The Gerberian Shepsky is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the German Shepherd and the Siberian Husky.
The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed.
Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% a 50% cross. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. For this registry we will be limiting the percentage of each parent breeds blood to no less than 25% & no more than 75%.

These dogs are high energy and active dogs and like to learn or have a purpose all the time. They are very good family pets with proper socialization with children and other pets in the family.

German Shephered Tempermnt:
Often used as working dogs, German Shepherds are courageous, keen, alert and fearless. Cheerful, obedient and eager to learn. Tranquil, confident, serious and clever. GSDs are extremely faithful, and brave. They will not think twice about giving their lives for their human pack. They have a high learning ability. German Shepherds love to be close to their families, but can be wary of strangers.
Siberian Husky Temperment:
Siberian Huskies are loving, gentle, playful, happy-go-lucky dogs who are fond of their families. Keen, docile, social, relaxed and rather casual. This is a high energy dog, especially when young. Good with children and friendly with strangers, they are not watchdogs, for they bark little and love everyone. Huskies are very intelligent and trainable, but they will only obey a command if they see the human is stronger minded than themselves. If the handler does not display leadership, they will not see the point in obeying.
CARE
The Gerberian Shepsky dogs require regular brushing of their coat as they are moderate shedders.
TRAINING
With high intelligence, these dogs are very trainable but due to their independent behaviour, they would require gentle, rewarding and purposefull training sessions and a patient owner.
ACTIVITY
They are very active and would need space to run. Daily leash walk is also necessary for these dogs.
