Sort of?
I wouldn't say Zander is extremely typical for a Siberian Husky, but he is definitely a Siberian Husky. They are known to be skittish, hyperactive, naughty, interesting sense of humor, smart, can't be off leash, high prey drive, etc. And in all of that he is very typical.
But he has his quirks, definitely. He's perfectly happy sleeping in until 3pm, going to bed early, only going on a small walk or none at all. He's independent with most people in his life, reserved/slightly skittish with strangers. But who he accepts as "HIS" like BeAu, or Child, there is absolutely no doubt in his affection. And it sort of fits in a way...Sibes will usually find that one person and cling to them, but more often than not they don't settle on people. They aren't people oriented. So it's a quirk, but a quirk that can be expected in the breed.
As far as the prey drive goes, he was raised around inside animals so he's fine with all small animals inside. We've never had a problem, he loves taking on the babysitter role, and he'd never intentionally hurt/hunt/stalk an inside animal or what he considers an inside animal (won't go after the pet rabbit outside, for example). But all outside, unknown, stranger critters are fair play and he's killed his share of pests.
Aggression isn't common in the breed, nor is protectiveness. Since they aren't people oriented and since they are "reserved" (i.e. bred to the skittish side), they don't often get aggressive or protective unless they are pushed past their limits and they learn that is their only alternative reaction to their environment. However, Zander CAN be very protective of Child. I knew he always loved children, absolutely adored them, but he's never really had his own child before. Since moving in with B&R, he's really taken to Rhio's son and it's been a huge learning curve for the both of us. Me learning how to redirect him correctly and him learning that not everything is a major threat to Child.
So he definitely has his quirks that aren't necessarily part of the breed, but he isn't so far left field that he's out of the ordinary. For an 8 out of 10, he's a good example of a Siberian Husky.
