![]() So, you've seen a Pomsky online, and now you're thinking about adding this pet to your family. But, having a variety of pets can be frustrating if they don't get along, so the question comes up. If I get a Pomsky, will it get along with my other pets? You're in luck! A Pomsky is a mixture of two amazing dog breeds, the Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian. Like the husky dog breed, Pomskies are born with excellent leadership abilities making them want to lead or be led with a pack. 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. What to do if you want your Pomsky to get along with your other pets 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. Make sure to always take time to spend with your Pomsky, such as taking it on walks, playing games like fetch and tug, and giving it the daily scratch it needs. It's also possible that your Pomsky might be having separation anxiety from missing its previous home. Make sure to try to make your Pomsky feel at home as much as possible, by giving it its own space for its food and bed. A spot that only belongs to them. Are Pomskies Good Pets? If you are still uncertain whether to add this designer dog to your family, you are probably wondering if a Pomsky will be a good pet. But, like with other decisions in life, it depends. I feel that different breeds work better with certain personalities. For example, if you like to relax and sit back after a long day at work, then finding a dog that wants the same will work best with your personality and lifestyle. Pomskies temperament is energetic, loving, bold, and intelligent. If you are active and love playing around, this dog is perfect for you. It's also an excellent fit for a family with kids because their energy usually matches well with each other. Important things to consider Training is essential If you are going to be adding this breed to your amazing family, it is essential that it is trained. Especially if you will be around other dogs or pets. Because of their hyper and energetic personalities, Pomskies can get hard to handle without the right training in hand. They have a lot of energy Pomskies love to play and be involved in family activities. You may want to consider having a pet that can match that and be an enjoyment for your Pomsky.

They come in a broad assortment of colors. Some Pomeranian's will have a particular color of coat but shed it off after their puppy years and then have a new color of fur. Their coats are usually long and thick. Pomskies Pomskies can inherit their fur type from either the Pomeranian or Siberian Husky. Their furs length, type, and color will depend on what gene becomes more prominent. Huskies The Siberian Husky has a double coat, an under coat and an overcoat. This helps it when the weather starts getting too cold or too hot. The Siberian Husky should be groomed at least once per day. This breed also sheds a lot and is even above average for dogs. Size Difference (Pomsky vs. Husky vs. Pomeranian)Pomeranian Pomeranian dogs are usually very small in size. They can reach 7 to 12 inches tall and weigh anywhere from 3 to 7 pounds. Pomskies Pomskies are average in size mainly, but the exact height is unknown. Both parents have different size comparisons, so it just depends on the gene they carry most.

SummaryPomskies and Pomeranians are very similar in nature and can even look very close in appearance. They are both very great dogs to have around the house and often make great friends. On the other hand Pomskies and Huskies are usually the most similar as far as appearance rather than size. Both the Husky and Pomeranian breeds are very stunning and make an amazing Pomsky breed. How does Pomsky compare to Siberian Husky?Siberian Huskies come in a variety of colors, so many that it would be hard to name them all. They even have some patterns and strikes that most other breeds don’t. Their colors range anywhere in between black and white, including copper, red, and sable. Because most Siberian Huskies were raised in the cold weather which is why their coats are very thick. Their fur is very straight and smooth, and just like Pomeranians, they have a double coat. Because the pomskies have double coats its recommended not to shave their coat or cut their undercoat. When you take your Pomsky to the groomer you should ask the groomer to only do a sanitary trim. An experienced groomer should know what this is. If this fur is shaved it can ruin their coat permanently. A pomskies double coat protects them from the sun as it does the cold weather. Pomskies have a few different types of coats, smooth coat, plush coat, and a wooly coat. |
