I know somebody who has a husky and the issues he has with his dog are the same as what everybody mentioned. His husky takes huge amounts of time and is not a dog for a young child unless mom or dad are going to take on responsibility of it.

I also work with somebody who has a few Alaskan Huskies who are sled dogs and are run every day. Very experienced owners who can't trust their dogs off leash and do not recommend them for first time owners.

This should be a dog that YOU want as you will be the primary care giver to the dog for 10-15 years. Want4rain has an excellent idea of going to the shelter. Get to know the dogs, different breeds, and then make your decision.
