You can easily recognize the Siberian Husky – a large, fluffy, white dog with gray spots that make up the saddle on its back, high-pitched call and need for attention. Her blue eyes pierce your soul, and her fur just beckons you to pet her. Huskies are very social and loyal dogs with an even temperament that can become a desirable mixed breed when crossed with other breeds.
Dogster has compiled a list of some of the most popular Husky mixes:
Pomsky – Pomeranian-Husky mix
Think of these as more like “fun-sized” Huskies, thanks to the dual Nordic influences of Pomeranian and Husky. “I just love their personality,” says Shannon Rafacz, a Pomsky breeder near Ocala, Florida. “They make great pets and great travel companions.”
Labsky – Labrador Retriever-Husky mix
Combining the Labrador Sport with the Sport Husky makes for a very active dog that enjoys being with their people and participating in activities.
Goberian – Golden Retriever-Husky mix
Like Labsky, the Goberian is ready for action, with a side of goofiness and love, courtesy of the Golden Retriever gene.
Huskypoo – Poodle-Husky mix
The addition of the Poodle’s often sought-after attributes may make this Husky mix slightly less allergenic than a purebred, but there are no guarantees. The addition of the Poodle doesn’t add a spring to the puppy’s walk and some extra need for love.
Pyrenees Husky – Great Pyrenees-Husky mix
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Pyrenees Husky can be quite large, thanks to the size of the Great Pyrenees. These dogs may exhibit the sensitive personality of the Great Pyrenees along with the need for work.
As with any mixed breed, make sure to do your research and talk to breeders about the individual personalities of the two parent breeds. But most of all, enjoy your puppy!
