Here are a few of their traits:
1. high prey drive (they love to chase, that means no parks that are not fenced in basically can't let them off the leash in an open area)
2. very intelligent = hard to train
3. WILL destroy your yard. They love to dig and chew.
4. WILL pull on the lead.

If your girlfriend wants a Husky because they are cute and wolf like wrong reason to get one.

Sorry for the rant, i've seen a lot of huskies bought for the wrong reasons. Just a bit of advice.
I have an Alaskan Malamute - similar issues as Sibe's just twice the size. I have seen quite a few re homed because someone wanted a "wolf" and had no idea what they were in for.

Having said all that she has been part of our family for 12 years and I wold never change that.

You get out what you put in with dogs and kids
