This is NOT a mutt/purebred debate. When I am referring to backyard breeding, I am referring to people who intentionally breed their dogs without doing any form of health testing. Purebred or not. If someone wants to breed mutts, but they've had both the parents health tested, that's truly fine by me. I had a dog that was "backyard bred." He was purebred. He died from a genetic health problem that could have been avoided had the "breeder" health tested the parents. If they had, they would have known that both parents carried a gene that could criple/kill their offspring. Backyard breeding is not mutts vrs purebred, it's ethical vrs unethical.

People really can't wrap their brains around an ethical mix breeder.

Throw some Shiba in there and you've basically engineered the biggest problem dog ever. Not because Shibas are bad (they're great dogs if you know how to handle them), but because Shibas have their own form of stubbornness (less "I want to do what I want to do" and more "I'll only do it if there's something in it for me, and you can't tell me otherwise") AND their own form of high intelligence (less command learning and more problem solving). You'd end up with a dog that will only ever do anything for you if you bribe it, and will inevitably get itself into trouble constantly.

He does what he's told, he's easy to train, he's athletic as all get out, he's a problem solver. I would recommend the mix to anyone who knows how to train a dog and doesn't want an inside dog to sit and watch TV with all day, although mine stays in the truck for 6 or 8 hours a day while I'm at work so he's alright with lazy time as long as he gets to run every 3 days or so.

As he gets closer he goes slower and slower because he doesn't actually want to bite. He only ever does it if I'm trimming his nails, and i feel a little bad for how adorable i find it

That is just a general behavior for most herding/livestock guardian dogs. Both my Pyrenees mix Eeyore, my German Shepherd Raymund, and my Brittany/blue heeler mix Kaleo would be a bit mouthy but rarely if ever nipped hard enough to hurt.

What a gorgeous combination! It's cute that even when he didn't want you messing with his paws, he didn't lead with biting.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Gorgeous dog. It was fun watching you groom him as he's such a character -- glad you're so experienced, though, as his behavior could've ended up with a less experienced groomer being injured. Also appreciated your comment about backyard breeders -- I'm sorry it seems to have caused enough trouble for you that you had to create a pinned comment addressing it. Cute snake! It's adorable that someone bought one of your bandanas for their reptile!

...am still in shock that there was no screaming in the tub...

i have this exact mix! Really challenging to own but a lot of fun, shes 8 years old now and has mellowed out. Honestly if someone did a really good and vetted sports cross of this or a husky heeler i get another. teaching them how to be calm and have rest days helps them out alot.

That's not actually true. Mixed breed dogs are just not tested for all the things purebreds are. Purebreds seem more sick because we know about their problems. But not knowing does not make mixed breeds healthier. If you do same tests to a mixed breed as to a purebred, it's very likely the puppy has similar broblems as both the parents breeds would. Like if you mix a boston terrier with a bernese mountain dog, do you think the puppies would be completely healthy without inheriting any problems? Also true breeders, who breed with the dogs health in priority, need all the testings to make sure the litter's parents create the most healthy puppies. With people who breed mixed breeds just for fun, they could very easily breed two dogs with the same problem and make the puppies have it even worse. Now if there was a breeder who tested their dogs and did all the things properly but with mixed breed dogs, to create healthy puppies? That would be great. Unfortunately that is rarely a thing. A few years back when I was looking for a dog (ended up with a mixed breed rescue) I found a website of a breeder who bred short-haired collies with two other breeds, to make puppies that were healthier than all three of those breeds and with the temperaments of them combined. I thought that was really cool, she talked a lot about all the genetic stuff and whatnot so she really seemed like she had fully researched to know what she was doing. She might have also bred purebred dogs in the past so a certified breeder. It bothers me that I don't remember her kennel name. Also my bad for not knowing the proper terms for things, English is not my first language.

That look when you put him in the belly band at 1:54 is hilarious. 😂

My husky/ staffie mix only verbally expresses his emotions when he REALLY wants something (like to go outside), is overly excited (when we get home), very upset (being crated or when he was high coming home from being neutered) or is very engrossed with a toy that squeaks. The last two are the only scenarios I've ever heard the awooooos, not from a lack of trying

I’m picturing life with a border collie/husky mix and I feel exhausted. They’re both such high energy dogs. Plus, I’ve known border collies who were smarter than some people, and mixing in the drama queens of the dog world to that… O.o

😢Our borador grieved the death of her little chi mix so we got her a toy that looked like her friend & called it by the name of our lost dog. She slobbers it but doesn’t chew it like all her other toys. Her santa riding a dinosaur is barely hanging on with limbs missing, other toys have many holes, all their squeakers bitten out & most toys must be tossed within a month. She knows this one represents her missing friend, amazing how a dog can grasp the concept.

What a gorgeous boy.

I had a Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix for many years. She was super smart and it took a long time for us to train her to NOT herd us around by nipping at our heels. She lived to be 14 years old. Miss you Maggie.

Mine would probably do the same thing. I named mine Kodama (after Japanese forest spirits. Cause he has that pattern on his body) Pancake sounds adorable!

The owners did a really good job socializing and training that dog. He seems very tuned into people and calm enough to suggest that he gets enough exercise and discipline. The farmers we buy meat from have an Australian shepherd mix with a similar personality.

His behavior reminded me a lot of my border collie. In my experience, they can be stubborn and resistant to what they don’t like. But they will be communicative and tolerant while making their point clear. I feel like huskies would usually add more melodrama. They often blast their feelings through a megaphone like an Italian soap opera.

Everyone and their dogs tried to steal him and eventually my brother and his wife did. Then he really got spoiled. Thanks for the video it brough back a lot of found memories!

People see what they want to see in dog "breeds" The reality is behaviours are not correlated with "breeds". Most breeds are less than 200 yo, started by the Victorians. If you ever actually go to Alaska and look at a sled team, they look nothing like what people envision as a "huskie". Behaviors are by family, not "breed". The dog has been around for 20,000 years. Their behaviors aren't based on appearance anymore than humans are. There's plenty of genuine research on this.

Kai's multicolored toe-beans are the cutest thing on the planet tbh

When you said most stubborn, pit bull came to mind. Mine was dumb as a rock and never gave up trying to outsmart me-constant source of hilarity. Yours is an exemplary animal and a good argument for making that mix a new breed.

One of the most beautiful mixes I've ever seen. I LOVE border collies and Huskies are...pretty :D

When I was a pre-teen, I had a pure breed border collie. He was the best dog ever. So smart, learned fast, energetic but laid back too. I had so much fun with him. With husky in him, I expected a song but the tap dance made me fall in love with him. If I was still a teenager, I'd get another border collie in a heart beat.

She'll harass you with her frisbees, but she will also tolerate everything and already knows most basic commands. Meanwhile my German shepherd hound mix just whines at you until she gets pizza or her walk in and only listens when she benefits.

I'm floored that this dog handled his grooming as well as he did having Husky in him. Some play bites and tap dancing but no screeching or barking at all :0

I have a Husky/ rough collie mix. She's gorgeous, an escape artist, hates anything to do with grooming, and possibly part cat. 10/10 would adopt again (even with all the fur).

I had a Husky and Collie mix. He rarely barked, because he chose to talk (Yes, real words. Plenty of Huskies talk). He was also a fantastic escape artist and loved to do things to make my mother laugh. He was the smartest dog I have ever encountered, and he was a stray! It was definitely a blessing to have him in my life.

Definately not the smartest idea to cross breed these two but the results..chefs kiss😍🔥 That snake is sooo stinkin cute too with her bandana🐍 What a great way to start the day

Our husky cross "tap dances" too, when she is excited. Her "I want something" is to leap about two feet straight up, like levitating. We call her the binary dog, she is either ON, 100%, or OFF, out cold.

We are all obsessed with the patch on his eye ❤️

We had a border collie/ Australian shepherd and she was such a smart dog. She was a handfulfor her first year, like having a toddler but at one she clued into her training and was such a sweet soul. We lost her to cancer at the age of 7. We are still heartbroken.

I had a Border Collie/English Springer Spaniel/Shetland Sheepdog mix who talked. 75% of the reason we were allowed to adopt her was that I understood that she was talking and not growling. The rescue organisation had her at several meet and greets, and everyone thought she was growling.
