Character and Nature
Since both parent breeds turn out to be extremely lively and energetic, it is hardly surprising that the Pomsky has also inherited the corresponding eagerness to move. Playful and communicative like the Spitz, smart, willing to work, and affectionate like the Husky. Since both the Spitz and the Husky have passed on a certain alertness, the Pomsky enjoys making itself known loudly from time to time and likes to inform its owners about noises of all kinds. So the Pomsky is not a →calm dog breed.
As with all new breeds and →"designer dogs" without a fixed standard for the breed, it can never be said exactly what character traits each individual furball possesses. Some Pomskys may be more inclined to protect and alert than others, who may be cuddly and playful. In any case, many Pomskys exhibit a strong-willed character as well as a confident and friendly demeanor.
In addition to the method of training, healthy snacks also play an important role. Especially in the beginning, there is much for your darling to learn - you should pay attention to feeding healthy treats that contain no sugar or other unhealthy additives.

Training and Care
Those who are already familiar with Huskies know that the →northern dogs give a lot but also require a good amount of time investment. Thus, Pomskys are certainly not self-runners and need an experienced hand at the other end of the leash that knows how to utilize the →intellect and energy of the four-legged friend. Future owners should also be prepared for the fact that Pomskys can bring a nearly endless eagerness to move, which can quickly overwhelm beginners in dog training.
Although the Pomsky fits as a →small dog breed in any city apartment, green spaces nearby are important. As a daily companion through the bustling city, the quirky dog breed is less suitable, as especially active dogs also need peace. This sporty dog would hardly say no to a private garden and also enjoys being with older children in the family. With small children, it must be decided individually depending on the traits, as the furball can act impulsively due to its protective instinct.
