Since the Pomsky is a new breed in the designer dog world, there isn’t a perfected standard for the breed. But, by combining your Siberian Husky and Pomeranian knowledge, you may get an idea. But, what if the Pomskies mother’s only breed isn’t a Siberian Husky? That’s where Pomsky generations come into play.

As of now, there are four known Pomsky generations. Depending on a Pomskies generation, there may be varying colors, patterns, and sizes. But, in reality, a Pomsky could turn out to be a compact ball of fur resembling a Pomeranian. But, due to how new this designer dog is, a Pomsky may end up with all the majestic Siberian Husky traits.

Somewhere out there is the perfect personality blend for the Pomsky. The blend that combines the Siberian Husky and Pomeranian personalities together. The Siberian Husky and Pomeranian breed already have personality qualities that are similar.

Similar Personality Traits of The Siberian Husky and Pomeranian

• Loyal
• Inquisitive
• Sociable
• Friendly
• Active

The size of the Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian that we know today my seem to vary. The ideal size for a Siberian Husky is anywhere from 35 – 60 pounds (16 – 27 kilograms). In an ideal situation, a female is smaller than a male. The same goes for the Siberian Huskies height. Females should be smaller in height than the males. The ideal height may vary from 20 – 24 inches (50 – 60 centimeters).

The size difference between the Siberian Husky and Pomeranian is easy to see. The Pomeranian breed that we know today is often seen as “compact.” The ideal height of a Pomeranian is only one size. Their ideal height is 8 inches. That’s a bit of a difference from the 20 – 24 inches of the Siberian Husky. The Pomeranian weight also differs from the ideal Siberian Husky weight. The ideal Pomeranian weight varies from 4.2 – 7.7 pounds.

Even the best Pomsky breeder may not achieve the ideal size for a Pomsky. This is because the breed is still a work in progress. But, dedicated Pomsky breeders do have requirements they’re trying to achieve. The ideal height of a Pomsky would be 10 – 15 inches. Which is a bit larger than the compact Pomeranian. But, a good bit less than the elegant Siberian Husky. The ideal Pomsky weight is also a healthy mix of the Pomeranian and the Siberian Husky. The ideal Pomsky weight is anywhere between 20 – 30 pounds.

The fluffy compact breed we know as the Pomeranian wasn’t always so “compact.” In fact, the Pomeranian was more like its Spitz cousin, the Keeshond. The Keeshond is another adorable, fluffy member of the Spitz family. The Keeshond’s ideal height is anywhere between 17 – 18 inches. Their ideal weight varies from 31 – 40 pounds. There are similarities between the Keeshond’s ideal size and the Pomsky ideal size.

The first version of the Pomeranian, the Pomeraniana became familiar in the 18th century. Compact sized Pomeranian’s didn’t peek interest until Queen Victoria showed one off. One that was 50% smaller than the original Pomeranian size. That’s when Pomeranian breeders began experimenting with size. That’s another thing they have in common with the Siberian Husky. The Pomeranian hasn’t always came off as “compact.”

To better determine features of a Pomsky, it’s important to look at Pomsky generations. As of now, the cute Pomsky breed has five known generations.
