Yes they are. Though they are only slightly less intelligent than the German and Dutch Shepherds (being the smartest of the northern large breeds), they learn very quickly and are very hyperactive. Huskies are descended from Siberian working dogs and they feel happy and very useful to their owners when they are given a task such as pulling a crate and if you take the time with them, they can also make good rescue dogs. The one thing you should know is that a husky is a very curious type of breed and they like to observe everything around them and learn from you.

They are also very quick to pick up certain knowledges unwanted to most owners such as opening the fridge with their jaws and raiding the food, flicking on the lights at the wrong time (at night while you're sleeping), digging their ways out of backyards, and even turning the doorknobs with their jaws to escape when left alone for long periods of time. They can also be destructive too if they feel confined in the house.

Also, a husky is only intelligent based on its curiousity but this intelligent should not be misinterpret like that of a humans'. For example, one husky was locked in the cool basement of the house when the owners were fed up with the howlings at night and in the morning the owners discovered that the temperature in their house rose hotter than usual. The husky actually turned on the heat, knowing that the switch in the laundry room alters the temperature of the house, but it only knew based on its memory of seeing the owners flick the switch to change the temperature.

Extremely, for people who can handle all their fur. And you have to give them a lot of exercise everyday and make sure their minds are stimulated because they're very intelligent. If not, they'll become a nuisance and ruin everything and get in a lot of trouble.
