Huskipoo Puppies

Huskipoos are smart, loyal, and energetic dogs that are fairly independent in nature. These dogs are highly active, so they require a lot of exercise and time outdoors. That said, they're not well-suited for apartment dwellers or those who don't have an active lifestyle. Aside from physical exercise, Huskipoos need a good deal of mental stimulation, too. They are the type of dog who loves having a job to do, whether big or small. If you don't put them to work, Huskipoos will often become bored and exhibit destructive behaviors. Training a Huskipoo isn't too challenging, but they typically do best with more experienced dog owners. With the right training, however, Huskipoos are fast learners and are very obedient. Overall, if you're an active individual looking for an exercise buddy and loyal companion, the Huskipoo fits the bill!

Sometimes called a Siberpoo or a Huskydoodle, the Huskipoo is a mix of the Siberian Husky and the Poodle. It is believed that the Huskipoo originated during the 1980s in the United States, along with many other designer Poodle mixes. Due to the hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle, they were crossbred with many other purebred dogs to create new, semi-hypoallergenic breeds, and the Huskipoo was one of these resulting breeds. Once breeding began, it didn't take long for Huskipoos to gain popularity. Today, the Huskipoo is recognized by the Dog Registry of America (DRA), the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), and the International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR).
