Physical characteristics of pomsky
Physical characteristics of pomsky:
As a result of this hybridization between husky and pomeranian a Nordic dog with characteristics of both parents is born. His appearance is mini husky, but more chubby and paticorto:
How much does a pomsky weigh?
As we pointed out, we can not specify it for all cases, since there is still no race standard and there will be heavier pomskys and other more petty ones. However, to give you an idea, a medium pomsky dog can weigh between 7 and 14 kilos.
Character of the pomsky dog
And what kind of character will these little ones have? Will they want to run and run like a husky or will they prefer the lap of their owners like a pomeranian? The pomsky dog is playful, ACTIVE and energetic, pizpireta, friendly and loves to have fun!
A pomsky will not need as much exercise as a pure husky, that's for sure. Although its good daily walks (not worth 5 minutes!) To burn energy and do not destroy at home. The character of the pomsky, like everything else, is also halfway between the personality of his two parents. That is to say, he does not become as independent and super athletic as a husky but neither is he as territorial or attached to his owner as a Pomeranian would be.
However being a dog that has been around for a short time, we still do not know it well and the character may depend a little on each puppy in particular, if he has inherited more husky or more pomeranian traits. But for any pomsky dog to remain the little ball of sympathetic and loving hair that we all have in mind, it is necessary as always a good socialization, a little rules and discipline and of course treat them with a lot of love.
Are pomskys good for children?
As it depends, in general the pomskys do get along well with children, especially dogs that are 50% husky and 50% pomernia.
But there are also pomsky puppies that are 25% husky and 75% pomeranian, and if one of this type comes out very similar to his pomeranian father, he might not get along very well with the children (this is a trait inherited from Pomerania). Some specimens of small breeds like chihuahua dogs or pomeranias sometimes happens to them, they do not like children very much, because in reality they are afraid of them. See more ...
As a result of this hybridization between husky and pomeranian a Nordic dog with characteristics of both parents is born. His appearance is mini husky, but more chubby and paticorto:
- The pomsky dog has semi-long and dense hair, typical of Nordic breeds. Normally your hair never gets to be as long as that of the pomeranian, but you still have to brush it very often to avoid that your house is full of hairs since the pomskys do tend to loose hair.
- The "ideal" pomskys have a medium or small size, but the size depends a little on the specimen, because it is still not uniform. We found some very pomeranian pomsky puppies (these are the most sought after and expensive) and then there are other pomsky puppies that can be medium-sized, or even some bigger puppies, similar to a husky in size. This happens because the breed is very new and all specimens and sizes have not yet been "homogenized". Being hybrid dogs, there is still some uncertainty about the size of babies when they are born.
- As for its appearance, pomsky dogs have the most rounded and "chubby" forms that a husky, are the typical forms of pomerania. Even his walk and his way of moving are similar to those of his father Pomeranian.
- The face of a pomsky dog has a snout that is much shorter than a husky and the little eyes closer together, like the pomeranian. This gives them a more childlike or more "baby" look than the huskys.
- But Pomsky puppies have also inherited the wide range of colors of the husky, and also one of the most beautiful features of the husky, his blue eyes.
