The Labrador Husky is a great family dog for people who love doing physical activities with their pup. These dogs have loads of energy and will need vigorous exercise daily to feel their best. On top of their high energy levels, the “Labsky” is also highly intelligent and will love mental stimulation. Interactive toys and games will excite them as they love to think and learn. Given their eager attitude toward learning, the Labsky does well at training and is very quick to pick up new commands. There is little that these pups canât do with enough practice!
This dog breed is a mix between the Labrador Retriever and the Siberian Husky. Both parent breeds are wildly popular, and it is no surprise that this mixed breed has become a popular choice for many dog owners as well. The history of this dog is quite recent and began sometime in the 1990s. The Labsky is also commonly referred to as the âHuskadorâ, and they usually weigh between 40-60 pounds.
The Labsky is more on the high-maintenance side, as their double coat requires daily brushing and results in them shedding a lot. If you are looking for a dog that will not track fur all over your house, the Labsky probably isnât right for you. For many, the shedding is easy to overlook, given all of this dogâs great attributes. They love people and are friendly with just about everyone they meet. These social bugs play well with other dogs, so the dog park is a great idea if you are looking to socialize your Labsky and let them burn off all of their energy at the same time!
Labskies have a high prey drive, so you may notice them trying to chase after anything that moves when outdoors. Given their high prey drive, it is not usually recommended to keep other small pets in the house. This mixed breed is extremely loyal and will build tight relationships with all of its family members. They will be thrilled to be around their people as much as possible, and will especially love going for long hikes outdoors where they can explore freely. If you are the type of person that can keep up with their fast pace, then this mixed breed will make an exceptional companion!
