Some things you should know before you consider adding a Siberian Husky to your family:

Pros: 

The Siberian Husky loves everyone, even strangers.

Shedding occurs usually once a year in a male and twice a year for a non spayed female and the dander is less allergenic than other breeds.

They are very versatile, good in the show ring, obedience trials (if you have a lot of patience and a sense of humor;-), tracking and they make excellent therapy dogs.

They don't bark incessantly, they're good natured, demonstrative and very playful, and can be smarter than you are.

They are usually very good with other dogs and children.

Cons:

The Siberian Husky is not a watch dog.  They are just too friendly and don't bark enough to warn of approaching strangers.  They also howl.

When they do shed, they shed profusely, think large garbage bad full.

They require obedience training, but are easily bored with repetition and "military type" training methods usually don't work well with Siberians, they respond better to food or praise methods or "clicker" training.

They are not usually good with cats or small mammals since they consider them game, they may be ok if they are raised with them.

They make an art of running away.  Only a high fence (and usually on the ground deterrents) will keep Siberians home and then only if they get plenty of exercise.  They also aren't a dog you can let off leash, if you want a dog to go to the park and play frisbee with a Siberian is not for you.

They need plenty of human companionship and can become destructive if left alone too much. They also usually do better in a multiple dog family.

They love to dig and chew when bored.
