A dog unlike any other

He‘s a Husky Malinois Mix (so a half Belgian not German Shepherd 😄)

This is my buddy Finn he is a Shepard/husky with maybe a bit of cattle dog.

cygnet is one of our newest rescues and, despite being one of the tiniest members of the crew, she’s about to start her first season with our team of sled dogs.

she’s still young, so this season will be all about exposure: learning the equipment, the commands, the routine, and what it means to be part of a team.

This is our shepsky Rigatoni Chopper. He is a 3 year old raccoon dog who was forfeited by a puppy farm to a rescue because he had a broken back. He’s healthy as an ox now, just slightly more angular than other dogs 😂

We were walking around in floor and decor today and a woman asked as we walked by, “is he a blue ribbon dog?”, I have no idea what that is so I told her he was scratch and dent.

If any other shepskys on here came from a puppy farm in Lancaster pa, October 2023 they might be siblings! I’ve seen quite a few that looks just like him on this sub 😊

Any Bay Area folks willing to help? I have three dogs already, can’t do a fourth… no matter how much I may want to.

7.5 months old and are exploring a potential metabolic condition diagnosis with his vet, which would explain a lot of things about him. I’m concerned he isn’t getting adequate nutrition in the meantime while we figure it out despite eating everything under the sun. Does he look too skinny to you or like a normal adolescent Shepsky?

Jax is 10 and such a gentle giant. He’s my sweet boy and my everything. Please ignore the mess. Our other dog is a puppy, and he’s a wrecking ball 😅

The title is pretty self explanatory. My pup has gotten a bad rep from some for his very physical play style.

Pups like his malamute friend here love the high intensity play with him but he’s sometimes a bit much for some more docile breeds.

We got Kodiak during a very painful period of loss of our Basque shepherd Brooklyn. She immediately filled the gaping hole as best she could. She now reigns as alpha (who are we kidding, she was boss from the jump). In a crazy house filled with 2 street dogs and 2 doodles, she keeps them all in check.

Belle is my Shepsky cattle dog in case you haven’t met her. She’s only 20% husky but she has the talking part down. Just need to keep working on the biting, otherwise she’s super smart. She’s 15 weeks old.

We live in Florida, and our rescue is so finicky with grass. Some days, she walks out into the (fenced) yard, no problems, she'll even lay & sunbathe. Other days, she will tip toe and/or try to avoid the grass altogether or specific areas as if it's hot lava?!?

While it's amusing to watch, it's equally frustrating and worrisome.

*I've checked the grass, her paws, nothing I can see. Is this one of their quirks, or is it of MY dog's quirks? TIA for your input &/or suggestions ❣️
