INTRODUCTION

The Pomsky is a cute, silly dog suitable for flat life, who likes to be the centre of attention, and with their adorable looks and playful antics, they often get the adoration they crave.Their unfortunate start as a designer breed mixed between Siberian Husky and Pomeranian parents has not stopped them from gaining popularity with dog lovers. Unfortunately, those who rush to buy Pomsky puppies from breeders are often overwhelmed and unprepared for their needs, and because of this, these mixed breed dogs sometimes end up in the care of shelters or rescues. Always think about adoption first. Many groups can help you find Pomskies looking for a forever home if this is the mixed breed for you.

HIGHLIGHTS

Pomskies are very adaptable, do not need a lot of space and have only moderate exercise needs, making them good flat dogs. Pomskies are noisy dogs that tend to be very happy if not trained properly. Socialisation with other dogs and people is important, especially at an early age.

HISTORY

The history of the Pomsky dog breed is not very long, mainly because the breed was recently designed and created by artificial insemination. Because the breed is so new, most of the standards of what it should look like or what traits it should have have have not yet been established. It will take several more years and generations of dogs before the breed is recognised and standards are formed. The Pomsky Club of America is one group that is working towards official recognition of the breed, although dogs will have to be bred for specific and consistent traits before this can happen. At this time, Pomskies can vary greatly in appearance and temperament, even within the same litter, so breed standards are not likely to be forthcoming any time soon. If you are interested in getting a Pomsky, there is no reason why you should have to rely on a designer dog breeder. Keep an eye on shelters near you, and you can check out Pomeranian and Siberian Husky rescue groups, as they sometimes try to find homes for mixes of those breeds. You can also check our database of adoptable dogs to find a breed you like. Even if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, there are plenty of other dogs to fall in love with.
