For some dog enthusiasts based in the Bush Capital, a Chusky might be the perfect canine companion. If you're one of those enthusiasts who might be wondering where and how you can get your hands on a Chusky, here's some information that might help you.
Because Chuskies are growing in popularity, they are often subjected to illegal breeding practices in places such as puppy mills. You are helping the fight against illegal dog breeding and trading by conducting purchases through registered or reputable breeders.
Breeders with verifiable identities are your best bet while searching for a Chusky pup. This is why we only list reputable breeders registered with organisations such as or similar to Dogs ACT or the Australian National Kennel Council. As there are currently no registered Chusky breeders in Canberra and across Australia, we have listed some international options below. Remember that if you opt for these breeders, you must factor in shipping costs.

This breeder has over ten years of experience in combining the best of the Chow Chow and the Siberian Husky. Dogs are bred from show winners and are raised to get along with children and be excellent family pets. Get in touch with them if you're ready to give one of their puppies a loving home.
Katiebrooke breeds their dogs to have an excellent temperament and fit into a family environment well. All puppies come microchipped, vaccinated, DNA-tested, and extensively checked. They fly puppies to any destination and also have a waiting list, so be sure to contact them if you want to be added to it.
If the breeders listed above don't have any Chusky pups in their litter or don't have the shade you're looking for, you can always see if your nearest shelter has any dogs available for adoption. Alternatively, you can consult a breeder that specialises in Siberian Huskies. Kylasha is a small family kennel that breeds Siberian Husky puppies and may be a good option.
Chuskies aren't incredibly common in Canberra, but if you do manage to find one, you could pay anywhere between $600 and $1000 for the puppy.
Mixed or not, puppies should come with a pedigree, contract of sale, and records showing that they have been microchipped, vaccinated, and undergone the necessary health tests.
Scam artists often take advantage of the fact there aren't many Chusky breeders around the world. They do so by posting fake ads for pups that don't exist or are not the correct breed. If you do have to buy a puppy online, only do so through a verifiable source that can provide an extensive information folder for the dog.
Never rush the purchase of a pup; instead, take your time and consult resources from organisations such as the ANKC or Dogs ACT to confirm things such as breed standards or the identity of a breeder once dedicated Chusky breeders begin to surface in Canberra. You should never hand over any cash until you are absolutely sure you can trust the seller.
