Pomsky

History, origin & features

Created by artificial insemination in 2012 in the United States, the idea for the breed is said to have germinated a year earlier, or according to other sources in 2009, in the imaginations of dog lovers via the internet!

In March 2012, two friends, Tressa Peterson, kennel manager of Apex Pomskies, and Joline Phillips, kennel manager of Arctic Design Pomskies, joined forces to create a breed from a Pomeranian Loulou sire and a Siberian Husky dam. The result was the Pomsky breed, which enjoyed dazzling success in the United States. In just one year, the number of breeders rose from a handful to over thirty! Today, the breed is one of the “teddy bear” breeds whose charms are devastating. The Pomsky is a companion dog resulting from a cross between a Pomeranian Spaniel and a Husky. Despite its recent birth, it is already enjoying great popularity with dog owners. There are currently 3 sizes of Pomsky: the small, with a height at the withers of 20-30 cm and a weight of 2-6 kg; the medium, with a height at the withers of 30-40 cm and a weight of 6-11 kg; and the large, with a height at the withers of over 40 cm and a weight of 12-20 kg.

Coat: The Pomsky is a double-coated dog, with a full coat that doesn't obscure the breed's well-defined lines.
Color: Any color is acceptable.
Head: rounded at the top, the size of the Pomsky's head is proportional to its body.
Ears: small and triangular, carried high and pointing upwards. Thick and full.
Eyes: Pomsky eyes are almond-shaped, spaced out and set at a slight slant, giving them a lively, even mischievous look. Brown or blue, minnows or heterochromes are acceptable.
Body: Solid and dense, the Pomsky is a relatively heavy dog for its size, which is nevertheless harmonious.
Tail: The Pomsky's tail is bushy and carried below the topline. At rest, the tail can drag. In action, the tail is curved, even curled over the back.
