I've got two. A pure bred and my husky + akita mix.
Hope you've got a ton of time to train them and brush them nearly daily, enough money to buy one hell of a crate since my pup has literally torn apart his metal crate rendering it useless, and one awesome vacuum.
The mix is a lot better behaved but she is a bit older so that may be why. The pup is about a year and a half now and still causes trouble, urinates in the house when hes pissed off, and despises carpet and tears it up at any chance he gets (he's already cost me over a grand to replace carpet). He also likes to eat cat shit from the litter pan in the basement, and when he does, he gets sick around 3-4am every single time and shits in the bedroom. So now I have to replace that stained carpet as well.
They're very time consuming and can get very expensive but I wouldn't trade them for the world...well maybe.
Oh, one more thing - make sure you run and work them A LOT. They're working dogs and hate to sit around - this causes them to create trouble. So spend a good amount of time running them or walking them daily as well.
