Facts & Origin
The origin and history of the Old German Shepherd-Siberian Husky mix.
From the history of dog breeds, it is known that the Old German Shepherd-Siberian Husky mix comes from two impressive lines. The Old German Shepherd, closely related to the modern German Shepherd, has its roots in Germany and was traditionally used as a herding and working dog. The Siberian Husky, originally from the cold regions of Siberia, was bred by the Chukchi as a sled dog. This mix combines the working abilities and endurance of both breeds.
