Characteristics of the Gerberian shepsky

the Gerberian Shepsky will manifest traits, physical and non physical characteristics of both parent breeds and it is not possible to predict which of the parent breed will be dominant and in what aspect of a pup’s life. However there are certain things that owners of Gerberian Shepsky can expect from the cross breed. These include:

• Both the German shepherd and the Siberian husky are big sized breeds, so it is only natural to expect a German shepherd husky mix pup to turn out as a big size dog.
• The parent breeds are high energy working breeds that were bred to be on the move: the German shepherd herding and the Siberian husky pulling sled across the arctic. This means that German shepherd husky mix will require a lot of activity beyond a mere daily walk in order to keep the dog well stimulated. Failure to do this will likely produce surprises for the owner as the dog will seek out other ways of expressing the energy locked inside of him. Be sure to expect some athleticism.
• The German shepherd husky mix adapts pretty well to apartment living.
• The Gerberian Shepsky will do fairly well i.e. above average in both hot and cold weather conditions.
• This cross breed is very friendly with family members and kids.
• Expect some serious shedding from your German shepherd husky mix. Therefore you should always have your grooming tools close by.
• If you cannot stand slobbering then you probably want to reconsider owning this cross breed because it drools beyond an average dog.
• You should keep an eye on the appetite of the Gerberian Shepsky because it has the tendency to put on weight. You should limit the treats and provide the dog with regular exercise.
• This is in no doubt: with a German shepherd husky mix you have a very intelligent dog in your hands.
• This cross breed has a high prey drive which means that it has a tendency to chase after moving objects like cars but more particularly after smaller animals like cats.
• Finally but not the least, in the German shepherd husky mix you have an extremely playful dog in your hands. Children will find a good companion in this dog.
