I need someone that's good with puppies/training.

I'm tempted to get a siberian husky/german shepard but I'm curious as to speak with someone that has actually raised one of the two from a pup.

I've heard mixed things like they're difficult to train and they're a dominant type of dog so assuming that's true - will that cause a problem with the 2 small dogs I have in the house?

huskies have lots of dominance issues, definitely. i wouldn't go for it if you already have other dogs.

german shepards are nice but known for hip/back leg issues. so there's some money for you.

They have a definite pack mentality if you establish yourself as the leader they will follow you.

ShepHERD.  Just remember:  they're herding dogs.

Siberians have dominance issues a lot.  They also tend to be quite stubborn.  However, German Shepherds are typically easy to train..extremely easy.  They usually obey and only have dominance issues with inexperienced people.

They are pretty much exact opposites so the outcome would be hard to tell.  I'd have to say checking out the litter would be the best option.  Don't go for the puppy that attacks everything that moves but also don't go for the one that doesn't even acknowledge your existance.

You just need to make sure, from the get go, that you establish yourself as the dominant person. Start training them young and it will make things easier for you as the dog ages. Huskies and German Shepherds are active dogs. They need to be stimulated with activity.
