The personality of the Pomsky is one of its most endearing qualities. They are generally very friendly and outgoing dogs who love to be around people and other animals. They are also very intelligent and eager to please their owners which makes them easy to train.

Pomskies are usually quite friendly with other dogs as well as cats and children if they have been properly socialized from an early age.

In terms of adaptability level, the Pomsky does well in both urban environments as well as rural ones due to its intelligence level making them suitable pets for all types of households! The benefits that come with owning a pomsky include having an intelligent companion who loves being around people as well as being able to provide lots of love and affection without taking up too much space in your home!

History

The Pomsky is a relatively new dog breed that is a cross between a Pomeranian and a Siberian Husky. The breed was first developed in the early 2000s in the United States, and they are now recognized by several major kennel clubs. The Pomsky is still quite rare, but their popularity has been growing steadily in recent years.

The Pomeranian is a small Spitz-type dog that originated in Germany. They were originally bred as working dogs, but they eventually became popular as companion animals. The Siberian Husky is a large working dog that originated in Siberia. They were originally bred by the Chukchi people to pull sleds and help with hunting.

The Pomsky is a hybrid of these two breeds, and they inherit the best qualities of both parents. They are intelligent, friendly, and have low shedding coats. They are also relatively easy to train and make great family pets. However, they do require some exercise and may not be suitable for very small homes or apartments.

The ancestry of the Pomsky is somewhat uncertain, as there are no records of the exact origins of the first dogs used to create the breed. However, it is believed that the first Pomskies were bred in Alaska or Canada using Alaskan Huskies or Siberian Huskies mixed with Toy or Miniature Poodles.

The Pomsky was first recognized as a distinct breed in 2009 by the International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR). The IDCR is not affiliated with any major kennel club, but their recognition helped to increase interest in the breed. In 2012, the American Kennel Club (AKC) added the Pomeranian to their Foundation Stock Service (FSS), which is a program for tracking new and rare breeds. The AKC does not currently recognize the Pomeranian-Husky mix as its own separate breed, but this could change in the future if more breeders choose to register their dogs with them.

There are only a handful of reputable breeders producing quality Pomskies at this time, so prices for puppies can be quite high. A well-bred puppy from a reputable breeder can cost anywhere from $1000-$3000 USD. Because of their rarity, it is important to do your research before purchasing a Pomsky puppy to make sure you are getting a healthy animal from a responsible breeder
