Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pomsky?
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 orginal Husky/Pom cross, both are acceptable. We do have American Eskimo in some of our dogs.
Do you have any available puppies?
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.
How long is your waitlist?
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.
How much is the deposit?
We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to join our waitlist. An approved application is required before placing a deposit.
Can we choose a puppy in person?
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.
Do you offer payment Plans?
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.
What if we want to breed our pomsky?
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.
Do your puppies come with papers?
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.
What is their temperament like?
The Pomsky is friendly, playful and full of personality! They are ideal for families with children or active individuals of any age. A Pomsky will adventure with you during the day and snuggle on the couch with you in the evenings! Pomskies do not enjoy being left alone for long periods and require a moderate/high level of exercise. They are extremely bright, but they can be stubborn, so consistent training early on is crucial. We recommend working with a trainer, especially for first time dog owners. Most will talk and howl but not bark frequently; they will alert you of trouble but are too friendly to be used for protection. They do very well with other dogs and cats. We find them much easier to manage than a standard Siberian Husky and suitable for apartment living.
How big do Pomskies get?
Pomskies can come in a variety of sizes from 10-35+lbs. The majority of our puppies mature in the 18-25lb range. At this time, we do not intentionally breed for micro/toy puppies (under 12lbs). We can never guarantee size, but we do our best to make accurate predictions.
What is the difference between standard, plush and wooly coats?
Simply put, standard is short, plush is medium and wooly is long/fluffy. For a more in-depth look into each coat type please click the button below which will direct you to an article posted by the American Pomsky Kennel Club.
Do Pomskies shed?
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. We recommend a trip to the groomer every 3 months to remove loose hair and prevent matting. Pomskies should never ever be shaved.
