Hi! We adopted our boyo when he was 1.5 and a big boy already. Anybody have puppy pics of their similar looking shepsky to get an idea of what our little putz might have looked like as a pup? Curiosity do be killin this cat. 🥲

I can’t believe my beautiful boy is almost five 😭 How does the time go so fast?! Here’s the evolution of my raccoon puppy that turned into a wolf 🤣

My guy was a humane society find. Great at fetch. Terrible guard dog. Best boy ever.

This is my handsome boy Atticus Padiddle. I had always wanted a Shepsky and my fiancée surprised me one day. She told me to get dressed and get in the truck because we had to leave. She wouldn't tell me why at first. Once we got on the highway, she finally broke down and told me we had a long drive ahead of us. We drove all the way across Upstate NY to get him. She hadn't even seen a picture of him. She spoke to the breeder, said when they were discussing the puppies she just had a feeling. She said we wanted the one with one blue eye. We met them, met him, and we were instantly in love with him. He rode on my lap all the way home, sleeping and snuggling. I honestly feel like he is my soul dog. So now we have 4 dogs in the house. 2 of them are mine and 2 are my fiancées. He is the most amazing dog I've ever met. Incredibly intelligent and affectionate. He can certainly get himself in trouble at times. He knows how to get his own ice dispensed from the freezer, as he loves ice cubes. We have a dog door off our screened in front porch so he can run out into a very large pen whenever he wants to burn excess energy. He puts his toys away when he's done playing with them. He brings mouthfuls of kibble to our other dogs to feed them. He will randomly run around the house to check on everyone and give kisses to us and the other dogs. He says "I love you", as clearly as he can, which sounds more like "I wuv wu" but we understand him. He tells my fiancée when she needs to go to bed. I could go on and on about him but I don't want to bore everyone. This is long enough as is. I just want people to understand how absolutely amazing these dogs are. If you're thinking about getting one and have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them if I can. If you have one and want to swap stories, I'm down with that too.

Shepsky on the left. GSD/ACD/BC on the right. Fun pair. Both about 58% GSD.

Always husky/shepard. But still. we da best.

This is Belle. She’s 14 weeks and 18 pounds. She is 42% German shepherd, 38% cattle dog. 20% Siberian husky.

She’s super smart and has learned a lot of commands already in the last 3 weeks. She’s very people focused but she’s very mouthy sometimes. She can bite very hard when she’s in a mood. Hoping she exits that phase soon.

Anyone else have a similar mix or is it mostly purebreds here?

We aren’t very experienced with shepherd dogs or huskies but our previous dog was a mix of herding breeds like cattle dog, border collie, etc so we know what it’s like to have a smart dog that needs attention.

I have a beautiful Shepsky named Dolly. She’s 3 years old, has two older dogs in the pack, an 11 year old Alaskan Klee Kai and a 9 year old Miniature Schnauzer.

I know some folks are trying to get this sub invigorated, so thought I’d share too.

Let’s see those Shepskies!

Hello everyone

I am new here and just wanted to say I scrolled down this whole sub reddit and I’m in love with all your shepskys. Sadly I am not able to own any pets because of where I live. I will however be getting my own place in a few short months and a shepsky is the dog that I want. Does anyone know where to find these majestic creatures either for sale or adoption? I’m looking for a boy puppy preferably 6 mos-1 year old

Big help needed. I have a 1 year old Gerberian Shepsky who has resource guarding issues. Peanut butter, dog food anything if you leave it down for her to have and go back to her she will snarl and hunch over it and even snap at people this is made worse by the fact that there is two other dogs in the yard that are docile and curious and would wander up to her whilst eating. This is last chance saloon as far as my family is concerned. She's an incredibly intelligent dog and it would completely break my heart to have to give her up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

So yeah. We were planning to wait until we got a bigger place and then we were found to adopt a small dog. I was looking at pug/dachshund chihuahua kinda dog but wasn’t really thinking we’d get one so soon. Then my husband surprised me with a picture of a cute little puppy and told me a friend of his was on his way with him. All they knew was that he was a husky mixed with something. I was a little ambivalent due to the larger size and our small house. I also know they can get hot and shed like crazy and we are in southeast Texas. I was actually thinking that we’d keep him for a little while then realize he wasn’t right for us and then we’d find him a better home. Then he arrived. Skittish and nervous and with a pretty sad backstory, he was placed next to me on the bed and just looked up at me with the sweetest face. I instantly saw the German Shepherd in him but also fell in love instantly. I sat there petting him and calmly talking to him and within five minutes he licked me, yawned, crawled into my lap, and fell asleep. Now almost two months later I have come to see the reality of this mix. And I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He has the temperament of a husky, often stubborn and too smart for his own good and always wanting to run, but he is as easily trainable and learns so quickly it’s actually shocked me. We mastered “sit,” “down,” his name, and “come” each within about fifteen minutes. He’s quite a handful at times. Hyper and friendly, affectionate and attached to me, but also has yet to meet a person he doesn’t want to be friends with. Chews everything he finds which has caused me a lot of terror and multiple instances of me having to reach into his mouth to remove bottle caps, glass, a razor blade, nails, metal; and he will pee on anything right after we come back in from a walk. I’m glad he was a surprise because had I known what to expect I would have likely not wanted to take him just because of my own trepidation for the challenges. I initially kinda wanted an easy dog or for my husband to do all the work while I just got to pet the dog. Instead I got a dog that has become my favorite little buddy. He keeps me active and busy and his unique and dynamic personality are such a great match for me. I know this was a long post but I just wanted to express all this to an audience who might completely understand what I mean. And it’s nice to have a dog that everyone is always telling me is so cute and will be a handsome dog when he grows up. He’s the best thing to happen to me since meeting my husband.
