Pomsky Male - Ref ID: 19000

History

The Pomsky is the perfect mix between a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian. This breed’s origination had a very unique beginning. In March of 2012, breeders Tressa Peterson and Joline Phillips were credited with developing the Pomsky by way of artificial insemination. This was accomplished by using a Pomeranian and Siberian Husky. This highly lovable dog has since grown in popularity and is enjoyed by many families around the world.

Personality

When you have two amazing parent dogs, it is no surprise that their offspring is just amazing. The Pomsky is a very mild-tempered, non-aggressive, loving, and friendly dog who enjoys being around his family and other pets. They have a very approachable demeanor and tend to bond quickly with their family. They love children and truly do make a great family pet that adapts well to conventional style homes and apartments.

Appearance

Pomsky owners will need to make sure their dog’s coat is adequately cared for and maintained. This will take some work as they have thick double coats. Their coats are designed to insulate them in both hot and cold weather. The colors of their luxurious coats vary from grey and white, brown or reddish-brown, and solid white and blue. The Pomsky does shed, especially in the summer months, which makes daily brushing an important part of his care routine. One bath every three to four weeks will help keep his coat looking its best. By taking the time to keep up with his care will allow for one very handsome dog.

Care

For their first six to eight months, Pomskies should be fed every eight hours. This is a crucial stage in their life for physical growth and mental development. Assuring your dog receives proper nutrition from quality dog food will have a long-term positive impact on him. His feeding schedule should be cut back to two feedings per day around the age of nine months. Many Pomsky owners find that a morning and evening meal for their dog, about twelve hours apart, works best. Routine teeth brushing and nail clipping will also help to ensure he is feeling his best.
