Dobskies have developed traits from both parents and loyalty is the first of them. Expect your Dobsky to be loving, protective,  loyal, and energetic. They are wonderful companions and have playful nature. However,  their social skills depend upon with whom they are attached to and how they are trained?. Usually, Dobskies stay fine near their owners or family members and can get aggressive with strangers.

Dobsky traits

Let’s have a closer look at what to expect in dobsky?  In terms of everything

Size of Doberman husky mix

Both Siberian husky and Doberman are tall dogs. Huskies are normally 21-24 inches and Doberman are 24-28 inches tall. Dobsky is going to be a mix of them. A normal adult Doberman husky mix will be 22-26 inches in height.

Weight of dobsky

An adult Doberman weighs between 40-45 kgs whereas huskies are 20-27 kgs. You can expect their hybrid to be 20-42 kgs.  This is quite variant. A 20 kg dog and a 42 kg dog are so different in size. No doubt a Dobsky is a true surprise treat.

Doberman Husky mix Coat type

A Doberman has a single shiny short coat whereas Huskies have a thick dense double coat. Their hybrid, dobsky will have a straight and thick coat.  The coat will shed moderately 360 days a year with two heavy shedding seasons per year.

Coat colors

A dobsky will inherit its parent’s coat colors. The colors could be black,  grey,  white,  rust, etc. A dobsky puppy can inherit its parent’s markings too.

Appearance

Having two handsome parents, what does a Doberman Husky mix will look like?

Keep in mind the classy powerful gait of the husky and the strong persona of a Doberman. The Dobsky will have an elongated head and a strong body. He can resemble any parent but expect a Dobsky to have that sarcastic husky smile on his face. Doberman has floppy ears pointing downwards whereas huskies have upward pointing and short ears. Expect a dobsky to inherit any of them.

Doberman Husky mix Temperament

Dobskies are very friendly to their owners. They get so attached that separation can cause anxiety and depression in them. Dobskies are playful and love being around their owners. As they are hardworking,  alert, and focused like their parents. So they are intelligent dogs.

Dobskies have parents who have mind-blowing stamina when it comes to work or energy levels. Your dobsky puppy will also be an energy bomb and if you can’t catch up to their levels,  think twice before adopting one.

Training

As dobsky is a protective dog, so definitely inclined to get upset and aggressive around strangers. They are possessive about their owners, so they won’t allow anyone else to come near. These dogs need to be trained at an early age so that they learn the difference between a “stranger” and an “enemy”. Not every stranger is an enemy. This way dogs will stay calm near other dogs and people.

Also,  teach your dobsky to be an obedient pup. Otherwise, his protective nature can make him arrogant and stubborn too. Reward him when he follows your order. He must know that only you are the boss around.

Dobsky gets attached to the owner in a very emotional way.  It is important to train him to stay separated for some time. Otherwise,  the dog will suffer depression and anxiety. At an early age,  teach the dog to stay at his own safe place. You can also crate train your dog to teach him the importance of having one’s own safe place. Our guide on crate training a golden retriever will surely help you.

Grooming

Well,  grooming a Dobsky depends on his coat type. If he has inherited his parent’s husky coat,  expect more grooming. Brush 3-4 times a week. If he has inherited Doberman’s coat, brushing 2-3 times is enough. Also, Dobsky sheds more so expect hair strands everywhere.

This hybrid is usually clean and you don’t need to bathe them often. Just shove away the dirt and they will be fine. You can also bathe them every 3-4 months.

If dobsky has inherited floppy ears,  cleanse them well to avoid bacterial infection.

Exercise needs

Dobsky is a very energetic dog. He needs to play,  jump,  explore and rule the world with his massive energy. We advise dobsky to people who can afford this much stamina. A dobsky needs daily 1 hour to 2 hours of training and exercise. If dobsky is not given a proper chance to take out his energy,  he will end up destroying things and becoming a little monster!

Health:

Overall,  Dobsky is a fine and healthy dog but as every dog can get or inherit diseases,  so can dobsky. Dobsky may inherit diseases from his parents which could be

• Hip dysplasia

Which is common among heavier dogs. The hip bone can dislocate due to joints malformation in a way that can cause pain and even paralysis in dogs. An abnormal gait is the first sign to hip dysplasia.

• Eye diseases

Both husky and Doberman are prone to eye diseases like cherry eye,  redness,  cataracts,  atrophy, etc. So pay attention to any redness in the eye or if a dog is having an eye discharge.

• Autoimmune diseases

Dobsky can also suffer from different autoimmune and blood diseases too.

Regularly take your dog to the vet for a checkup and if you notice any weird symptoms, take professional help.

Nutrition
