Labrador Husky

Dog Breed Profile

Labrador Husky History

The Labrador Husky is a hybrid, or designer, cross between the Labrador Retriever and Siberian Husky. The Labradoodle and Goldendoodle are also hybrids that were created by breeding a Labrador Retriever with a poodle. The Labradoodles, Goldendoodles and Labradoodles are NOT purebred dogs and are the result of deliberate breeding programs. It is still unclear why such cross-breeds are created. Some breeders claim that they are created to reduce health issues in the parent breeds, but the genetic backgrounds of these hybrids are highly variable, making it difficult to determine if this is true. There is also no evidence that they are “ hypoallergenic” as claimed by some.
