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.

You can't even get any pup, husky included, from the humane society here that isn't snipped by 6-8 mths, which is quite a bit sooner than what I suggested in fact. They obviously disagree with you about the risk. Do you know for a fact that her dog wouldn't have gotten cancer were it not snipped early? No vet I've ever spoken to has reported this.
Btw, my dog lived to be 18 yrs old. No cancer of any kind.
