A more recent small Designer Breed that you may know of today, is the gorgeous Pomsky. This breed was created by crossing the Pomeranian with the Husky breed. This breed was created around 2009 and has since grown immensely in popularity. This breed generally has the striking looks of a Siberian Husky with the size closer to a Pomeranian, making them a much more ideal breed for apartment living and families who want to include them in all activities.
Breed Appearance
The Pomsky is absolutely beautiful with its coat primarily resembling the Siberian Husky but in the size closer to a Pomeranian. This breed generally measures 10 to 15 inches in height for both males and females and weighs and average of 20-30 pounds. Please nore that males and females may be smaller or larger than breed standard and still be a Pomsky. This breed has a thick, double coat of straight hair that sheds daily as well as heavily twice a year. Their coat is available in combinations of brown, red, gray, blue and white. Their two round eyes are often ice blue in color but can also be shades of brown. This breed has two smaller, triangular shaped ears that stand firm at the the top of their head. Their tail should be long, fluffy and hang up and over their back, but never fully curled.
Breed Temperament
The Pomsky breed is very intelligent and active. This makes them best for owners or families who can remain consistent and firm with positive reinforcement training methods daily. This breed requires regular walks, playtime and mental stimulation in order to be the best they can be. When the Pomsky is not getting their needs met for mental and physical activity, it is common for their frustration to result in destructive behaviors or barking. This breed can learn very quickly and be attentive with the proper care. They can be great family dogs with children and other pets as well.

Special Notes

A properly fenced in yard or properly fitting leash and harness are required for this breed while outdoors at all times. Please fully educate yourself about the Pomeranian and Siberian Husky breeds prior to adding one to your home to ensure you are able to make a life long commitment both physically and financially for your new family member. All dogs originate from wolves (Canis Lupus). Each breed of dog was originally created by mixing different breeds together in an effort to bring forth certain characteristics. Once a breeder has created acceptable “breed characteristics” within their bloodline and these “breed characteristics” have shown to be reliably reproduced in the offspring for three (3) generations, the bloodline may be upgraded from the category of “foundation stock” to “pure-bred”. The same “pure-bred” breed standards vary from different continents, countries, territories, regions, breed clubs, and canine pure-breed registries depending on the goals of their breeders.
Dog DNA testing companies can have accurate results for a specific bloodline of a small colony of dogs. However, there are tens of thousands of different bloodlines in the world which have not yet been tested for marker baseline results by Dog DNA testing companies as of 2024. For this reason Dog DNA testing companies do not guarantee the 100% accuracy of their breed lineage results and will also show different marker results for the same pure-bred breed in different continents, countries, territories, regions, breed clubs, and canine pure-breed registries depending on the goals of their breeders.
