My last dog was a collie-husky cross. Huskies are often very frisky and hyper-energetic. In my opinion (and experience) I advise giving them some extra training, as well as getting them fixed a bit earlier than usual. I waited til mine was about 1 year old and then got him snipped, and it helped tone his craziness down a bit, but I still had to spend a ton of time with him training, which as it happens I loved and would have done anyway.
But if not for that snipping and training he would have remained a hyper ball of crazy jumping barking energy.
Oh, and be prepared for a lot of shedding.

ok definitely don't do the early snipping... this highly increases the chances of getting bone cancer with many breeds. I would wait until they are fully grown and have balanced out the hormones before getting it done. My gf was talked into doing this with her yellow lab (she was pretty young at the time) and he has battled cancer for the last 3 years. We've managed to control it with severe diet restrictions but believe me i wouldn't wish this on anyone.. The extra training would go much further in the end.
