German Shepherd Husky Mix Dog Breed – The Ultimate Guard Dog

Oct 6, 2020 | 26 comments


Is a Gerbarian Shepsky or a German Shepherd Husky Mix Dog Breed right for you? How do these popular breeds mix, and which one shows the common traits the most? If you are thinking of breeding these well-loved dogs together, here is a guide of what you can expect, how they look, and how well you can train them.

German Shepherd Husky Mix Dog Breed Highlight

Shepskies are Siberian Husky and German Shepherd parents. They can grow between 20 to 26 inches and weigh between 35 to 38 pounds as an adult.

They can have unique looks depending on their origin. Some pups look more like their Siberian husky side, while others look more like German Shepherd. They have a double-coated and thick layer of fur, the same as their parents. The colours range from blue and grey, tan, and brown, and black. 

The Regular Traits Of Husky German Shepherd Mix

Husky German shepherd hybrids shed moderately. They require brushing at least twice a week. These kinds of dogs are energetic. They require dog foods rich in vitamins and calcium to provide energy and to support their growth. These hybrids appear healthy than their parents.

Genetic Disorders In Baby German Shepherd

Shepskies are still prone to genetic diseases. They often gain the same disease their parents had. Some major health concerns you need to look out for are epilepsy and progressive retinal atrophy, among other minor health issues, including gastric and endocrine pancreatic deficiency.

Husky German Shepherd Mix Life Span

A husky German Shepherd Mix has a typical life span of ten to 13 years. They can be trained easily to become farming dogs, police dogs, and search and rescue partners. 

They are brilliant, loyal, and dependable. Shepskies are great family dogs too. They are loveable and careful to their owners and their owner’s children.

You commonly spend around 300 to 850 dollars when you buy a pup class german shepherd. Besides, 600 dollars for medical examinations and equipment services annually. You likely spend at least 1000 dollars on their basic needs alone.

German Shepherd Husky Mix Appearance

Appearance can be a little tricky to get on as they differ separately in each dog breed. Some have more Siberian husky features, while others look more like German Shepherds. However, there are common traits you will find when looking up images of these shepskies or, if ever you see a German shepherd husky mix. 

Anyway, we can draw some rough estimates on their size. Colour and features from many years of breeding them.

Size and Weight

German shepherds are large dogs that can grow anywhere from 30 to 46 inches as an adult. Siberian huskies are smaller. They grow from 20 to 23 inches tall. Both breeds are active and athletic as we have raised both breeds as working dogs.

 In weightage, huskies can weigh between 35 to 60 lbs while german shepherds are slightly heavier, from 49 to 88 lbs on an average. You can expect your shepsky’s size anywhere from the smallest husky to the giant german shepherd. 

Appearance and facial features 

For the general appearance, most of the shepskies acquire the wolf-like features of the husky. They have elongated nails, pointed ears, and usually get the prominent feature of striking blue eyes. 

However, some dogs get these conditions known as heterochromia (hetero = different). Sometimes, they have two different colours for their eyelids. One side often has the blue colour of huskies, while the other has the dark brown eyes of a german shepherd.

Different colours of a husky german shepherd also typically range from blue and grey black and brown, tan, cream, red, and the pretty much standard colours of german shepherd and husky.

 The pups typically get the colour of the shepherd, which is black and brown. For the coat, both breeds have a soft and straight fur coat. It relatively thick, so that they would feel more comfortable in colder areas than humid places. If you want to breed a shepsky, this is one consideration you should think about!

Husky German Shepherd Mix Temperament

German Shepherd Husky mixed breed has a calm temperament, but they can also tend to be aggressive. Some people fear these types of hybrid dogs because of their healthy teeth and jaws. 

However, train them well, and they wouldn’t hurt anyone unless they have to!. They usually attack people who have threatened them or their families. 

Shepskies are very loyal, as more dogs are. They are relatively social and happy pets. 

Getting a shepsky as a part of your family is a splendid choice, but you should have the ability to train them well, or you will need some extra trainer for them. Even when you have children, these dogs still treat them as they treat you. 

German Shepherd Coat Color Varieties

Black German Shepherd

Black is the most common colour in the dog breed. There are many colour variations in this shade. It can go from silver to dark black and chocolate colour. Usually, their back is darker, and they have black and shiny coverage on their face. They are usually alert and protective.

Black German Shepherd puppies are so expensive than adults. They are loyal, attractive, and attentive. They cost from $500 to $1000.

White German Shepherd

They are very rare in the market and positively charged. Their puppies cost between 500 to 1000 dollars. White German shepherds are exquisite and cute. As the standard goes up, registrars separate white german shepherds from German Shepherd dog breeds. 

Blue German Shepherds

Blue Shepherds are rare. They have a blue coat and eyes. Mainly, there are three different variations in this colour. They may be blue, tan and blue, or black and blue. They are loving and energetic. They also require advanced training and exercise.

White German Shepherds Husky Mix

It is a mixed breed of white german shepherd and Siberian Husky and purely belongs to a reliable white dog breed. German Shepherd Husky Mix is one of the most tripper dog breeds. Their owners utilize them for different purposes. As they are a beautiful blend of two major dog breeds, therefore they are all-rounder with countless qualities.
