Jenna. And i have an Akita. They are bread for the same perpous as huskies and are great dogs! Even when mine was young she was super strong and now being full grown she is a beast lol. Since i live in florida she does not get much outside time with out being over heated but during the winter I take her everyday out to the park and put a harness on her and i wear roller blades and let her pull me till her heart is content! She loves it and usually goes anywhere from 6-10 miles everyday.
