She's a lovely looking dog Mark
glad she's settled in well. My home was the third home for my Husky too, my son rescued her from a young couple who from six weeks old just left her outside all day and night. She was only 4 months when he got her and had had no training at all. He kept her until she was 8 months but being the father to 2 year old quads, and working long hours he worried she wasn't getting the exercise she needed.
So muggings here adopted her
She was a bit of a minx at first, decided to eat half the mattress one day whilst we were out shopping. Another time she chewed through the lead of the gas fire and my husband's electric recliner chair ( he's disabled) She is now 6 and I wouldn't be without her, despite the moulting which has just began in earnest. Huskies can be real characters, very stubborn at times and not good off lead as you say. I'm lucky where I live as it's very rural and I can let her off lead (selectively) I don't let her off in any woods as she will be off chasing anything that moves, they have a very strong prey instinct which no doubt you will find with yours. Cats, squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, rats, moles and voles are all targets, she will not come back if she is chasing something or has the scent. I've had a few narrow escapes with her.
They are great escape artists too, believe me they can dig under or get over high fences so beware of this. Mine managed to climb on to the top of the big water butt so she could look in next doors garden as they have a cat.
It is not all negative though, she is great with children and puppies, she loves people and she gets on well with other dogs who she plays with over the fields. She is also fiercely protective of me. Any dog she doesn't know who jumps up at me soon gets warned to stay away.
Strangely enough I've never heard her howl! She doesn't bark, but she does talk when she wants her treats.
best wishes Maggie
