I'm considering buying a siberian husky. While I'm at work, I'll have to leave him at home - I hear they're good outdoor dogs and I thought I could let him roam on my land while I'm at home. Do I need to fence off an area to keep him from running away, and what would be an appropriate size?

Yes, of course you should.
>and what would be an appropriate size?
Wall of solid concrete about 5 meter tall above ground and at least half a meter under ground. Not kidding.

is keeping one indoors during the day the best idea then? I just worry it'll be cruel to keep one in a small space for a long time.

If you have something in the room it would be in - it won't be so cruel for dog, especially husky - they'll find something to play with really fast.

they're energetic, friendly, and I have a lot of time and space to offer one. Also, I'm interested in a dog that can bear cold and is quite rugged.

Huskies are bred to run, pull, and work. They aren't really the best as companions. They like to wander, tend to be very high energy, have very high prey drive but aren't very good as guard dogs. There are always exceptions, but don't count on being blessed with one.

other then energetic, friendly, and can handle cold weather....what other attributes are you looking for in a dog? cause if you were thinking about a dog that wants to play fetch with you all day, a husky is not like that at all.

Consider getting a Great Pyrenees. They seem to be what you are looking for.

They're awesome bros, hardly to the cold, semi-active without being overly so. They like to herd and guard stuff though, maybe you can buy him a couple of goats to herd while you're at work.

Our GP was the best dog but once we got rid of his goats he got fat lol.
