The living quarters of a Pomsky do not need to be large. The importance of exercise and outside time come into play here. The Pomsky may live very happily in a smaller house/apartment/condominium/trailer without issue. Your Pomsky will still require daily exercise outside of the home. The Pomsky does not require a yard, as long as they are receiving adequate exercise elsewhere. Please visit our Breed Page for more great information concerning the exercise needs of a Pomsky.
The Pomsky will have minimal daily shedding. The Pomsky’s coat has a double-thickness, meaning that there is a thicker under coat and a longer over coat or guard hairs. The undercoat is shed once or twice per year. Beyond that, the Pomsky has minimal brushing requirements. Please see our Breed Page for more information on the Pomsky fur coat and its maintenance.
The expected life span of a Pomsky is 12-15 years. Please note that a healthy life style for your Pomsky is crucial to this outcome. A healthy diet, proper weight management, exercise and medical care, as well as genetics and size play important roles in establishing a great quality and quantity of life for your Pomsky. Did you know that spaying and neutering your Pomsky will help increase their life expectancy?

No. Barking or any vocalization is a learned behavior which can either be encouraged or discouraged in your new puppy.

Some of our Siberian Huskies enjoy talking on command as part of a trick we have taught, such as letting out soft howls and voicing sweet nothings!
