Breed Information
Overview
The Huskita is a cross between an Akita and a Siberian Husky. Although a mixed-breed dog can take on any combination of characteristics from their parents, Huskitas tend to be large working dogs that are loyal to their families, protective of them, and affectionate with them. They are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, but the Huskita can be registered with the Dog Registry of America.
Temperament
Although they can be aloof with strangers, Huskitas are affectionate and playful with their families. They tend to get along well with older children who know how to properly interact with them and other dogs that are a part of the family. Although the Akita can provide a lower prey drive, the Huskita still tends to have a high prey drive. So, they will need some extra socialization and training if there are smaller pets in the household.
Because of their protective instinct, they are initially suspicious of strangers and can take some time to warm up to new people. They are also alert, which makes them great watchdogs as they will let you know when someone or something is around. Although they do not tend to bark a lot, unless you have trained them into it, they can be vocal dogs and often emit a range of vocalizations similar to their Husky parent.
