Just remember, when you're looking for that perfect modeling mutt to assist you, the northern breeds might not be the best.
I had a husky up to a couple of years ago, great friend she was, but a menace to my modeling. I learned a few things:
Huskies shed heavily, twice a year and their hair can float for an indefinite length of time in mid air.
A husky can land a shed hair on wet model paint from two rooms away and a floor up or down from you with better accuracy than an F-15E can drop a laser bomb.
If it lands on the floor, whatever it is, its as good as food to most dogs, even more so with huskies, and they're less afraid to get pushy with you than other dogs in the attempt to find out just what fell.
Don't leave anything on the floor around these dogs, while most other dogs with go to the trouble of stepping over or going around even a small object on the floor, a husky is just as likely to step right in the middle of it and keep going as if nothing happened.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my old husky and miss her a lot, she was a great friend, but am I ever glad I never built for shows! ;-)
