The Pomsky began as mix between a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian. Now with the goal of AKC recognition for the breed, American Eskimo has been added to the breed mix. You'll notice some breeders adding the American Eskimo and some sticking with the original Husky/Pom cross, both are acceptable. We do have American Eskimo in some of our dogs.
The Pomsky is a delightful blend of energy, friendliness, and personality! Bred with the primary goal of being your perfect companion, Pomskies are not just pets; they're family members who want to be right by your side. Their vibrant and playful nature makes them an ideal fit for families with children or anyone seeking an active and loving furry friend. Pomskies are the ultimate adventure buddies during the day, ready for outdoor fun, and in the evening, they transform into expert snugglers, making every couch moment special. These smart furballs bring an extra dose of joy to your life, but they can be a bit stubborn. Early and consistent training is the key, and we recommend working with a trainer to make the experience enjoyable for both you and your Pomsky, especially if you're a first-time dog owner. Expect a symphony of "talks" and occasional howls, as Pomskies are vocal in expressing their affection. While they may alert you to potential trouble, their friendly nature makes them better suited for spreading joy rather than protection. They thrive in the company of other dogs and often get along famously with cats. They are suitable for apartment living, as long as they receive sufficient mental and physical exercise.
We offer all puppies to our waitlist families first. If any puppies are remaining after waitlist selections, we post them as available on Facebook, Instagram and this website.
On average, families could expect to wait 2-6 months. However, our list is continuously growing and changing, please contact us for the most up-to-date information.
Welcoming one of our Pomsky puppies into your home comes with an average investment of $3,500. Raising these adorable companions is not just a job; it's a labor of love that demands our full attention. We spare no effort in carefully selecting exceptional parent dogs and providing the utmost care in nurturing our puppies. They are raised in a pristine and secure environment, ensuring cleanliness and safety, while also benefiting from extensive socialization and top-notch veterinary care. Beyond the joy of bringing home a high-quality Pomsky, you become part of our extended family, receiving a lifetime of dedicated support.
If you see a Pomsky elsewhere for a price that seems too good to be true, it may be a scam or puppy-mill. Click here for more info on how to avoid scams or, Click here for an article on why you shouldn't buy from a pet store or puppy-mill.
We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to join our waitlist. An approved application is required before placing a deposit.
For the health and safety of our family, dogs and puppies we do not allow visitors as a regular practice. Each time a new person enters our home it poses a risk for parvo or other infectious disease being spread unknowingly. We work hard to post photos/videos of our puppies daily from the time they are born and onward. We are more than happy to share personality traits that we've witnessed in each puppy and also video chat with you.
After placing a deposit, you may make payments towards the remaining cost of your puppy, but the balance must be paid in full by the time the puppy reaches 8 weeks of age. No puppy will leave until paid in full.
All our puppies are sold on a strict spay and neuter contract unless otherwise discussed. We only work with responsible/ethical breeders. If breeding rights are granted, an additional fee will apply.
Pomskies are not yet recognized by the AKC. We provide Embark DNA/Health reports on our parent dogs and a comprehensive veterinary examination on each puppy. To further represent our legitimacy, we are proud members of the American Pomsky Kennel Club, Pomsky Owner's Association, GoodDog.com and can also be found on The Dog Journal's list of top Pomsky breeders.
Pomkies can come in 3 sizes categories.
TOY: Under 10” tall at the shoulder, and up to 15 pounds
MINI: Up to 14” at the shoulder, and between 12-20 pounds.
STANDARD: 14-18” tall at the shoulder, and between 20-35 pounds.
The majority of our puppies mature in the Mini and Standard categories, with an occasional Toy size. We can never guarantee an adult weight, but we do our best to make accurate predictions. We personally love the Pomsky for their small/medium build and have no intentions of breeding them down to Pomeranian size.
Simply put, standard is short, plush is medium and wooly is long. For a more in-depth look into each coat type, please click here, which will direct you to an article posted by the American Pomsky Kennel Club.
YES, and they are not hypoallergenic. Pomskies blow their coats and shed heavily for approximately 2-3 weeks, twice a year. The remainder of the time they are still moderate shedders. However, they are not smelly dogs and don't require frequent baths. We recommend a trip to the groomer every 3 months to remove loose hair and prevent any matting. Pomskies should never ever be shaved.
Pomskies are known to be extremely healthy but as a relatively new breed, their health and lifespan are still being monitored.
The most common concern is luxating patella, which is often seen in Pomeranians and other toy size breeds. Although not a life-threatening condition, it can be painful, and surgery may be required in severe cases. Unfortunately, there is no way to 100% prevent luxating patella as it can have both genetic and environmental causes. We still screen all our parent dogs for this condition before breeding to decrease any risk to our puppies.
Dental disease is another concern often passed on from the Pomeranian. It is more frequently seen in the toy size Pomskies. Maintaining good dental health is important for any dog though, we recommend budgeting for a dental cleaning from your veterinarian at least once every 5 years.
