FAQs

Are Pomskies difficult dogs? ›

They are not dogs who will ever shine in the obedience ring, as they are independent, scorn training and are selectively bred for one purpose. They are active and agile, and as such can be difficult to keep as a companion dog.

They have a fiercely loyal streak, which means they may latch onto one member of the household as their primary person, although they generally tend to get along well with everyone.

These adorable dogs are bred for their tendency to look puppy-like as adults. Currently, there aren't many Pomsky breeders, making them rare and very expensive — from $2,000 to $5,000.

While their grooming needs are very easy, they definitely shed. Pomskies are also not ideal for the “lazier” or non-active families, as they are happiest when they have someone who plays with them, takes them on walks or includes them on drives or family outings.

If you can find a reputable breeder with a Pomsky, the price range could be between $2000-$3000. Show-quality puppies could even be as high as $5000. A full-grown adult Pomsky's price could be a little lower as compared to puppies at around $1500.

Behaviour of the Pomsky

They often express their love through playful antics and cuddles, making them ideal companions for those who enjoy an active and affectionate pet. Pomskies appreciate having an attentive owner who can provide them with the interaction and mental stimulation they need for their well-being.

Pomskies blow their coat and will shed heavily usually twice per year.

They will most likely show how they miss their mother and siblings by crying. It can get loud and that is normal. Crating them and placing their stuffie in the crate with them with a blanket over the top helps and muffles the noise until they become accustomed to it.

You can leave your Pomsky at home for several hours as long as you train it from the beginning and start gradually. You should not leave your Pomsky alone for more than three or four hours (half a day). Please do not regularly leave your Pomsky alone for five to seven hours. This basically applies to all dogs.

Pomskies, just like any other dog, require time, patience, trust and training to achieve remarkable things, including proper behavior, indoors and outdoors. Pomskies are wonderful at being off leash.
