Huskita puppies for sale in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire

The Huskita, also known as the Akita Husky or Husky Akita Mix, is a striking crossbreed combining the Siberian Husky and Akita breeds. This designer dog originated primarily in North America but has gained popularity in the UK over recent decades. Typically large, the Huskita stands between 22-26 inches tall and weighs 30-55 kg, boasting a muscular build and a dense double coat that varies in colour from black, white, grey, to red or brindle. Its facial features blend the broad head of the Akita with the distinctive fox-like appearance of the Husky, often featuring striking blue or heterochromatic eyes.

Temperament in the Huskita varies greatly due to the mixed lineage, but owners can expect a loyal, protective companion with a strong-willed and independent nature. These dogs are energetic and require at least two hours of vigorous daily exercise, making them unsuitable for first-time owners. Their high prey drive and occasional dog aggression mean early socialisation is crucial. Huskitas thrive in active households with secure, spacious environments, ideally a home with a large, secure garden.
