We had a Husky once. Once. They definitely do 'talk' about things. They also blow their coats 2x per year, and from a volume perspective it's 3x-5x the volume of the dog each time! I've never seen so much fur come off an animal. I could fill up 3 entire garbage bags with fur, and they'd still have more to give. It was unreal. Dog would refuse to come inside when it was -37F outside for weeks on end. He'd go lay in the coldest, windiest and shadiest spot. He'd come inside for 5 seconds (just long enough to wolf down his food) and be back at the door "arguing" about wanting to go back outside. My Mom took him for a 'walk' one winter day. When she was gone for a long while we decided to go looking for her. Finally found her, covered in snow, about a mile from the house, half frozen to death. Words of wisdom...unless you have crampons on your boots, and are strong like bull, the chest harness on a Husky is pointless! (she got dragged about anywhere he wanted to go). They know one thing...pulling...and given the chance, they'll drag you into the next county (and beyond).
It's almost like it's a personal challenge. This dog was well behaved otherwise, but if you put a harness and a lead on him, that meant "PULL!"...and you were now connected to an all-wheel-drive snow tractor with unlimited energy!
