My first dog was an Alaskan Husky, then a GSD and now my CsV. I love them all and I would say in order of 'crazyness', Huskys hands down first, then CsV second and GSD last.
So true about their "selective hearing" hahaha.
I'll put it this way, when walking out in the country with my dogs, my GSD would be right by my heel, always. My CsV will run up ahead to sniff something and look around but will come back to check on me. And my husky? Well, she would be gone like a bullet and come home by herself late at night covered in cowshit and some poor little woodland creature that turned into a snack in her jaws. [Very high roaming instinct that the GSD doesn't have.]
I spend every winter at a sled dog racing kennel so I get to be around lots and lots of huskys and Flint [my CsV] is TERRIFIED of them lol. Definitely more wild than my 'wolf.'
