        They also have some very long hairs on their tail, which you’ll find floating through the air on a warm summer day.

        They with have a double coat that consist of an undercoat which helps insulate dog breeds suited to cold climates.

      - Pomsky appearances
        
        Appearances
        
        When it comes appearances, you’ll notice that the Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian don’t look much alike. This becomes even more apparent when you see how diverse their puppies can look. This happens with all designer breeds, but more so with the Pomsky.
        
        This happens because they haven’t been around for a long time i.e., most Pomsky puppies are a result of artificial insemination between a purebred Siberian Husky and a purebred Pomeranian — and not the pairing of two Pomskies. That means that nearly 100% of Pomskies are first generation designer breeds.
        
        To narrow down all the variations that come from this, the Pomsky will need to go through multiple generations before it can be a unique breed and not a hybrid.This could take twenty or more years. Many breeds go through multiple changes before the become recognized by organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC).
        
        In most cases, they take on the Siberian Husky’s obsidian and ivory marbling coat which includes the mask. They also have large ears which makes them look like they belong in a mythical forest somewhere.
        
        The Husky can come in many coat variations, which means that there are several different colors and patterns that could be the end-result of a Pomsky breeding. You could have all black pups, agouti coloration, silver, or even white puppies. You may also have the Pomeranian red.

        The Serbian husky
        
        About the Serbian husky
        
        Athletic, intelligent, and a little suborn, the Siberian Husky is a medium-size breed that originated out of Asia. They have thick double coats (under and outer) and are known for their eye-catching sleek and sharp appearance.
        
        They are perhaps best known however for their icy blue eyes and use as a sled dog. Though today most sled dogs are not Siberian Huskies.
        
        Huskies can be one of the best dogs to get, and they can be one of the worst. These guys are super smart and full of energy, and this equals a dog that needs near constant stimulation, or they will get in trouble. They use their brains and brawns to find any place they can escape whether that’s jumping over the fence or digging underneath it.
        
        These dogs are also very talkative. You can find videos on the internet by the hundreds, from owners of Husky dogs that are talking and howling, singing along with their masters and a guitar, or even playing along with a piano.
        
        A Husky will have you laughing in hysterics for more than 50% of the time. This is guaranteed. They can be a real hard dog for someone who has never had a dog before, so be sure that you are up to the challenge and don’t be afraid to reach out to the breeder or a trainer for help from time to time.
        
        However, if you’re a high-energy person yourself, then the husky is a fantastic dog that will quickly take to training and will grace your house with loyalty and a goofy personality.
        
        If you love to hike or run, then a Husky will make a great companion for you. If you enjoy having conversations with a dog that will likely try to talk back to you, then you’ll also love this goofy breed.

        Training the Pomsky
        
        Pomskies are highly intelligent and respond well to reward based training methods.
        However, they can sometimes inherit the Pomeranian’s stubbornness and the willfulness of the Siberian Husky.
        That’s a tough combination for training and should therefore be handled with calm and assertive leadership. Failure to do so can result in “small dog syndrome” and other behavioral problems. For instance, Pomskies can be prone to resource guarding like the Pomeranians, and catching early signs of this behavioral issue will help you eliminate it before it becomes a serious issue.
        For most new dog owners, it’s important to start with the basics such as potty training and learning to walk on a leash. Depending on the breeder you’ve got your Pomsky from and the puppy’s age, they might already know a trick or two, but it’s also highly likely you’ll need to be the one who housetrains them. Training a puppy is not an easy task, but it’s important to teach your Pomsky fur baby manners while they’re still young. If they sniff out that you’re not an alpha, they’ll shamelessly exploit your weak side to their advantage. Any smart pupper is capable of this, so it’s always important to establish your alpha role in the relationship early and often. Otherwise you’ll be stuck with a not-so-pleasant pup and nobody wants that.

        Pomsky basics guide
        
        Strange bedfellows, to be sure. But their babies? Absolutely gorgeous!
        
        The 25/75 Pomsky puppies are a mix of a Pomsky and a Pomeranian. This dilutes the Husky genes,which makes for a smaller dog that’s more suitable for apartment living amongst other things.
        
        It’s really just a question of how intelligent, loving, and playful these pups turn out to be.
        
        As it is the case with most hybrid breeds, the physical appearance of a Pomsky puppy can be somewhat unpredictable. It will be cute, but beyond that it’s hard to say what will pop out of the mamma pup.
        
        Additionally, since it’s a fairly new mix, Pomsky breeders are still tweaking the ‘perfect’ look to become the breed’s standard. However, most enthusiasts seem to gravitate towards a “Huskeranian” look.
        
        This is a dog that looks quite similar to a Husky, but is much smaller in size. Of course with this sort of breeding you never know exactly how it’s going to turn out. There may be more Husky in one pup, while another pup in the exact same litter will have more Pomeranian in them.
        
        You never know! Most f1 Pomsky puppies, or first generation litters, are 50/50 Pomsky. That means that their father was a Pomeranian and their mother was a Siberian Husky.
        
        Pomsky puppies look like fluffy miniature wolves and it’s this unique appearance that has dog lovers all over the world completely infatuated. Apparently, everyone in the world wants to hug a wolf.
        
        Sadly, that’s not a particularly good idea overall. So, Pomskies are a noble substitute for this inexplicable need.
        
        These adorable pooches are one of the more recent additions to the designer dog arena. Pomskies are a result of a crossing between a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian.
        
        The Pomsky’s temperament can also be varied depending on each parent’s genetic contribution, but they are generally considered to be highly intelligent, loving, and playful dogs.
        
        How to properly feed your Pomsky
        
        When analyzing a healthy diet for your pomsky, it is crucial to think about how often you should feed them, what times are most beneficial, and what foods you should avoid in your pomskies nutrition.
        
        How often should you feed your Pomsky
        
        6+ month old dogs- Your pomsky should be fed 2 meals daily during this stage of their life. Giving them snacks between meals is recommended as well. You can plan on giving them snacks between their meals during this time as well.
        
        2-6 month old puppies- Each Pomsky puppies should be fed 3 meals daily during this period. You may need to include snacks as well in between meals.

      - Common health problems
        
        Common
        
        The super cute Husky and Pomeranian mix is still a very new breed, so it’s very hard to predict if Pomskies have any hereditary health issues. Although there is still not enough info about the Pomsky’s health, it’s safe to assume that some problems of its parent breeds could manifest in the crossbreed as well. That’s how genetics work, after all!
        
        Pomeranians often suffer from dental issues resulting from a buildup of plaque. Pomskies can also suffer from similar dental conditions and should be taken for regular dental checkups. As for the Husky genes, they might be responsible for various eye conditions and hip dysplasia. The lineage of your dog could give you a hint at some potential hereditary diseases: the 25/75 Pomskies are more likely to suffer from Pomeranian-specific illnesses, for instance. So if this is a concern, make sure to get that lineage ratio from your breeder.
        
        Of course, the safest option is to take your Pomsky to regular vet checkups, ensure they get plenty of exercise, and eat a healthy diet in the meantime. Setting good foundations will go a long way. All doggos have health problems eventually. All you can really do is raise them right and hope for the best.
        
        Puppies
        
        It’s not fair to either of you to start a relationship with a dog unless you are prepared to follow through.
        
        While Pomsky owners won’t always know what to expect due to the big variations in the designer breed standards, one thing’s for sure: they’ll need to provide proper socialization and training for their Huskeranian puppy.
        
        Pomsky puppies are adorable, but this does not mean that you should decide on getting one simply because you like their appearance.
        
        Most Pomsky litters have 5 to 7 pups, and each of the littermates can be completely different than the others: it’s all about the genetic lottery when it comes to Pomeranian Husky mixes!
        
        Getting a puppy is a big responsibility and you need to make sure you’ll be able to commit to it.
        
        That’s true of any dog. Never bring home a pup unless you are certain that you can handle the responsibilities.
        
        Exercise requirements
        
        As your puppy grows to be an adult, they’ll still need regular exercise and mental stimulation to be happy and healthy. If you’re looking for a couch potato pooch, then steer clear from the Pomeranian and Husky mixes!
        
        When not provided with an outlet for its energy, Pomskies can turn destructive and develop various behavioral problems.
        
        To ensure your puppy is productively burning off that excess energy, walk them frequently throughout the day and allocate at least an hour of your time each day for some fun games and playtime.
        
        They love to play and frolic and have seemingly infinite amounts of energy. Therefore it is important that Pomsky owners be able to cater to their pet’s exercise needs.
        
        Like Siberian Huskies and Pomeranians, Pomskies are highly energetic dogs and require quite a bit of exercise.
        
        All dogs have much higher exercise needs while they’re in the puppyhood stages, and intelligent and playfull breed such as Pomsky even more so than the others.
        
        Weight and Life Expectancy
        
        While this designer breed was created less than 10 years ago, dog experts can give a rough estimate of their lifespan. Based both on the ancestral breeds and the characteristics of the newly created hybrid breed, Pomskies should have a fairly high life expectancy of 13-15 years.
        
        The average weight of any hybrid breed doggo is usually estimated as the average weight of its two parents. Pomskies can therefore weigh anywhere between 20 to 30 pounds, but there are some exceptions. Toy Pomskies weigh up to 9 pounds, and mini Pomskies weigh 9 to 18 pounds. That’s quite a wide range for any breed of dog, so you’ll want to make sure that you know exactly which type of Pomsky that you buy from your breeder to avoid any unpleasant surprises down the road.
  - - - Behavior
        
        Like their physical characteristics, the Pomsky’s temperament can sometimes be tough to predict, and will depend entirely on each puppy’s individual genetic makeup.
        
        More often than not, Pomskies inherit the desirable traits from both Siberian Huskies and Pomeranians. That is to say that they are often highly intelligent, loving, playful, and self-assured. These are of course, traits that both the Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian possess.
        
        Of course, there are some personality traits that could be considered less than ideal that these cute Huskeranians can inherit as well. For instance, Huskies are known as talkative dogs with their vast repertoire of howls and whines, while Pomeranians are big barkers. Sometimes, this means that their offspring can be particularly yappy too. If you are particularly sensitive to noise, it’s important to keep this in mind before committing to a Pomsky.
        
        Temperament
        
        Like Pomeranians, Pomskies are highly protective of their owners and can grow into great guard dogs. They will often attempt to take on any adversary that they view as a threat to their family despite their small size. This can be both adorable and annoying, depending on the pup.
        
        Unlike Huskies, Pomeranians can sometimes be skittish around young children and some Pomsky puppies can display this tendency. So, keep that in mind if you plan on bringing a Pomsky into a large family.
        
        In any case, it’s important to note that there is no written rule about how Pomsky dogs will behave, because this is still an evolving breed and there isn’t enough information available about any breed-specific character traits. What we do know, however, is that with proper training and socialization, any puppy will grow up in a well-balanced, well-mannered and loving dog, and it’s no different for Pomeranian and Husky mixes. So, even if Pomsky have some genetic traits that might seem worrying, all it takes is careful training, strong socialization, and a loving home to ensure that you end up with the perfect pup.
