Ugh, this is so true! I feel like huskies are the popular breed now, so everyone wants one.  I have a husky mix from the pound. Her history is really sad. She's had a multitude of different owners for the exact reason you said: people didn't do their research and didn't understand the work that went into owning a high-energy dog. As a result, she's got a lot of behavioral and anxiety problems. (She's getting a lot better, though!) My fat neighbor got this beautiful purebred husky puppy, which he keeps chained up in his backyard. I haven't seen him walk it once. I'm afraid it's going to have the same fate as my poor dog had - passed from person to person.
