siberpoos

The Siberpoo is a cross between the allergy-friendly and intelligent Poodle with the outgoing and mischievous Siberian Husky. The Siberpoo is also known by a few other names including, the Poosky, Huskydoodle, or Huskypoo. While the Standard Poodle is used in most pairings, the miniature or toy varieties can be used to breed smaller Siberpoos. This designer is considered friendly, energetic, and loyal. They typically get along with children and other pets, making them a great option for most families.

The Siberpoo is a cross between a Siberian Husky and a Poodle.  They are a medium-sized breed that weighs 45 – 60 pounds and has an average lifespan of 10 – 13 years.  Siberpoos are generally healthy but have some specific health conditions that can be inherited from the parent breeds.  With proper care and yearly vet exams, the majority of Siberpoos will live long and healthy lives.

Siberpoo often inherits a combination coat making them easily adaptable in both warm and colder climates. They will require regular brushing to reduce any possible shedding. Light trimming and bathing when needed will keep the coat sanitary, along with routine nail trimming. Professional grooming will be necessary should a dog inherit the Poodle. A Siberpoo's teeth should also be brushed about 2-3 times a week for optimum dental health.
