FAQs

Do Pomskies pick one person? ›

They have a fiercely loyal streak, which means they may latch onto one member of the household as their primary person, although they generally tend to get along well with everyone. They can be skittish around small children, though, and may not be a good fit for families with very young kids.

Pomskies are known to be quite stubborn, which can make training a challenge. They have a strong will and can be resistant to commands they don't want to follow. This can be frustrating for owners who are trying to train their Pomsky.

The price of an ethically bred, health-tested pomsky puppy usually falls in the $2000-3500 range.

Intelligent and eager learner

The Pomsky is a breed known for its intelligence and eagerness to learn, making training a generally enjoyable experience. They are quick to pick up commands and enjoy mental challenges.

Almost all Pomskies are indeed snuggly, and love to cuddle. There are only a few pups we get each year, that spend their first 8 weeks with us, that are more independent and prefer to roam around, following their nose and don't like tight spaces like people's arms.

Excitement, anxiety, frustration, pain, attention seeking, and resource solicitation are all common reasons dogs whine at their people. Most commonly, these sounds are aimed at conveying the desire for food, water, a potty break, a toy, attention, etc.

What you probably don't realize is that these puppies are one of the most genetically rare color of Pomskies that there are, they are "blue" puppies. The only coat color more rare for Pomskies at this time is "lavender", which is a genetic step further than the blue color.

Some factors that determine this high-end price is the breeder's reputation, specific coat color, and eyes. E.g., a White coat with blue eyes. You may be able to find a Pomsky for around $700-800 at a puppy farm, but these dogs do not come with a health guarantee that most breeders provide.

Toy Pomskies weigh up to 15 pounds and are less than 10 inches tall at the shoulder. Mini Pomskies weigh 12–20 pounds and stand up to 14 inches tall at the shoulder. Standard Pomskies weigh 20–35 pounds and are 12–18 inches tall at the shoulder.

Pomskies can be escape artists like huskies, but do not wander to the same degree. Some of our pomskies are great off leash, but you typically can't trust huskies off leash. You will want a secure yard with a fence, as Pomskies are very active and can get a good workout in a decent sized yard.

How long do Pomsky live? ›

Pomskies, like most dogs, take a lot of naps during the daytime, sometimes the total amount of sleep they get can be up to 14 hours each day if you include the naps.

They can display aggressive behaviors, especially if one or both of their parents had aggressive tendencies, or if they are not trained properly. Using positive reinforcement training methods and giving them lots of rewards is the best teaching method.

Pomskies are a great fit for families with other pets. Their fun and energetic temperament works perfectly with all types of animals, especially other dogs. If your Pomsky is having a tough start and isn't doing well with the other pets in the home, it may have some jealousy issues.

You can leave your Pomsky at home for several hours as long as you train it from the beginning and start gradually. You should not leave your Pomsky alone for more than three or four hours (half a day). Please do not regularly leave your Pomsky alone for five to seven hours. This basically applies to all dogs.

Pomskies are playful, intelligent, and very loyal. A Pomsky puppy can latch onto one specific member of the family and be wary when meeting strangers, so proper socialization is important to help ensure your dog will be friendly when meeting new people and other pets.
