The German Shepherd Husky mix, also known as a Shepsky or Gerberian Shepsky, is a popular designer dog resulting from breeding a German Shepherd with a Siberian Husky.
Their appearance inherits traits from both parent breeds. They are typically medium to large dogs with a sturdy build, erect ears, and a bushy tail.
Shepskies inherit the intelligence and loyalty of German Shepherds and the friendliness and playfulness of Siberian Huskies. They are energetic, social, and love having a job to do
Their eagerness to please, a trait inherited from the German Shepherd, makes them relatively easy to train, but their Husky side can bring a touch of stubbornness.
Since they are a designer dog breed, they are not recognized by major kennel clubs like the American Kennel Club (AKC).
