Questions & Answers
A Pomsky is a relatively new designer crossbreed between two popular breeds of dogs: the Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian. It is characterized as having the physical traits of a Husky, including their usually thick and plush coat, but with the smaller size of a Pomeranian. Pomsky puppies tend to grow to be between 10 to 15 inches tall, and can weigh anywhere between 15 to 30 pounds. Generally speaking, Pomskies are very intelligent, friendly, alert, and loyal, especially to their owners.
Pomskies have a combination of Pomeranian and Siberian Husky heritage which means that they may or may not shed fur depending on which traits they take on from each of these breeds. Generally, they tend to be lower shedding dogs due to their coat density, but they may still shed quite a bit, so regular brushing is recommended to maintain their coat. Owners should keep in mind the fact that Pomskies are prone to issues like coat matting, skin problems and allergies, so it's important to stay on top of grooming and also have a vet check their coat and skin regularly.
Pomskies benefit the most from a high-quality dry kibble or wet canned food specifically designed for small or toy breeds. A good diet should include a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins and minerals. Look for food that includes premium-quality animal proteins as the primary source and uses whole grains such as brown rice, sorghum, or oatmeal with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid food with low-quality proteins and fillers such as corn, wheat and soy.
To ensure your new Pomsky is comfortable in their home, it is important to prepare ahead. Firstly, it's important to create a safe environment. Remove any items that could be dangerous to your pup, like chemicals, cleaning products, or sharp objects. You may need to baby-proof any furniture that could be broken or damaged. Secondly, provide a comfortable spot for your new Pomsky to sleep. This could be a puppy bed, a soft blanket, or anything else that gives your pup a familiar, comfortable place to relax.
Pomskies vary in size, depending on the family of Pomeranian and Siberian Husky used in their parentage. Generally, an adult Pomsky typically ranges from 8-15 pounds and 10-17 inches in height. Though Pomskies typically remain within these ranges, it's important to understand that all Pomskies have unique individual traits as they come from an undated hybrid breed. Size is also dependent on the amount of Husky in the puppy, as getting a 'teacup' Pomsky and looking for extra small traits are unrealistic.
Pomskies are a lively and energetic breed of dog, so they need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. On average, they require about 60 minutes of physical activity per day, divided into shorter sessions. They should be taken on two walks each day, plus additional time outdoors for play, with a combination of running, exploring, and fetch, to maintain an optimal level of fitness. Indoor activities like puzzle games or special obedience training can also be good for exercising their minds.
Yes, Pomskies are known to get along well with other pets in the home. As intelligent and friendly dogs, Pomskies typically respond positively to their surroundings and have no problem adapting to having another pet in the house. However, when introducing a new pet to be a part of your family, it is important to ensure that all animals are properly socialized and trained to be comfortable with each other. With proper obedience training and positive reinforcement, Pomskies can learn to get along with other pets and even form a strong bond with them.
Training a Pomsky is not something that can be classified as either easy or difficult. Like any pet, they require patience and consistency. An important factor to factor in is that Pomskies are highly intelligent and respond very well to positive reinforcement. They are easily trainable and will appreciate treats, praise and rewards when you successfully capture their attention. If you provide them with the right environment to learn, provide them with plenty of exercise and stay consistent with proper training techniques, then you will be able to successfully train your Pomsky in no time.
