Huskies are Certainly NOT in the same stereotype as Dobermans or Rotties.
At least not up in this neck of the woods. As a matter of fact, they are known to "hold the flashlight for the robber" because of their gentle nature and are used as babysitters for Inuit children in the north.
They just LOOK like wolves and I think their hunting instincts are more keen due to the fact that they are still a little closer to their ancestors then say, the spaniel. My husky killed A LOT of wild animals when she was alive...squirrels, raccoons, birds even. Hated it but couldn't stop it....sort of like my cats. You can't override thousands of years of instinct and with Huskies, it is VERY sharp.
Still, you can certainly try and discourage that behaviour and obedience training is important with ANY breed of dog.
