Siberian Husky and Yorkiepoo? Can they get along?

I currently have a Yorkiepoo (Yorkshire and Poodle mix) but have a chance to receive a Siberian Husky, a dog which I have always wanted.

I read that Siberian huskies can generally get along with medium and large dogs, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a Siberian Husky and a Yorkie(poo). My dog is about the size of a cat.

I'm leaning towards no, even if the Husky is a female, but want to make sure before I turn down the offer.
 
I love northern breeds but their hair is no joke come shedding season!
Does your yorkiepoo get along with other dogs that are larger?

Are you getting a puppy or adult? If adult I'd be more inclined to believe you will have problems.
 
Never use the word yorkiepoo again

and yes they can get a long fine. The better question is can you get along with a husky?

To be honest, I'm not sure if he does or not. My dad brought his Lab/German Shepard mix one time but my dog kept more to himself, mostly because the Lab was overly hyper.

The Husky would be a puppy.

I also have a cat...I don't know if that will make a major difference or not.
 
Puppies are always a best bet starting out.

Have you researched this breed in general? They like cooler temps, decent yards to play in (expect lots of digging!) and generally get bored if ignored/left alone and can get destructive.

Hmmm yeah I just read about that. Looks like I'll have to turn down the offer. The 100+ degree heat during the summer, combined with my absence during the semester, will make a bad combination.

Thank you for all your feedback, Rubycon!
 
My parents have had two Huskies and while they are pretty good dogs they can have a wild streak if not properly trained. They love to run so a big yard is pretty much a must.
