Pomsky breed at a glance:
- A Pomsky is a designer breed with the genetic makeup of a Pomeranian and Siberian Husky.
- The Pomsky breed is loyal, outgoing, mischievous, friendly, alert, and lively.
- They make wonderful companions for a wide range of families, with or without children.
- They are suitable for living in almost all living quarters; condominiums, apartments, rural areas, duplex's, town homes and general housing.
- Pomskies typically get along with other animals and is a versatile breed.
- Typical life expectancy of a Pomsky is between ten (10) to sixteen (16) years.
General Appearance:
- The Pomsky has a double coat and has a well furred body, along with a brush tail. His coat can come in three (3) varieties: wooly, plush or traditional husky coat.
- The wooly coat still has a double coat, but with guard hairs longer then the traditional coat.

Size:
- The Pomsky can come in three sizes with medium energy levels - Standard, Miniature, and Toy - but other than size, the appearance of the three is the same.
- Weight typical can range between six (6) to thirty (30) pounds. However, the size of a Pomsky is NOT gauged on the weight, but more on height itself.
- Every single Pomsky is unique, and (even within the same litter) there can be a noticeable difference in size between siblings.
- The size of a very young Pomsky puppy is not an accurate indicator of adult height/weight! They will reach max height first and then fill out in body mass last.
- Genetics play the biggest role in determining the adult size of any Pomsky puppy, but health and diet also have an effect.
