Jolene,
Cowboy has been the most intelligent, playful, and gentle puppy that I have yet to encounter. Housetraining was an absolute breeze using the crate method. He has never barked or whined while in the house unless it is a playful bark directed at one of his toys. It was incredibly easy to teach this puppy what toys were "his" and what toys were daddy's.
He also received a clean bill of health from our family vet when we brought him in for a routine checkup and his final vaccination shots. In fact, our vet sends her compliments to the breeder of this puppy for the excellent health care he received before we adopted him.
Many thanks to the breeder of this animal, Jolene Houghtaling, for the great information she provided when I called her. If you are looking for a Siberian Husky or an Alaskan Malamute give this breeder a call.
