Hey.

I have an 11 month old male husky called Kaiser... I got him last December and have been with him almost 24/7! He's the best dog ever but he is a husky and can be quite alot work (he is my dog so i might be a little biased!)

So i am going back to college soon and he will be more likely spending alot more time on his own, so i am thinking of getting another dog as a playmate... I have recently moved back home so i wouldnt be looking after both dogs myself for the near future anyway so the new dog would be my moms as she had hinted at getting a dog.

So im just wondering what is the best breed that wouldnt be too much work for my mom but still can handle the rough and tumble and get on well with a husky??

Also Kaiser has been neutered!

Sorry forgot to include a picture of the little fella!

To be honest, I'd say that's more about what your mom wants in a dog. If she wants a smaller dog, I'd say terriers can do well with huskies. Dizzy has a good friend that is a border terrier, he's about 15 lbs, but can keep up with his husky play. I've been sending Dizzy to daycare, and that has helped him tone down his intensity a lot. He plays fairly well with smaller dogs now.

*Edit - I should also mention, that any dog is going to add to the amount of work for your mom. Even if they play together, two is still more work than one. I think its best to let your mom decide and choose another dog if she wants one.
