The Labskys, as the name suggests, is a combination between the Labrador Retriever and the Siberian Husky. It’s an active, smart, and super loyal hybrid dog that is often referred to as the Huskador or the Husky Lab. The Labrador Retriever and the Siberian Husky were crossbred for the first time in the early 1990s and have since become very popular.
Besides the common Black Labrador you normally see, there are actually 13 different aesthetic options Labrador Retrievers can come in, in terms of coat type, colors, and patterns. These include rarer variations like the Dudley Labrador and Merle Labrador variations.

Now, why do Lab puppies bite? A Labrador puppy may bite as a way of seeking its owner’s attention, to show excitement or due to boredom. Similarly, a lab puppy may bite and chew due to a high prey drive present in the breed or in a bid to relieve pain in its mouth.
Yes, Labradors shed quite heavily. Labrador Retrievers shed a lot because like other working breeds, they have a double coat to keep them insulated from the elements. Shedding will happen to both the inner and outer coats of the Labrador. The inner coat typically sheds completely twice a year while the outer coat sheds seasonally. During molting, when the inner coat is being shed, is when the hair fall is at its peak.
