Answer
Make sure you read about the breed for your own well being, a Siberian really isn't a good first dog. They are Stubborn and do not like to listen so advanced dog owners are better for this breed. But if you think you are up to the challenge by all means. Here are some website on the Siberian Husky.

And what you need

I disagree with the buckle collar for this breed they can slip them easy. I use a semi-slip collar, due to the fact a Siberian's neck is the same size as their head.
