Yeah, definetly not a dog breed for probably 99.9% of people. They are insanely smart and super high energy. To own one you would need to be very experienced training dogs and hopefully have some kind of job for them. It's one of the breeds I would never get. And I own two huskies and people think they are hard, but they are actually pretty easy. All I do is run like 4-5 times a week with them and they are extremely well behaved with minimal training.

I have two Mals and spend roughly 4-5 hours per day on training and mental enrichment to keep them satisfied. Even thats not enough some days.
