Pomsky size is small to medium with an average height that can fall between 10 and 15 inches. Their weight can go from 7 pounds to 38 pounds on average. Their built falls in the range of their parent husky and pomeranian’s size

As the breed is relatively new, breed standards are not established for this little one. 

The lifespan of a Pomsky is about 12 to 15 years.

Contrary to the belief that all small dogs are well suited for apartment living, there are plenty of small dog breeds that have high energy levels. This can make a small breed dog not suitable for apartment living. But, the Pomsky breed is a tiny dog breed that can easily live in apartments and small living spaces. The only care that should be taken is that they get plenty of exercise and walks.

Pomsky is a playful and brilliant family dog. It has the qualities of an attention seeker and loves to be around family members.

Pomsky can have instincts of hunting, passed down from their parent husky. This trait can make them less pet-friendly. Care must be taken with smaller pets like cats, birds, hamsters as they may attack them. Still, this trait is subjective with each pomsky.

Having a chatty doggo can be problematic if you’re living in an apartment. Both parents - Pomeranian and Husky have high barking tendencies which make their offsprings highly vocal. Pomskies may also show a habit of barking excessively, if not trained from the first day.

Pomskies have a high tolerance to cold weather due to their thick coat, just like their wolfy parent. Having a thick coat makes them intolerant to warm and hot climates which can result in overheating. Make sure to keep pomskies cool during hot weather.

The Pomsky is a clever and intelligent breed. Thanks to their parents!

The combination of Pomeranian and Husky makes Pomsky a trainable breed; yet, the husky genes may manifest more making this little furball stubborn. But this trait can be overcome if the pomskies are trained from an early age.

Pomskies are power-packed with energy and need about an hour of daily exercise and walk to stay healthy. They may get bored and show excessive barking, howling, and chewing habits if not exercised properly.

Pomsky grooming can be a daunting task as this breed is prone to shedding excessively. They have a double coat that needs to be brushed daily to avoid mat and tangled hair. Nails can be cut every few weeks, but Pomskies require everyday teeth brushing as they are prone to dental problems.

They shed like crazy which is one of the reasons why Pomskies are not hypoallergenic. This means that they do carry allergens that will produce an allergic reaction in humans.

Pomsky price can range between $1000 and $5000
Being a designer dog breed, they are bred using artificial insemination which makes them one of the costliest breeds.

About

Aboutp-block-image">

Pomsky is a family-friendly, social, and tiny dog breed. They are loyal, intelligent, and smart. Their weight can fall between 7 and 38 pounds with a height that goes 10 to15 inches at withers, but they are small enough to cuddle up in your lap!

This dog breed is relatively new which is said to have originated somewhere around 2009 in the United States.  As Pomskies are mixed-breed dogs, there’s no established breed standard for appearance or temperament, and it can be impossible to predict which parent trait will be dominant in the puppies. 

For the most part, Pomskies look similar to miniature wolves or small huskies but some may resemble their other parent – Pomeranians. Even the puppies born to the same litter may vary widely from each other, with some resembling huskies and others like Pomeranian.

The Lifespan of a Pomsky is estimated to be about 12 to 15 years considering the lifespan of both of their parents – Husky with 12-15 years and Pomeranian with 12-16 years. 

The temperament of a Pomsky can also widely differ. Usually, they inherit desirable traits from both of their parents which include high intelligence, a loving and playful nature, and family-friendly traits.

Due to the size difference of the parent dogs, natural breeding is difficult and so Pomskies are always bred by Artificial insemination. To avoid complications, the surrogate mother is always Husky because of their large size as compared to Pomeranian. 

Artificial insemination is an expensive process, and so the breeders charge a lot of money for Pomskies. Another way is to adopt a dog! You can visit Petfinder or other genuine websites to adopt one for yourself.
