Height runs 19–24 inches at the shoulder, against 20–23.5 in for the Siberian Husky and 18–24 in for the Standard Poodle.

Size figures assume a Standard Poodle parent, the size closest to the Siberian Husky. A different poodle size moves the whole range.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very low to moderate

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

High

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Low to very high

The Siberian Husky rates low and the Poodle very high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Siberian Husky is usually described as loyal, mischievous, outgoing. The Poodle as active, proud, very smart. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
