I'm thinking about getting a Siberian husky very soon but I want to do some research before actually getting one:

1) On most websites it says you shouldn't trust the dog of the leash. But I live right next to a park so if I was to take the dog there to play, let's say fetch, would it run away once I let it off the leash? (The park is enclosed to a certain extent)

2) I would keep the dog indoors most of the time, but apart from taking the dog out to walk and playing with it would it need to be let out in the backyard at times?

3) I hear the dogs can jump very high, if I leave it alone in the backyard would it venture off and just jump over the fence?

I've never had one before, so any help in appreciated!

I have a JRT who is also not supposed to be off the leash and she's just fine. A lot depends on how you train your dog.

I have no idea. That would be a question for the moderators. I believe that if they remove a members post, the member is informed by email. However, it is also possible that things have changed. Your best bet may to be to ask admin directly.
