Pomsky temperament

Silly and Adorable: Pomskies have a silly side, and they love showing off and getting attention! And although they love to play, a Pomsky will not enjoy children under the age of 6.

Vocal: The Siberian Husky and Pomeranian are both known for being vocal, and your Pomsky will be too! Siberians often howl, chat, or whine, and Pomeranians can be yappy.

Moderate Exercise Needs: Siberian Huskies have a high need for activity, and the Pomeranian genes tone down the need for lots of exercise in a Pomsky. Since they are designer dogs, exercise needs will vary with different pups. However, they are generally considered good apartment dogs.

Intelligent: Pomskies are very intelligent and are capable of learning many commands. However, the Siberian Husky has a stubborn side, and your Pomsky may be challenging to train. Because of that, this breed is not recommended for first-time dog owners.

Lively: Pomsky puppies often have a lively and spirited personality that adds a touch of liveliness to their interactions with their owners and the world around them.

Playful and Curious: Pomsky puppies are often playful and curious, enjoying exploring their surroundings and engaging in interactive play.

Bond with one person: Although Pomskies get along well with everyone in the family, they tend to have a favorite person. They can also become protective and even be good guard dogs.

It’s important to remember that the traits of Pomsky puppies can vary widely based on genetics, socialization, and upbringing. When considering a Pomsky puppy, research the breed thoroughly, meet the puppy’s parents if possible, and be prepared to provide appropriate training, socialization, and care to ensure a well-adjusted and happy companion.

Pomsky Breed history

The first recorded Pomsky litter in the US was in 2012 by Teresa Peterson and Jolene Phillips.

According to PomskyCentral.com, Pomskies were a viral yet mythical internet sensation before they came into existence. The idea of an adorable, miniature Siberian Husky was born, and people wanted them!

Teresa and Jolene got to work. After lots of research, Teresa used artificial insemination for the first litter of Pomskies in the US. This Pomsky puppy video from Teresa made them even more popular.

Over the next few years, the popularity of the Pomsky increased rapidly. Breeders – experienced and inexperienced – began to sell Pomskies to meet the crazy demands.

In 2014, a Philadelphia resident named Dave Lascio started an Instagram account featuring his Pomsky. After being featured by Buzzfeed, his account gained 11,000 followers overnight. Everyone was asking, “Where can I get one?”

This time the Pomsky wasn’t just an urban legend: there were breeders with Pomskys.

Today, Pomskies can be registered with the Pomsky Club of America or the International Pomsky Association. The Pomsky Owners Association also works to promote and standardize the breed.

Pomsky Average size

Pomskies reach 10-15 inches at the shoulder, and the average weight is 7-38 pounds.

Average Pomsky lifespan

Pomskies have an average life span of 12-15 years.

Pomsky body features

 Pomskies come in a wide range of colors and patterns, including grey, white, brown or reddish-brown, blue merle, and white. 

As a crossbreed, Pomsky appearances vary widely depending on the parents. But there’s one thing all Pomskies have in common: a fluffy, thick, double coat!

grooming Your Pomsky Puppy

Pomskies have thick double coats, which protect them in cold temperatures. 

Their coat should be brushed daily with a pin brush and brushed weekly with a slicker brush to keep their gorgeous coat free from tangles and matts. 

Your Pomsky should have a full grooming, including a bath, brushing, ears, nails, and anal glands, every 4-6 weeks. 

Keeping Your Pomsky Puppy Healthy

Pomskies are susceptible to conditions of both the Pomeranian and the Husky.

While Pomeranians and Siberian Huskies are both generally healthy breeds, it’s important to be aware of conditions that your puppy may be genetically predisposed to.
Some conditions that may affect your Pomsky are:

• Allergies
• Luxating patellas (or dislocated knees) This is a common condition in small dogs.
• Eye problems
• Heart disease
• Epilepsy

Like all dog breeds, Pomskies are susceptible to hip and elbow dysplasia, two of the most common health issues among dogs. Hip and elbow dysplasia occurs when the leg or hip becomes weakened, and it can result in arthritis or lameness if not addressed.

One of the best ways to prevent this is by keeping your dog from excessive running on hard surfaces. This is especially vital when they are a puppy.

You can protect your dog from one of the most common health problems: obesity. One of the best ways to extend your dog’s life is by feeding them the correct amount of food and giving them adequate exercise.

Typical Pomsky Allergens

 First off, where do allergens actually come from? 

Allergens are caused by dander, which is dead skin cells. Both animals and humans shed these dead skin cells. Dander is attached to the hair that animals shed.

Pomskies have a gorgeous, fluffy double coat that protects them in cold weather. However, this also means they have a lot of hair (and a lot of shedding). For this reason, Pomskies are not an allergen-friendly breed. 

However, allergens can be lower if you brush and bathe your dog regularly. 

If you or someone in your home has allergy concerns, please consult your healthcare provider before adopting a puppy.
