If so, is it's temperament the same as they generalize on like, Wiki and dog sites? are they easily trainable? hwo are they with kids, cats and other dogs?

Sorry for so many questions! We jsut really want one, but the general temperament we've read makes it seem like a bad dog for our living situation.

what temperment problems have you read about?

they rest of your questions cannot be answered by anyone, including a breeder as each dog is different. a lot depends on the breeding behind the dog & of course the northern breeds need a LOT of exercise - runs, jogs etc.

they are going to blow coat & will need a lot of brushing with the proper tool.

since you seem to have serious doubts I would say no

i guess how you take care and nurture your pet has more effect in the temperament of your pet than what kind of breed it is.
