joel knows what he's doing, and apparently has a ridiculously big apartment. :) However, if a comment in this thread makes anyone think twice about getting a husky puppy, then it was worth it IMO. Sorry if those statements come off as nosy, that's not really the intent.
