I have a husky, which is a general name for a sled-type of dog
Huskies are beautiful. Does it shed a lot?
Mine is an Alaskan husky and does not shed much.  However, it is not considered a pure-breed, so I cannot say for sure
So their are different breeds of Husky?
Oh yes.  For instance there is the siberian husky, which is known for its very thick coat, and stiff triangle ears
Are they good show dogs?
They could be, but I consider them more work dogs.  They are active, energetic and resiltiant. Their breed comes from a pretty cold and harsh environment
They are a pretty big dog, aren't they?
