The Gerberian Shepsky is a cross breed of two very intelligent breeds that are most popular for their possession of highly desirable qualities and other attractive characteristics, the German Shepherd and the Siberian Husky.

In actual reality, this breed of dogs shares both aspects of the species. While the personality traits evident in a Gerberian Shepsky come from both the German Shepherd and the Siberian Husky, there will always be one dominant breed’s traits in the resultant hybrid.

It is commonly referred to as a designer dog or hybrid dog due to the fact that it originates from two singular pure breeds. They are some of the best breeds known to man despite being cross bred. The Gerberian Shepsky is loyal, social, alert and also very intelligent. They get along well with almost everyone if appropriately socialized. It is hard not to fall in love with these beautiful creatures and especially when those pale piercing blue eyes are dotingly fixed on you.

Physical appearance

The Gerberian Shepsky is a large-sized type of dog with a height of 20 -25 inches. The weight standing is 45-88 lbs but is mostly dependent on the diet and overall wellbeing of the dog. The average lifespan of a Gerberian Shepsky is 13 years. This breed is therefore ideal for those looking for a short term emotional and physical commitment in a dog pet.

It is also possible for its lifespan to vary from the said years for these are just human estimations but it’s mostly a matter of the divine. Gerberian Shepskies come in a variety of colors, the most common being black and brown with black. Other color variations include blue, red, white, cream, brown and white, pepper and salt/gray and light brown or golden.

Gerberian Shepskies have a straight haired double coat that can be long, short, dense or medium. The coat is generally thick with a fluffy-like appearance. The inner coat generally contains thick and soft hair. Being arctic dogs, the double coat provides much needed protection from overly hot and cold weather conditions. Its ears are usually pointy and so is the muzzle. The skull at times resembles that of the German Shepherds or that of the Siberian Husky. Eyes can at times be dual-colored. The Gerberian Shepsky is not suited to live in hot places.
