It's between a husky and a doberman, which.. might sound odd. In my readings dobermans are easier to train and seems like it would be a great dog for me... what do you guys think about the breed? Dobies and huskies are both very active, right? Would jogging with them twice a day be sufficient?

With the Husky it depends how long that jog is. 15 minutes each will not cut it. Also you are better off to combine the two walks into one longer one than to break it up into two shorter ones. You and your dog will get more out of one long one than two short ones ;) A good time to aim for is a minimum of one hour. Thats long enough to get your dog''s heart rate up and keep it up for a while to get some cardio excercise. 15 minutes is barely a warm up for them.
