Pomsky Breed Information

The pomsky dog is a cross between the Siberian husky and the Pomeranian.

Pomskies are a very recent breed that’s gaining in popularity thanks primarily to their photogenic appearance and prevalence on social media. Because pomskies are technically a mixed-breed dog, there’s no breed standard for appearance or temperament, and it can be impossible to predict which parent breed pomsky puppies will take after the most. Ideally, pomskies resemble miniature wolves or small huskies, but some may look more like larger-than-normal Pomeranians in terms of shape and coloring. Even pomsky puppies born to the same litter may vary widely in appearance from one another, with some appearing more husky-like and others appearing more Pomeranian. There isn’t a great variation in size, with adult pomskies coming in on the smaller end of medium-sized dogs at 10 to 15 inches in height and weighing between 20 and 30 pounds. Pomskies are larger than a purebred Pomeranian, who weighs less than 10 pounds, but still small enough to fit on a lap, unlike a full-grown husky. Some pomskies are bred with purebred Pomeranians in order to produce smaller dogs, although the breed is still new enough that the majority of pomskies are a 50-50 mix of husky and Pomeranian.
