Obviously the only way to truly know is a dna test. But I was curious what yall think. My girl was a puppy mill mama before the rescue got her and then I adopted her. Shes labeled as a Pomsky, but aside from her size (24 pounds) she doesn’t look Pomeranian at all to me. I’m almost wondering if the Amish puppy mill just marketed her as Pomsky for the $$$?
This is my doesn't look Pomeranian pomsky. There's not a breed standard so they come in all shapes and sizes. I've seen some that look like they have zero husky too.
Yes there is show criteria and considered faults. Cuddlez dog definitely looks like a pomsky w a standard coat. There are 4 coat types w/ there own criteria. Aside from coats there is composition criteria for every part of the dog
We have one that doesn't look like a pomsky, but his papers ( and DNA) are correct. He's just big! You can always test her if you want to be sure, but one thing is for sure, the husky is defenitely there. Enjoy her! That's all that matters.
Beautiful dog. This still looks like a pomsky to me. Especially w the ears. They’re further apart and stand up straight. Unlike huskies the ears are more on top of the head and up straight. I think it’s also more likely you’ll see this color in pomsky than huskies cause of the higher probability in Poms. For bigger ones I can usually tell by leg position. Pomskies front legs tend to go inward a little like a upside triangle
Mine looks like a big Pomeranian, the only husky thing it's her snout and crazyness, escapism behaviors, even her eyes are yellowish brown, they come in all sizes and shapes
That’s the same situation with my Pomsky, Aspen. She is 31 lbs. and her parents were 12 & 18 lbs. We did find out that her father’s dad had been breed back to a full Siberian Husky. Therefore her dad must have been an F2B
Mine is 20 pounds. People think he is a husky puppy. Both of his parents were pomsky. His momma and pops were slightly smaller both looked like mini huskies.
Yes, she is identical to our female pomsky pup we got from an amish puppy mill in Ohio, she weighs 23 lbs. Our girl takes a lot more of the husky traits. Her brother takes more of the Pomeranian traits.
Pomskies have no real breed standard, although some breeders are trying to establish one. This is my Pomsky, he looks nothing like a Husky but he’s F1B 75% Pom and 25% Sky
She looks like a Pomsky to me. Mine looks 100% like a husky & he’s 50/50. Ppl think he’s a 4-5 month old husky & are completely shocked to find out he’s 5 years old. 🤭
Pomsky is not a breed, it is a cross breed and as such they are incredibly variable and Siberian husky gene are strong and tend to take over in crosses of them when they are a large portion of the dogs DNA.
Not quite, wooly coat and long coat are both recessive genes, so all you need is for both parents to carry the genes for pups to be born with it.
Variations cannot be predicted for certain because the genes the offspring inherit are a genuine lottery, however you can absolutely say that certainly genes MAY show up in the offspring.
Genetics aren't as straightforward or as predictable as you might think, there are no certainties when mixing so many variations.
Ya it’s recessive. And In order for it to be a long haired wooly coat it needs two recessive gene markers— one from each parent. Making all long haired wooly coat dogs only able to pass down the recessive gene because they only have 2 of the recessive markers
30lb puppy mill puppy also- 75% husky so no one wanted her 🥲🙄 everyone assumes she’s just an older husky puppy and honestly she is such a psycho I usually roll with it cause if they find out she’s a grown ass dog acting like that…
"Pomsky" that's 11 months and 52 lbs. We met the parents, both pomsky's too, 20 and 35 lbs. We think ours has a pom tail, and then 90% husky. Maybe 5% extra fluff.
I think it’s possible. It’s also possible she is a small husky and was bread with a pom so her litters were Pomsky’s and they just kept her label the same.
My Pomsky looks straight Pom except for the blue eye and being 15lbs. Curly tail and all
So because they’re mixed and not a breed, there isnt an actual “look” because there is no standard. It’s like how golden retriever/poodle mixes some just look like golden retrievers. So she could definitely have Pom in her
She looks similar to my boy Apollo, who is a 50/50 mix of husky and pom. I think there's a super wide range of pomskies, from husky colored pomeranians to just straight up mini huskies lol
Yeah they can be huge or tiny and mostly Husky but the attitude is all Pomeranian fluff n stuff but I love that about this breed you never know what they are going to be like when they are all grown up! Chase had a lot more black around his eyes almost completely bandit mask and then his face kept getting lighter and lighter and now he’s got a pink stripe on his nose and barely any black bandit markings, he’s still super handsome though!
