About Pomskies
How Big Do Pomskies Get?
Pomskies are heavy for their height, solidly built, with moderate bone density. Adult Pomskies fall into one of three size categories- micro, mini, or standard.
Different Coat Types
Pomskies have a double-coat, with a dense soft undercoat and a top coat of straight guard hairs. These coats protect the sensitive skin in both hot and cold weather, acting as an insulating layer.
Pomsky Temperament
The temperament of each Pomsky can differ. Overall, Pomskies are intelligent, fiercely loyal, and playful. They are good-natured and curious, which makes them easily teachable. They enjoy spending time with their owners and make devoted companions for people with an active to semi-active lifestyle. Pomsky energy levels can vary, but they generally tend to be medium-energy dogs, making them suitable for life in the city and suburbs. They are affectionate and social, doing well with other dogs and children. Like most dogs, Pomskies thrive on proper training. Our goal is to produce a middle-ground temperament, dogs that can go on a jog with you but still be able to wind down with you at night and watch tv on the couch.
Do Pomskies Shed?
Pomskies shed! We recommend brushing Pomskies of all coat types regularly. Wooly Pomskies shed the least often until they blow their coats, which occurs about twice a year, and why shedding is minimal throughout the year. Plush coats tend to shed slightly more than wooly coats. Standard coats shed throughout the year. We recommend a high-quality pin brush, a slicker brush, and an undercoat rake. Never use a Furminator on a Pomsky. This type of brush has a blade that will cut your Pomskies' guard hair! NEVER shave a Pomsky, and avoid any tool that cuts guard hairs. Once cut, they do not grow back the same. Pomskies should not be bathed more than once a month unless necessary, bathing your Pomsky too frequently will dry out their skin.
