Are stairs safe for Dogs?

I am thinking of getting a husky puppy but I keep reading online that stairs are bad for it. I suppose I could train it to poo on one of those floor pamper things or carry it up and down the stairs for as long as I can but as he or she gets bigger I might want to just start taking him outside without carrying it as I might fall doing so. I live on a second floor so the steps are just down and up. Do you think this would be unhealthy for it? It takes like 14-15 steps on the stairs to get up to my apartment. I attached a picture that shows a staircase about the same size as the one the dog would have to climb to get to my apartment when he or she is too big. Do you guys think it would be doable?

I don't know about huskies but Shepard s are prone to hip trouble
