GSD x Husky (or Malumute)

CC - that would be great as I can't see me getting a response from Pedilia. I am going to see a bitch puppy tomorrow who needs a home - husband brought dog and wife is scared of GSD's and they have 5 kids and poor dog is being wound up.

This is Asty

She needs to get out of where she is so she will come home no matter what as she can't stay where she is poor little thing. If I am honest I loved the look of the sable dog as I am more of a dog person rather than bitches. But I will love whichever comes to squat.

I am sad not to have had a response from the post on here though.
 
Like I say, Pedilia wouldn't be too regular a poster on this board so I wouldn't be too hard on her! Best of luck tomorrow, looks like a wee gem, and may have some working lines in there so you can have a lot of fun with her!
 
LOL at CCs reaction to Polar GSD, it was mine too until I read further. That little sable looks lovely Cluedo, hope things work out with her. If by any chance they don't, I do home checks etc for GSD rescue so could see what is available local to you.
 
Just reading this back and I sound like a bit of a hater, I'm not, if the GSD half of the parentage is health tested (like the much missed SevernMiles does with her breeding stock, hips, eyes, elbows) then I would have much less of a problem with these crossbreeds, temperament differences aside.

I'm all about the GSD breed as a whole, the bigger picture, not just what is at the end of my nose and IMO if you knowingly breed from a GSD without adequate health test results, then you are damaging not only that breed, but whatever breed you cross them with.
 
I hate these kind of crosses, i have a siberian husky and have known most of the variations of x's and hybrids. Husky are like hounds, they can be good pets , but in general it is not a good idea for lots of reasons. I personly wouldnt want the remotest chance of breeding a dog that has the hunt instinct of a husky and the agression of the gsd ( they are guard dogs , how ever nice, they are designed to be agressive and guard) And i dislike even more the inuit's , they are not a breed IMHO they are a mish match with no breed standard or type , unlike the wolf hybrids ( another really bad idea)that have one or two pups and thus are easier to find homes for, the inuit, which is basicly a GSD x husky of some sort with maybe a bit more wolf thrown in, has larger litters thus harder to find suitable homes for. i have seen so many of these dogs in unsutiable homes, and they are so often agressive.
 
I have Salem, an Inuit x Utonagan.

He is obedient, has excellent recall, loves people and other dogs.

My husband is dog phobic and has been since a child. He didn't want my RSPCA gsd x.

Years later and he REALLY didn't want a wolf type puppy. But he loved me enough to give in.

Salem and hubby ADORE each other. He is the best companion (worst guard dog - forgets to bark!) and makes us laugh every day.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but my dog rocks!
 
Oberon - he certianly does!!, My husky is the most un-husky husky you will meet. she recalls, is resonably obediant , and would take or leave exercize.
there are exceptions and as with most things the traits are there its how you bring them up!
 
"they are designed to be agressive"

While there are of course aggressive GSDs, this is rot, sorry.
Aggressive GSDs do not do well in the home, in service or in sport.
Police and service work is about courage, control and obedience. Not aggression.
They are a UTILITY dog, not solely a guard dog and yes, they still do herd, mainly on the continent.

STobin, lovely dog :)

Just spoken a friend of mine and she is going to be rehoming her Tamaskan, sad but made me think if this thread.

I think she wanted me to have him but I can't have another dog, not with a crazy dominant collie, a crazy submissive collie, a silly GSD and a Boxer pup on the way to join the mad house.

I'd never really thought about the cross before but I can see why its not a good cross as even though ALL the GSDs i've known have been excellent in temperament they have all been abit neurotic and add that to Husky dominance/boldness/aggression.. not good :/

Agression of a siberian? Not a known trait

I'm going to have a CC-style splutter at this one, huskies are not inclined to be aggressive and are naturally very gregarious.

Taken from the breed standard: "Friendly and gentle, alert and outgoing. Does not display traits of the guard dog, not suspicious with strangers or aggressive with dogs."

I have often heard it said that they'd let the burglars in and show them to the family silver. :p

ETA: *highfives Cyrus*
 
My Inuit has the loyalty and obediance of the GSD.
The gregarious and generous nature of the husky.
The mischief, family bond and size of the malamute.

A bad mix?

I don't think so:)

Definitely a good mix in your case, but you have got the best traits of each breed, don't forget you are just as likely to get the worst traits of the respective breeds of these crosses.:eek:

sounds just like Chimo, except she is slightly less obedient and would go off with anyone... she is not fussy!

I have seen several of these crosses for sale. This seems a very odd cross to me.... so why? Anyone had anything to do with them. To me I couldn't think of a worse cross.
