Gerberian Shepsky is not a purebred

German shepherd husky mix is not a purebred dog which is a fact about all cross breeds or designer dogs. The German shepherd husky mix is a cross of the German shepherd and the Siberian husky and it is generally referred to by the portmanteau name: Gerberian Shepsky which is a simple merging of German/Siberian and Shepherd/husky.

The German shepherd husky mix is a good example of the modern day cross breeding practice that involves the use of two or more purebreds to produce a cross breed that is fancifully referred to as designer dog.

In order to be able to effectively handle any designer dog it is essential that one have some basic understanding of the outcome of cross breeding and the difference between purebreds and designer dogs.

The German shepherd and the Siberian husky are purebred dogs and by definition a purebred is a breed that has been bred over a sufficient length of time during which all of the traits and characteristic (both physical and non physical) of the breed has been fused in.

This means that just by merely looking at a dog you can tell what breed that it belongs to, for example the coat color and coat patterns of the German shepherd and the looks simply identifies the dog as a German shepherd.
