Hero image
At first glance, the petite Pomeranian and much larger Siberian Husky might not seem like a good match, but the breeds have a lot in common: Both have dense, fluffy coats; pointed, triangle-shaped ears; and fluffy, plumed tails. The mixed-breed Pomsky retains those features with Husky coloring and a size that falls somewhere in between the Husky and the Pomeranian. Pomsky dogs are outgoing, friendly, and energetic. They thrive on attention and companionship and are just as happy spending time with their families as they are hanging out with other four-legged playmates.
