This breed of dog is one of the newest that exist. The Pomsky are hybrid or mixed dogs, specifically the result of the mixture between two very popular Nordic breeds: the Siberian Husky and the Lulu of Pomerania. Therefore, its name consists of a combination of the names of the two precursor races, occupying the first three letters of “pomeranian” and the last three letters of “husky”, a curious way of honoring their genetic origins.
Normally, Pomsky’s mother is Husky breed and the father is Pomeranian, so a “big” mother gives birth to puppies smaller than her, which avoids complications during childbirth. However, this is not an exact science, because the genetics of parents is not the only one that influences, but also that of previous parents, like grandparents.
