Siberian Huskies are another breed known for their boundless energy. Their strong personality and desire for affection will make them compete with children for attention. If you want a guard dog to protect your brood, the Siberian Husky is not the breed for you. Since they were originally bred as sled dogs, they have no interest in protecting your home. But, with proper training and a lot of patience, this breed could be the perfect family dog for you and yours.
