Gerberian Shepsky

German shepherd husky mix is not a purebred dog which is a fact about all cross breeds or designer dogs. The husky German shepherd 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 effectively handle a Gerberian Shepsky the owner must have a decent knowledge of both parent breed and because it is not a purebred it is almost impossible to predict accurately how the offspring will turn out to be. The only certainty is that a Gerberian Shepsky will have traits of the German shepherd and the Siberian husky.

As a result of this fact, even the pups from the same litter can differ greatly in looks, characteristics, traits, behavior and temperament. So you cannot even use the outcome of a pup from a litter to predict how another pup from the same litter will turn out to be.
