6. Siberian Husky – Energetic and Independent
Siberian Huskies are known for their stunning looks and high energy levels. Bred to pull sleds in harsh Arctic environments, Huskies are strong, independent, and often challenging to train.
While they are typically friendly with people, their high prey drive can make them aggressive toward smaller animals.
Huskies are also known for their escape-artist tendencies, and their independent nature can lead to stubborn or disobedient behavior if they are not properly exercised and mentally stimulated.
