I've always loved animals, and I've been blessed experience dogs, cats, mice, reptiles, and fish as pets.

 (My family rectified this situation by buying an invisible fence to put around our yard that comes with a cat collar. The cats will get a small shock every time they try to leave the yard, so they eventually learn the boundaries. This way, the cats can play outside without the dangers of leaving the yard.)<br><br>Overall, cats are very loving, easy-going, and low maintenance pets.){kind=link}
 and beauty, they lack in obedience.<br><br>Pros:<br>Huskies seem to be extremely loyal. In my experience, they pick one person in the family that is their "leader," which means they might not obey other people in the house.<br>He is extremely loyal and people-oriented and always wants to be pet or relax in the same room as us.<br>His health is very good.<br>Our husky very rarely barks.<br><br>Cons:<br>Our husky is unpredictable around small kids. He is fine around older kids, but he sees babies, toddlers, and small pets as prey to hunt, so we must keep them separated. I would not have a husky around infants, toddlers, or smaller pets, like cats.<br>He sheds like crazy. There is no end to his fur.<br>He is extremely stubborn and will only do things his way.<br>Huskies are huge, and so they are hard to walk (because they like to pull), and they would not be suitable for apartment living.<br><br>Overall, huskies are pretty good dogs, but I would not recommend having other pets or small children around them.){kind=link}
 for almost 13 years. She was the sweetest, smartest dog we've ever owned, but owning her did have some challenges.<br><br>Pros:<br>Moderate amount of activity. Even in her younger years, she did not demand too much exercise, but she was fairly active when we wanted to go for a walk or play, which would be perfect for working people or those living in apartments. <br>She didn't have any health problems until she was about 12 years old.<br>She was good with other dogs (even small ones), cats, and even mice on occasion. <br>She was extremely well-behaved and obedient, and she loved routine.<br>She was very vigilant and would make a good guard dog, but didn't bark incessantly.<br>Besides shedding, her grooming was very low maintenance, and she rarely smelled.<br><br>Cons:<br>She was terrified of water, so it was very difficult to bathe her.<br>She shed a lot of thick, black hair, especially in the summer. <br>She did not handle small children very well. A few times, she would growl if they got too close to her face, but she never hurt them.<br><br>Overall, I think any family would be blessed to get a labrador or labrador mix.){kind=link}
