First time dog owner, well aware I'm going to be taking on a stubborn, energetic 3 year old child with adhd.
Just so you know, that's an understatement.
Huskies are working dogs bred to run. They are crazy and love to escape. My family has owned two huskies and they were escape artists even into their older years. They need hours of exercise a day. Do you have a fenced yard? It is nice to have as it lets the dog burn its excess energy outside without having to walk it a bunch. Just be aware of digging and fence jumping, which it will try to do.
Also, whereabouts do you live? We had our dogs in northern Canada. Maybe husky owners more south might be able to attest to this, but I'd be worried about the heat, not only for shedding but for the wellness of the animal as well. They aren't really meant for hotter regions but perhaps I'm being hyperbolic. Make sure you don't live the poor thing unattended to in a car for too long when it is hot out.
Just be sure what you are getting into. Husky ownership has spiked recently and so has the abandonment of these animals once people realize how tough they are to handle. They require a shit ton of time and dedication. They are absolutely gorgeous animals, though, so I get it. Just maybe consider another breed that is aesthetically similar.
I'll also add that if you want a husky badly, you might want to consider getting a rescue. Like I said, these dogs get ditched all the time so you'd be doing a poor pupper a huge favor. An older husky would have less energy too but of course, rescues can have issues from previous ownership.
