Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix |

What is the best environment for Siberian Husky and German Shepherd Dog Mixes? Here is advice from the ThriftyFun community.
Answers:
Desert Is Not The Best Climate For These Dogs
We live in the desert and had Siberian Husky & Black Lab mix. He was always so hot. He'd dig in the dirt to try to get cool. While he hated water, when he'd get really, really hot, he'd go stand in his huge water bucket we had, not lie down, but just stand in it. His digging in the soil was what ended his life as he contracted "Valley Fever", a respiratory disease. We had to put him down, almost 5 years ago, now. While he was a lot of joy to us, I'd not get that breed of dog again, while living here in the desert, I would if we lived in a cooler climate.

High Energy Dogs
Huskies are very high energy dogs so if you're not a jogger or plan to do agility, anything to keep them constantly busy, I'd go with a different dog. Shepherds are very intelligent and need brain stimulation too. If you're laid back go with a golden retriever mix. They are very happy just hanging around. Of course that's depending on what they're mixed with. You can tell their disposition by interacting with them. And a shelter is full of great dogs just waiting for you!

Lots Of Play Time
Hello, we own the same breed of dog and I agree that they need lots of play time and are very smart.

Lots Of Room
As far as the best environment goes, I would have to say that you definitely need a fairly large, fenced in yard at the very least. We have an acre lot fenced in and Jackson seems to love it. He is able to really get up a lot of speed as he runs laps when he is playing with us. Also, Jackson loves to dig but its been a year now and he doesn't seem interested in digging to get out of the fence. He just digs for the sheer enjoyment of digging. I am constantly filling in holes that he may dig anywhere in the yard. He also really loves going to the local Dog Park and running with the other dogs there. This type of environment seems to keep him happy as we do not have the time or stamina to take him for long walks or exercise runs.

Advice From An Owner
I rescued a dog that I am told is German Shepherd and Husky. I typed German Shepherd/Husky mix into the search bar and was happily surprised that such a site existed. My dog is guessed to be 2 yrs old and she ways 65 pounds. Her coat is fluffy and very soft and her personality is sweet and playful. She is also a bit wild and hyper.
We live in the valley, too. Everything we have read has told us not to shave long haired breeds in the summer, so we haven't. She has a doggie door and comes in whenever she wants and always has fresh water available. Vally fever is a threat here to pets and humans, but it can be successfully treated with antifungal medication. I am sorry to hear about the dog above who got ill.

Memories Of Lucy
I live in the Kansas City area. I've had dogs all my life of various mixes. Our last dog, Lucy, who we lost to stomach cancer, was absolutely the most loving, intelligent, and loyal dog we have ever owned. She was a German Shepherd/Husky mix. She was overweight at about 65 to 70 lbs. Size can vary and depends on many, many factors, the first being gender of course.
Our veterinarian told us when we bought Lucy that this mix is extremely intelligent and he was right. They can just about learn anything very quickly. I'd almost bet you could teach one to drive a car!

Kayla
Kayla is 15 months old and is a Gerberian Huskerd, as I like to call her. Kayla is a very sweet girl. Everyday she shows traits of each breed of dog. She is very loyal and protective like a shepherd and she LOVES to run, run, run like a husky!
Both breeds of dogs are bred to deal with colder types of climates, so warmer areas are ideally not the best setting for either or a mix of both. Huskies have up to 5 layers of fur and Shepherds can have up to 4! Imagine having 4 winter coats on during the hot months!
Also plenty of land is a a good thing, both dogs need tons of exercise and love to run long distances. I live in town, but there is a 5 acre dog park with lake access about 4 blocks away. Kayla just loves it there! She gets to play fetch, swim, plus have tons of social interaction with other dogs! Thats a GREAT thing!
As for separation anxiety, it's usually not common in huskies or shepherds. Really, they are usually just bored. Get your dog a Kong and just stuff that thing full of peanut butter, milkbones, cream cheese, whatever your pup really likes. I usually put a couple different treats in Kayla's Kong and she just LOVES it! This will keep your pup occupied for a while. If you are unsure what a Kong is, go to a pet supply store and just ask, they will know! Shepherds are especially smart dogs and need to be mentally stimulated as much as possible. Give your pup plenty of toys to play with, hide treats around the house for your pup to search for... give him/her something to do, give it time, and I bet you'll find that your dog doesn't really have separation anxiety, just needs something to keep the mind working.
Being a mix dog, almost any colors can happen, but I'll give you the basics of the breed colors. Shepherds are usually black, brown, reddish, and creme, only recently has white become an acceptable purebred color for shepherds. Only because there is an all white breed of shepherd was it not accepted before, thinking the dog could be a cross of the 2 shepherds. Huskies can be almost any color as well, generally white and grey, but they can also be red, black, brown... all of one color or a mix. Usually both dogs have a crownish type marking along the head and eyes and also have a lighter color on the belly/chest area. But like I said, being a mix, any coloring is possible. Also, Huskies tend to have a soft fur, whereas Shepherds usually have a more coarse hair. There are other ways to help determine the mix of your dog, like the husky curved tail and lighter eyes (not always blue, especially with a mix dog, this may not be prominent), shepherds have HUGE ears and low butts. Also Personality; Huskies main concerns generally tend to be RUNNING and a shepherd tends to be very loyal. Both breed are talkers and like to almost hold a conversation with you, its almost creepy.
As for the the pup that doesn't like to eat. First, obviously, take the dog to the vet and make sure it isn't an underlying health issue (beginning stages of worms, parvo is common in puppies.. easily treatable if caught early). But also keep in mind that Huskies are bred as sled dogs. Imagine how much food 10 dogs would eat in a week. That would be extremely heavy on a sled! Huskies were bred to not eat a lot. I had a purebred Siberian Husky in the past and she ate on her own once every 2-3 days. Huskies tend to have a slower metabolism so they keep this food longer. If you don't think thats what it is, id try switching foods until you find something your pup really likes. Don;t do it a lot as switching up food frequently can cause stomach issues. It could just be your pup doesn't like the food it has. If you think thats still not it, feed your dog extra treats that it does like. It is okay to feed your dog human food in small amounts, as long as you don't do it while you are eating. Make it seem as if the food you are giving the dog is for the dog, and not a shared food, or the dog will beg when you try to eat. Also, if you check your local grocery store in the meat section, sometimes they have extras they sell for cheap for dogs.
Don't be afraid to give your dog special treats! But make your pup work for them, do tricks, they're not free! CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION! There are a few foods you never-ever want to feed your dog. NEVER feed your dog peppers, onions or garlic! There is something in these foods that causes blood disease in dogs. NEVER feed your dog sugars or chocolates. Their digestive system is not made to handle food like that, and will cause the dog to become violently ill and a possibility of death. Also, keep the dairy intake very low. Its not necessarily bad for the dog, but over a long time of not having dairy, dogs, like people, become lactose intolerant and they will get the puppy squirts from it. Thats not pretty! A lot of dogs LOVE fruit. Kayla just loves melon and grapes! any fruit is okay for the dog. Peanut butter is a very common favorites amongst dogs. Keep in mind, these are just snacks and treats, don't use people food as your main diet for a dog.
Sorry so very long, but hopefully I was able to answer a few questions! Thanx!

Our Handsome Shepsky Dusty
We just got dusty when he was 7 weeks n had stopped drinking mom's milk. We are tryin to train him but his response is quite minimal. He doesnt seem to have a fetish for treats n we have tried a few. But his sense of loyalty in such a short period is amazin, I rarely have him on a leash when i take him for a walk but he always runs back(thts the good part). He does seem to like care n affection from strangers but I hope tht changes when they grow older as i rather not have him welcome strangers home. Yes he does have alot of separation anxiety n seems to howl more than bark. The main problem with him is biting, he seems to associate playin with biting and i am tryin to get it out of him unsuccessfully. I have a 3 yr old who yearns to play with dusty but he always seems to jump playfully on him but then starts biting his shirt. Any hints on how to curb tht. He is potty training pretty well as he only poos n wees in the back yard n when we take him for walks. Any helpful hints on preventing the biting n helpin reduce separation anxiety would be appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
I recently acquired a White Shepherd/ Husky mix, he is truly adorable. When my daughter and I first saw him we felt bad as he was kept chained and left outside (he did have an igloo to hide in). I always said if they can't keep him we would take him. Well that became a reality.
Toby has never been inside more then a few hours, we put our crate back up as we trained our lab scooby in it, who is a double AKC but very much a part of the family. Scooby sleeps on my daughters floor every night till he decides he wants to be outside.
Toby is untrained, no shots and not altered, yet. We got him yesterday as our neighbors are moving to town from the country. I have 3/4 of an acre fenced so he can run and feel free from his chains, I also have the crate set up in the basement and will get his shots when I get paid next week. So far he learned to sit and without a reward other then loving and good boys, we used the treats yesterday he seems to learn fast.
We also have 3 kitties one my daughter rescued when he was 2 weeks old who will be 2 years old Labor Day weekend. I hope he wont attempt to eat them. If anyone has any suggestions please send them my way, I am open to as much help as I can get.

Hey Kala's owner, enjoyed reading your comments, but grapes can be toxic to dogs. A few probably won't hurt, but many can.

This, is Sidka now at 4 months old, although he no longer has his blue eyes he is so cute, and since he was such a fantastic pup we couldnt resist going back three weeks later, from when we first got sidka at 8 weeks and getting his brother who is from the same litter but looks completley different, we named him Diego.....he is so cute and very soft and he looks like he has some malamute in him too as well as german shepherd and husky. They play together non stop and are a pair of cuties.

This is Tora, he is 2 now but we adopted him from the pound in January of 2007. He has become the center of our home. Very active but we have 5 children, we are an active family. The previous owners had abandoned him and for the life of me I don't know why. He is oh so sweet and absolutely wonderful with the kids. I'm glad I saw this site, I had no idea there were so many dogs out there like him. He truly is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the out!

This is our 4 month old Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix, Scout. We got him from a shelter when he was 8 weeks old and he has been an awesome dog. He is really smart, funny, and loyal. He loves to play but is also very calm, especially when we bring him places. He loves to run around, but so far has been very good at staying near us and coming when called. He loves to follow around our 3 year old shih-tzu, Buster.
Scout is great with other dogs, animals, people, and children. He does get a little bit anxious and "cries" when he is not with either my fiance, myself, or the both of us together but he is getting better with that. Scout loves to be the center of attention and isn't shy about pushing his way onto your lap to get noticed. His paws are huge and we have been told that he is going to be a really big boy! Scout always seems to have a huge smile on his face. He's a very happy boy!

Shady is a German Shepherd cross Siberian Husky. She is a very protective, energetic, smart dog. She loves going running, and has a very perky personality. She listens to what we talk about and as soon as the word "River" , "Walk" or "Lets go" comes out of our mouths, she is all perked up, howling at you and ready to go. It seems as if her knowledge for our vocabulary grows very fast.

Hello, I just adopted a Siberian Husky/German Shepard mix. She is a female about 3 months and 16lbs. We adopted her because I have an 6 month old Rottie (purebreed), so we wanted to have a playmate for him. Although they get along great, she is very fiesty with him. My Rottie is the biggest baby and has never growled at another dog, her on the other hand, loves to show her domiant side. I love them both so much, but I fear she is going to be hard to train, my rottie was a piece a cake, he was potty trained at 4months and just craves attention from any human or dog. Any feeback will be great, Thanks!! This is a pic of Desa (SH/GS mix) and Doszer (Rottweiler)

I recently adopted a puppy from a rescue shelter. All that I was told was that she was a Shepherd mix. We got her at two months old (See the picture). I was quite curious as to what she was (the other half) and at first I thought she was Shepherd/Akita but after looking at some of these pictures and combined with the fact she bolts to Huskies in the dog park, I'm pretty certain she is Shepherd/Akita.
This is my little Brillow. She loves to lay on your feet, adores all people (she shakes her tail so hard her butt moves with it) and loves to give out kisses to all dogs and people she meets! Everyone thinks it is hilarious how she kisses all the dogs she meets, licking their faces.
She is almost identical to some of the pups already posted...

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
I have just got myself a Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Cross.Although it has only been a short time with us, she is just an amazing dog. We named her CAIRO.I origionally got her as a work dog in the security industry.I am training detection dogs.Often the pure breeds are recommended,but a lot of cross breeds are used today as sniffer dogs. Cairo looks like a Shepherd and even the vet today was surprised she was a cross.
Cairo is 3 months old, black and tan and the most gentle dog I have ever met.She is layed back and casual and LOVES the kids to death.She doesnt care less about muy cats and is so good with my little Italian Greyhound. The only aggression she shows is towards my Kelpie male.Cairo wants to rip his face off all the time.My kelpie is such a high energy dog, not many people can tollerate him except me.Hes TOO in ya face and if her were a battery, he would be a long life, LOL!
I work from home in my office, and Cairo sits in here with me most of the time,unless the kids want her.
She does have energy, loads of it, but there is this gentle placidness to her as well. She doesnt knock things over or knock the kids over, unlike the Kelpie.
We lover her so much, we are statring to believe, she will be the family pet instead of one of my work dogs. Im hoping I can have both, LOL.
Never owning a husky or a shepherd, I truly believe, this is a magnificent breed, as you can all vouch for, and if anyone is looking for a new dog, or breed, PLEASE dont ever discount the Husky/Shepherd cross.Truly an wonderful all round dog.I would love to hear more feedback from you all?
Regards, Donna

This is Steve, who we believe to be a German Shepherd/Husky mix. We got him from a humane society and they could only tell us of the German Shepherd in his blood, but we're pretty sure he's got husky in him because of his traits. He's 12 weeks old, about 13lbs and is one of the most intelligent puppies I have met. He basically learned how to go outside to use the bathroom the first day we had him... which I just think he prefers to go on grass. He also learns tricks VERY fast! Sit was learned on the 1st day we had him, and I just taught him today how to play dead when I point my finger at him and say "bang." He's a joy to have around... very playful and energetic and sometimes a little turd.

We recently rescued a GSD/Husky mix in April 2008. My fiance and I had been going back and forth about which breed we wanted. I kept saying "why don't we just rescue". Low and behold he called me from a Petco and stated that he had fallen in love with a dog with blue eyes. I raced over on my lunch break and immediately realized why. How could I say no? Her name is Luna. She is incredible and somehow knew how to fetch without any training. I'm a proud mom at the dog park!

The method I use is when the husky pups are fed & watered. I usually wait a few minutes and take the pups outside an wait for them to do their business, as they get older you can watch the pup's behavior. If your lucky the pups will know where the door is after training. It's a process & works for us. We've done this several times. All of the new husky pup owners are very please with the results in their new homes. Best of luck.

Our Tai is 15 months, and is a very energetic gal. She hates getting baths, but loves being in the rain...
She has different pitches when she barks, especially when people come home, and she gets all excited to see them. A more masculine bark when my husband or his friends come, and a more whiny pitch when i come home.
She does want a LOT of attention, and we try to give her as much attention as we can with our busy schedules.
Her dad was a PURE GERMAN shepherd and her mom was a red/tan siberian husky.
You can definitely tell when she's being a husky and when she is being a german shepherd.
Regardless, we love her even though she drives us crazy sometimes!
Can anyone tell me what they did to tone down the barking, and the jumping? if they had that kind of problem?

My puppy absolutely loves butchers complete meat. We have tried lots of others and she was really picky. After trying lots of combos we put her on butchers after talking to our vet. She loves every bit of it. Her name is Shila she is fantastic little girl and loves everyone. She is really well behaved and gets on well with other dogs. Best looking dog ever.

RE: The Mix
Thanks to this board we found out what mix Tomlin is. Elkhound/GSD was not on the radar screen. He's still an arctic breed, just a different country. Lots of fun, enthusiastic - a real cuddle pup. At 70 lbs. he thinks he still a lap dog. This is a recent photo. He's 15 months of joy. We're hoping his ears stay flopped too.
I read with sadness about the dogs who are ill. May your last moments be as loving as the first.

I'm sorry for the ones who have posted here about dogs who are ill. We're going through something with one of our other dogs now too. May the last moments you have together be as loving as the first.

We just found out yesterday that our sweet girl of 13 yrs has cancer and only a few weeks left. Does anyone know of any Alaskan Husky/Shepard mix pups avail in the Northeast/New England? The Alaskan breed is a little smaller than the Siberian. At her max she was 66 lbs (and a bit chubby), now she's down to 46 (and too thin).
P.S. For all those with the question.... Haley's ears always stayed flopped.

This is our puppy Brownie she is 6 months old and her father was a full husky and mother was a husky/sheppard mix. She is very unique and we have been told over and over how beautiful her coloring is. We think she is one of a kind. She is the most gentle, smart and loving dog we've ever had.

Very pleased to find this thread. We always thought our stray street dog was a husky GSD mix but never knew. Surprised to see there are quite a few dogs on here that look very similar. Also amazing what a variety the mix of the breeds does produce.
Pippa has a beautiful temperament and is a very good dog until he sees a cat. We've had him for four and a half years now. He is very adaptable and a great house dog. There are lots more pix and stuff on his blog - look for pippadogblog. (1 June 2008)

I got Maverick at the pound in feb. '08 when she was only about 1 month old. As soon as I saw her pretty blue eyes, I knew she had to be mine. I love her, she is now going to be 5 months old....the pic was taken when she was less than 2 months.

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
This is our husky/Shepherd mix, Sidney. She a about a year old. Hard to handle, but sweet as can be. Loves digging my flower bed up, and chewing on my leather couch.... and waking me up at 5 in the morning cause she is bored. But she is sweet and loving and tries so hard to be good. Hardly ever succeeds though. :) Sometimes I think she just can't control her hyperness. She loves to run away too. But, she stays with in the three houses by us and when I act like I am going to walk away she runs after me... she thinks it's a game. Oh and if you are gone a lot... this is not the dog for you. They don't like being alone in a house with all their energy bottled up... things will be destroyed! lol (09/28/2007)

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
I love this site! This is Elvira, our 2.5 yo "German Husky"or "shepsky". She is so great; loyal,energetic, funny, protective, talkative, dominant, loving. She is great with my family, dog and cat included. She can be protective around people she doesn't know and doesn't generally like other dogs,except the lab-mix she lives with. Still chewing everything and needs to keep busy all the time. It took us 6 months to train her to the electronic fence, but was worth every minute. She doesn't like the leash...and we've tried every system! I can't imagine life without her. So beautiful and smart! (09/28/2007)

Appetie changes
My H/S X is Dexter he is two and a very smart and loyal dog. I love him to pieces. We just moved across the country (from Ontario to Alberta). We have been here for about a month now and I have noticed a marked change in his appetite. He seems to want food all the time now.Before he would eat LESS than the recommended amount and now he wants way more. (He actually 'asks' for it by using a certain tone of barking/moaning) Does anyone have any thoughts on why his appetite would suddenly increase? On a lighter note, does anyone else have a dog that tries to 'talk' to them. Dex seems to think if he's loud enough I might suddenly understand dog. : ) (09/28/2007)

I have a Husky Shepherd and Sammy is four years old. She weighs 75lbs. and is very protective. And she is jealous of my husband. But Larry takes her for walks and she is never out of energy. She loves the dog park and likes to see the other dogs. All she loves to do is run, run and run.
She is very sweet and I found her from a nurse who didn't have time for her because of work, Sammy came from the shelter to begin with. She does tricks and loves the couch, but I am trying to break her of that. She knows she is the queen of Whitehall and lets the kids know it when they come by our home. I wouldn't trade her for the world. (10/09/2007)

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
Hi, it's really neat reading what everyone has posted. My boyfriend and I just got a puppy. She's half Husky and half German Shepherd. Her name is Nikita and we got her when she was 5 and a half weeks old. Now she is 7 and a half weeks and it has been quite the experience so far. It's the first time both of us have had a puppy so we are definitely new but proud parents. When we got her she was very needy and definitely hated to be left alone. She has come really far since then though...Now when I am at college she stays home by herself. We crate trained her at night and she now sleeps straight through without crying. She is almost completely potty trained but still has a few accidents her and there. I have noticed that she is extremely intelligent and it does not take her long to catch on to things. She loves playing with other dogs and is full of energy. I have noticed she is really starting to dig and I have read that is what huskies like to do. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to prevent her from digging? Pretty soon we are going to go to dog training classes anyways. But we love her to death and wouldn't change anything since we got her. (10/26/2007)

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
Hi,
What a great site. I was directed here while looking for Shepherd husky mix puppies. We lost both are dogs within 15 months of each other. They both had the same mother but from different litters. They were born on our property and were buried here also. I could not have asked for any better dogs. They both had the best personality.
Sandy always had to bring you something when she saw you, it didn't matter if it was the smallest twig, she would search for something to present you. Silver was the vocal one. He loved to talk to you and whoo whoo was his typical greeting. They were raised by their mother on and around our property and we could leave them all day long outside and never had to worry about them running off. Although Sandy would be sitting outside the gate when we got home. She would hear us coming and walk back behind the gate and get all excited when she saw us.
When we began bringing them in at night we never had any house training issues, we would set beds down for them and that is where they would stay all evening long. They acted as if they had been inside all their lives. These dogs were so smart it was unbelievable. The only issues we ever had with them were digging and killing wildlife. They would chase anything that ran. We only had to scold them once about the cats we owned and they never chased them again.
I know we can never replace them but they have left a big hole in our heart and our lives. If anyone knows of any Shepherd/Husky mix puppies available in or around the Jacksonville, Florida area would you please email me at christinegurley AT hotmaildotcom. I would like a male and female(brother/sister) combo if possible. I have attached a picture of both Silver(grey) and Sandy(tan). (11/18/2007)

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
Hello,I live in Athens Greece and I adopted my siberian husky/german shepherd on February 2007, he was approximately 1 year old and a stray. I named him Sirius, after the Dog Star, because he brought starlight in my life. He is incredibly beautiful, and his intelligence and understanding is almost human. I didn't need to teach him anything, he grasped everything amazingly fast, only needed to be told (not ordered!!) once. Very calm, very affectionate to the immediate people and extremely polite to everyone (allows almost everyone to pet him, after a quick look at me for reassurance). Unfortunately, I have one big problem with him. While indoors or on the leash, he is docile and obeys like a soldier. When unleashed... bye-bye... :-(
He runs away and stays away for hours, even days if I don't find him. He doesn't listen (pretends he can't because he doesn't even look back) when I call him back, only if exhausted after hours and hours of vagabonding.
Although where we live is a nice place with almost no traffic and all houses have gardens and all, it still is very dangerous for him to vagabond.
The sad result is I cannot let him run free when I go to the sea or to the mountain and so we cannot enjoy sufficiently our time together out of town. He has to stay by the leash because I am afraid he will get lost or hurt.
Any advice..??? Would appreciate because he truly is extremely intelligent and kind, shows extreme dignity, "speaks", I hate to have him on leash all the time and not being able to let him run free. (11/22/2007)

Husky/German....My Girl Kita
I would have to agree with all of you about the play habits and life styles of the breed. I have a 1 year-old, names Nikita, (I call her Kita-Bear)...and she's a real sweety. She loves her face rubbed and she's very active. She likes to escape from the yard by climbing over the fence, so for now i have to watch her when i let her out. She's very protective, but loves to play and run. She knocked down our Christmas Tree already! haha. Shes a good friend and awesome dog...i wouldnt trade her for the world. (11/26/2007)

Heres Milla, our 11 month old WGSD x Siberian Husky. She always has the energy for anything. Very fast runner and although slim, she is really strong. I would reccomend a halti lead to stop these types of dogs pulling. Ive just completed a home made pulling harness for her, plz let it snow here in the U.K this year... Get the kids on a sledge and let Milla run, should be great fun. Trying hard to get her to leave my chickens alone but 'leave it' doesnt seem to be working. We all adore her, what a beautiful breed. Hope she lives for a long, long time ! Lovin' all these different looking dogs. They are all lovely. (12/01/2007)

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
I just got my siberian husky/german shepard a couple of weeks ago, she was born on 9/25 making her about 5 weeks old. She muh baby. She seems like a very good dog so far. Hasn't had any accidents in the crate, only in the house. I have a huge backyard and she does love to dig, she doesn't run too much with me as I would think..maybe as she gets older. I'm kinda new to raising a pup on my own..anyone have any tips on how to train her?
(b)Editor's Note:(/b) At 5 weeks she is still very young so won't run a lot yet, give her a few weeks and she'll run circles around you. Make sure to have her checked out by a vet and get her shots. She should have been with her mother at least another week so just remember she is very young and not much can be expected of her yet.

It doesn't get any easier!
I have a GSD cross Malamutt Husky, When he was a puppy he was a total maniac, destructive and general menace to society!
He was re-homed twice before I got him when he was 3 months old, after being treated like a baby by a lady who had lost a child in the first home he had and then he was put up for adoption a third time after killing an autistic child's 10 year old pet chicken! (whoops! It ran, he chased it! as they do when they are pups!)
I found Him (I named him Chaos for obvious reasons!) at a kennels which housed over spill from the local RSPCA. I was picking up my mothers westie which was boarding there, our eyes met and it was love! How could it not be he was just so adorable! I pestered the RSPCA to come round that day, and I picked him up the very next day!
If only that was a happy ending for our story...unfortunately not!
Chaos came to live a the public house I ran with my parents, he had a huge garden, a £500 lined kennel with a run for when I had deliveries and needed him safe and as much love and attention as any pup could wish for from a whole village of animal lovers! Unfortunately not even that could keep him occupied,
He was relentless, worse than any child I have ever met! And by the time he got to 18 months he was no better, I was at the end of my tether. I have a degree in Animal behavior and I thought I knew the keys to dog training (which are quite simple!). I felt like a complete failure, for both myself and Chaos, who I thought I was letting down.
I even resorted to contacting the police in regards to putting him up for a potential police dog, however after finding out the process I just couldn't do that to my beautiful boy. I stuck it out and I couldn't be happier I did, He Will be 7 this Christmas eve and I wouldn't swap a second of it.
He has calmed down a great deal but he is still an attention seeker, he will position himself between someone and the t.v and then howl at them till they play! He does still test me but when you realize that he waited till you left the room before licking the plate clean you all of a sudden realize that he is so intelligent, that's why he does it! It tends to stop me getting angry with him. I just let him take me for a walk (they pull very hard and they are very strong and big and heavy!).
Although I wouldn't change my decision in adopting him, I would never recommend this breed (it is becoming a popular mix as it get rid of the problem with hips in GSD's!) to anyone who isn't short of a saint with a massive garden, I'm talking a field!
They are beautiful dogs and I can completely understand why someone would want one obviously, but restrain yourselves, people, its not the best idea.
This is a working dog crossed with a working dog, they are not house dogs, they don't like being inside, they don't like being to hot, they don't like cats, chickens, shrews, or anything else that will run! They are hard working, and the person at the top is right, if you are not prepared to work them then in some way then don't get one. It won't be fair to you or the dog! (12/04/2007)

This is the late, great, Sparky (AKA Sparkles, Sparkalina) 1999-2006, a Husky Shepherd (c 50 lbs)who was a rescue from an animal shelter. Definitely one of the most brilliant, vital, loving, trustworthy dogs I've ever known. It is now over a year since she died an untimely death from bone cancer of the skull, originating in the nasal passage. I was told by the vet-oncologist that bone cancer is relatively common in this type of dog. Just curious if others have had the unfortunate experience of this 'breed tendency'. (12/18/2007)

She was about 6 or 7 weeks old when I took this picture and she's about 14 weeks old now weighing around 15 pounds. The vet said she should be around 80 by the time she's full grown. WOW.

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
Hello, I just adopted my German shepherd/ husky mix from animal shelter, his name was Dingo but he goes by Jalapeno now. He is truly a great dog. I thought he would be a difficult dog since he is a Husky but until when my brother said he looks like a German shepherd due to his ears, tail, hair, and color then I did research and found out he is a German shepherd too. I think the combination of German shepherd and husky are truly perfect balance. Jalapeno is very bright, he picks up things so quickly, faster than I ever imagined.
I would recommend you this breed if you would have time to train, be patient because sometimes Husky could be a stubborn, and keep close eye at all time because Husky always will have a tendency to run away, it is in their blood to run.
Other than that, good luck with your dog :)

He now attends day care (that's right :) once or twice a week due to the fact they he LOVES to play! Mom & Dad don't have the enegry or stamnia, so we think a sibling may be in order. Truly this mixed lot of love is the very best pet ANYONE could ever hope to own and care for. They deliver on so many levels, I just can't begin to tell you what a JOY he is!

To comment on the person directly above, there's been recent studies that say that grapes are VERY BAD for dogs! In fact, they can cause kidney failure in some breeds! And it isn't advised to give dogs peanut butter. They can't lick it off the roof of their mouths. some other things to stay away from are NUTS, BREAD DOUGH, SALMON, ONIONS, SUGARS COOKED CHICKEN BONES, TURKEY SKIN, MULCH, and believe it or not, POINSETTIA. Yes, some dogs actually will eat the plant during Christmas time! LOL. We mistakenly would give our Boxer, Spike, any food he begged for (except chocolate). Sadly, he died of stomach cancer two years ago, and it hurts to know that because of our ignorance, we lost one of the best dogs a kid (me) could grow up with. He was extremely protective of me, and I really miss him. (01/08/2008)

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
We have a beautiful Husky/GS mix named Zoe and she is great! She is a runner just like most other people said! If she sees a chance to get out the door, she is gone!! The only thing that will get her back, is if I get the car and ask her if she wants to go bye bye, then she will run and jump in the back seat. Sometimes I don't even have to leave the driveway, but if that happens, I usually take her for a ride around the block, so she will always come to the car in the future!!! Because it will happen again!!! The only thing I can say about her that is negative, is she protective of her food and I don't know why. We have had her since she was 5 weeks old and she was like that from day one! She will also growl at night when she doesn't want you to pet her or give her kisses, we say, Zoe is in cranky mode! We love her a lot! I aways get so many compliments on her when I take her for walks, people always say how beautiful she is! I would have to agree! (01/17/2008)

RE: Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Dog Mix
We got our Shepherd/Husky mix a couple days ago. He's so precious. Only, a day later - he went after our 6 year old Siamese mix cat and bam! his eye got wounded. We'll find out in 2 weeks if he'll get to keep the eye. He had surgery to speed up the healing process - you can see the button over his eye in the picture.
But let me tell you - he is SUCH a joy. He still goes after the cats, with his button eye and a growl, but he is a sweetheart. He does have a biting problem, but we're patient enough to work with him.
I will upload a better picture of him soon. I just wanted you all to meet Madison (9 weeks old). Thank you all so much for your valuable info and hopefully we'll have good news for our new baby in a couple weeks! (01/17/2008)
