Yeah, I have a pomsky I got at 16 weeks. I know about Siberian Huskies and their paw sizes. My Pomsky has got to be more Husky. He has the huge Husky paws and snout. He's categorized as a Medium sized pup. He's 3 years old now. His name is Max, Max is a big fluffy pup. We live in NYC, I wanted to get another Pomsky more like companion for Max. I was told I may have to get a female because another male may cause issues such as fights over who's more dominant in the pack.
This was such a great video! As a scientist, I appreciated how you explained variability, which to me, is more important than the average. My little girl, Celest, who is 8 weeks old (2nd generation) is arriving tomorrow, so I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos!
Haha, our next video will be very similar to this one, but focused on Pomsky color rather than Pomsky weight. Lots of variability there too :). It should come out this weekend.
Hi James and Laurent! Our puppy, Maud is the sister of your Beedi. Ginger and Timber are her parents. I'd love to send you pictures so she can be in your next video (or get together for a playdate sometime)! We are also adopting Ginger at the end of December, as she is retiring from breeding!
Hello, I have a pomsky! Is the dog digging in water yours? He is the exact same size as mine and has the same coat markings, along with the saddle mark on his back! Please reach out to me on instagram @antonlidukhover
Thank you so much for this! I have two Pomskies and its so easy to tell which one got more pom than husky. At 4mos, my girl charted at 7.5lbs and my boy charted at 11lbs even though she is older by 12 days. Her paws are soooo small and dainty while his are bigger and more prominent. I cannot wait to see them grow!!
This was very interesting! My family is breeding Pomskies, my first one was a 2nd generation. Then she bred with a 1st generation, and had my dog Shasta. Shasta is currently pregnant! We actually just got her DNA results, and she's 50.1% Siberian Husky and 49.9% Pomeranian! She's about 25lbs, and started the largest in her litter of 6. Then she was the smallest. And now she's in the middle! Her female siblings are all smaller besides her younger sister Mia who is a little bigger. Then her brother is bigger than her mom who's 30lbs! Her mom Kota is 50/50, so her dad must be the reason she's not exactly 50/50. They told us he was 50/50, but she's only a tenth of a percent off so it's fine. And we didn't work with them this time! The father to Shasta's puppies was only 8 lbs tho!! We were going for smaller pups anyways, but we'll see. ^^
This was super helpful, thank u so much! I just adopted a pomsky puppy from a friend who's moving away, so any info abt his breed is super appreciated! 💕
i have a pomski that will be 9 weeks tomorrow. Her name is Bella. She looks more husky than pom. She is so greedy. She is always very active.❤ She weighed 4.3 lbs @ 8 weeks. I can't wait to see how big she's going to be.
My little man just turned 1. We got him at 4lbs(he was the middle pup). He is currently sitting around 25lbs and looks so much like Theo. Even the little black tipped ear! It's like my dog was shrink rayed. Tho my pup has blue eyes.
The size variation in pomskies is pretty nuts. My pup Ashe is full grown and tops the charts at 12 pounds. Her mom was abt 25 pounds and her dad was abt 40 pounds
Great video. Thanks guys. Just want you guys to know my pomsky “opie” is a first generation pomsky. He’s big, 48lbs and lean too. Just be careful if you want a small/medium dog. “Opie” is a pomsky and classified as a large dog. He must have taken more genetics from the husky.
Since Pomskies are not a real breed (yet), everything goes right now. Assuming Huskies and Pomeranians don't go extinct, there will always be a way to make more Pomskies :).
@@JamesandLaurent I hope you make another video for discovering more information about Pomsky breeder, Or some place that you guys like to talk about. I love both!😊
My little boy is 34 lbs A little bit on the bigger side but its all freaking muscles The funniest though is when he goes from winter coat to summer coat - you realize how tiny he actually is
I have a 4yr old female F1 pomsky that is 11lbs which I did adopted her when she was 4 1/2 mths through a breeder. We did breed her this past yr with our Throwback Merle Pomeranian that is 15lbs. Currently my F1b pomski pups are going on 5 mths (looking like they're on the miniature/teacup side) & we are waiting to see if they are going to get any bigger.
My Pomsky is currently 20.8 lbs at 19 weeks. He was 7.3 lbs at 8 weeks so it’s a little over the 2.5x mark I was expecting. Breeder originally charted him to be between 20-30lbs, but it seems like he’ll be surpassing that range at this rate 😅
At 19 weeks there's still plenty of grow time since they usually take 12 months to level off, just be sure to feed the pup a hi quality food, I think that's the most important thing, Also is the pup a male or female ? And what about Mom & Dad ?
Love Pomsky’s and appreciate this video, it’s very informative 🥰 I ran into a guy who is selling pups who’s dad is a Pomsky and mom is a husky lab mix. Can anyone tell me how big they think the pups may get? Are the odds closer to my pomsky’s size or will it be a bigger then her? I asked the person but they said they couldn’t even give me a guess if it be more on the medium odds or small odds and in the pictures they all looked like husky pups so I don’t know if there is a feature to look for. I know no one can say for sure but I was hoping to get a opinion of range idea like will the pup be medium large or medium small or just medium? I can’t figure the odds 😩
Funny you should ask. We just started to work on a video about how to feed your Pomsky if he/she is a picky eater. We hope to have it ready sometime in April.
thanks for the video. I adopted an husky (7 months old) few days ago and they told me that he's pomsky. now, i have already one husky and the new dog doesnt look pomsky at all! how do I know if he has pomsky genes or not? (i only wanna know cuz of the weight tracking)
Hello! Great video, i watched manz of zour videos and i am intrested in adopting a pomsky. Are there any recomended sites that i can buy a pomsky from? Please let me know! thx
Are you in the US? If so, we highly recommend the breeder where we got Beedi. Their name is Oxsana Perfect Pomsky. Otherwise, a lot of Pomskies end up in shelters because of owners who didn't do their research properly and didn't realize what they got themselves into when getting a Pomsky puppy. If you're lucky, your local shelter may have one from time to time.
I just purchased a Pomsky puppy that is arriving on Saturday. I was told by the breeder she would be small, around 12 - 17 lbs. (no guarantees, just an estimation based on her size now and her parents). The puppy I purchased (named Bella) is a F2 Pomsky. Bella’s mother is a F1 generation Pomsky and she weighs 16 lbs. Bella’s Father is a F1 Pomsky and he weighs 10 lbs. Bella is 8 weeks old today and she weighs 5 lbs. Her paws look small in the pictures and videos sent. She definitely looks more like a Husky than a Pomeranian (I can send pictures). James and Laurent, in your opinion, do you think the breeders weight estimation is correct? Or is this just not enough information to make any sort of estimate.
It is hard to tell, but 12 to 17 lbs sounds about right, given all the information you provided. Keep us posted when she's 4 or 5 months. We'd love to know.
Appreciate you're trying to explain a complex topic, but your explanation of %'s Husky/Pomeranian is not right unfortunately. To take an example, you've said that breeding two Pomskies will create a Pomsky which is a 50/50 mix of Husky and Pomeranian. This isn't right, in theory you could get 100% Husky or 100% Pomeranian when breeding two Pomskies! This is because you each Pomsky parent donates only one of its pair of genes, so if they both happen to donate Husky genes, then they recombine to a complete pair of Husky genes in the F2 Pomsky. Obviously it's unlikely that would happen for every pair of genes, but you get the point. This is why F2 Pomskies are less predictable in their characteristics. Several rounds of breeding Pomskies are required to reliably select for preferred traits.
Thanks for your comment 😘. We stand behind our explanations. We believe we are simplifying a complex topic. You believe we are oversimplifying it. We are happy to agree to disagree 😉. We have seen many Pomsky DNA tests and they rarely go beyond 53/47 one way or the other. Whenever they deviate far from 50/50, it's because one of the Pomskies was backbred at some point in the lineage. This is a video explaining Pomsky weight, not a genetics 101 video, in which case we would have been more selective with our wording 😇.
@@JamesandLaurent I think simplification is fine if that's the level of your main audience. However, there should be some acknowledgement that you're presenting a simplified view in the video, rather than presenting it as actual fact. Ultimately you're telling people that an F2 Pomsky is definitely going to be a 50/50 split, when we both know that a very wide range of possibilities can actually occur. In the worst case this misleading statement could lead to some people buying puppies that grow into dogs they can't handle.
Since you clearly have a lot of free time on your hand and seem to be very knowledgeable, you should use all that free time to make better videos than these two guys. Mankind would be grateful.
@@kylelaherty9747 Interesting suggestion Kyle, but it wouldn't be an efficient approach. I'm not a content creator and it takes a lot of time to establish a subscriber base with impact. For me the issue isn't important enough to justify that sort of time investment. It is important enough that I'm willing to spare 5mins to provide the content creators with constructive criticism though.
Your videos are so helpful!! There is a breeder within driving distance of me, but how can I be sure they are reputable? What should I check for? I hope to find one I can drive to, even if it’s far-ish.
Our breeder Oxsana Perfect Pomsky is in mid-Illinois, next to St Louis. It might be a little bit of a drive from Detroit, but they are one of the oldest Pomsky breeders in the country and we highly recommend them. We didn't have to drive all the way over there. They met us halfway when we picked her up. But they also ship Pomskies cross country. You should check them out. BTW, you know that James is a Spartan and Laurent a Wolverine :)
Oh good! Thank you for the information. I will start following your breeder to try and catch a puppy in the spring. Mid-Illinois would be fine! My mom is from the Chicago area so I am familiar with the drive West. I am also a Spartan!!! I hope your household isn’t too contentious on game days!! 💚🤍💙💛
I have a beautiful Pomsky that is 7 months old and so far he’s 16 pounds. I’m hoping he gets bigger but just the usual but my kids are hoping he gets as big as a Husky. I’d love to share a picture with y’all.
No, Pomskies are absolutely not a good dog for a first-time dog owner that hasn't had dogs before. Especially because the first six months, when they're a puppy, are the hardest, when you wouldn't have any experience as an owner.
I have 4 pomskys, My oldest is two and a half and the pups are 3 months old, My adult is 30lbs give or take, and the pups are all around 20lbs, which is strange that they are this big at a young age
@@JamesandLaurentA question about beedi, does she become more lazy and less active during the hot summer months, my adult Pomsky does this and I was curious if beedi does
Hey if you don’t mind me asking, do you think puppyspot is a trustworthy site to adopt a puppy? I’ve been scammed once so I’m a bit nervous to adopt another puppy off of the web. I understand if you’re not really sure, I just want someone who has a dog to tell me :)
How much for they estimate for. I’m asking for future reference as for budgeting. I’m a 32 year old mom with 2 children. And I would like to know for budgeting purposes
Very hard question to answer. Food is only $1/day if they eat dry food but could be up to $2 or $3/day if they are picky and need wet food. But the treat and chew bone budget can be up to $5 or $10/day when they are puppies and need a lot of things to distracting them from getting into trouble. That budget should go down once they are adult. Then, the first year, you have all the shots, vet visits, spaying/neutering, which probably adds up to $2,000. The first year is not cheap :(
If you want 10 to 15 lbs, there is no small breed you can mix with a Husky and still get that small a size. You probably need a Pomsky that is 3/4 Pomeranian and 1/4 Husky.
We got Beedy from a breeder called Oxsana Perfect Pomsky. They are one of the oldest Pomsky breeders in the US. They only have four to six litters a year. We stand 100% behind them and couldn't have asked for a better Pomsky.
Please watch our video 'Is a Pomsky the right dog for you?' before you make any decision. They look adorable but are a tough dog to handle. Make sure you get one from a reputable breeder.
If you know the lineage (i.e. breed of the mom and breed of the dad), it's easy to do the math. If you don't know the lineage, the best way to know is to do a DNA test.
I'd like to have the Pomeranian genes to be dominant for my pomsky, but isn't it dangerous for female Pomeranians to carry pomsky litters due to their small size? Thanks
@@JamesandLaurentshe looks 100% Husky with 2 Blue eyes, a knack to yodel when she doesnt get her way and lately has learned a low key WOOF will her the attention she wants. Send me a way to reach ya & would be Happy to send y'all some Pics I am often asked if she's a Klee
I'M about to buy a mini Pomsky(boy) from Oxsana as well he is suppose to be in the 13 lbs. full grown, parents both 15 pounds let's see how we do when we get it this month
So Its with second generación pomskies that they have a more prominent gene either husky or pomeranian. One of my friends has a pomsky which i feel like Its second generación hers looks like 90% husky and i think Its the better look.
Not necessarily, some first generation Pomskies look more husky like. Others look more Pomernian like, even in the same litter. Same for 2nd generation. But the ones that are 75% Husky usually look more Husky. And by definition, those are 2nd generation.
@@JamesandLaurent woow, that’s great to know anyway I really I think my friend has a 75% husky because I see nothing of a Pomeranian in her dog. It is a gorgeous dog but you could think she was scammed and didn’t get a pomsky but a 100% syberian husky
If you mean in the litter, the breeder should know. By looking at the length of their snout, the size of their paws, the length of their hair. Anything that gives indication of whether they will be more Pomeranian or more Husky. But even then, it is never an exact science.
If you get them from a breeder, they are usually between $2,000 and $3,000. You can see pictures of them when they were just born and pick the one you like.
@@JamesandLaurent is it expensive to import a dog from one country to another? Your channel is a big help for someone like me whos curious about pomsky breed ❤️ thanks for sharing knowledge
@@JamesandLaurent I am guessing that he is somewhere between 75 husky/25 Pom but he looks a bit different because he's chubby. Allot of people think he's just husky or a pure malamute. He deff has the traits of a pom but the looks of a husky.

i have a pomski that will be 9 weeks tomorrow. Her name is Bella. She looks more husky than pom. She is so greedy. She is always very active.❤ She weighed 4.3 lbs @ 8 weeks. I can't wait to see how big she's going to be.
Keep us posted, but 4.3 lbs at 8 weeks is on the small side.
My Pomsky definitely inherited more Pomeranian. She is a fluffy girl at 20 pounds with blue eyes. Cutest little brat I’ve ever met
:)
The Pomsky pups are so cute. ❤❤❤❤
That's how they get ya :)
My teeny weeny Pomskakini is 15 pounds! Her name is Winter. She's the sweetest and the cutest unless you try to brush her...:)
Haha, Beedi doesn't like being brushed either.
Such an informative and well pit together video Pomeranians vary in size too. Ours is a 7 year old male and he weighs 11.25 lb 5.1KG I love his size.
Thanks :)
My little man just turned 1. We got him at 4lbs(he was the middle pup). He is currently sitting around 25lbs and looks so much like Theo. Even the little black tipped ear! It's like my dog was shrink rayed. Tho my pup has blue eyes.
Haha. He's a much bigger version of Theo then :)
The size variation in pomskies is pretty nuts. My pup Ashe is full grown and tops the charts at 12 pounds. Her mom was abt 25 pounds and her dad was abt 40 pounds
Yes, it's a wide spread :).
Great video. Thanks guys. Just want you guys to know my pomsky “opie” is a first generation pomsky. He’s big, 48lbs and lean too. Just be careful if you want a small/medium dog. “Opie” is a pomsky and classified as a large dog. He must have taken more genetics from the husky.
Thanks for sharing!! Genetics sometimes work in mysterious ways 😅.
My boy is 18 months now and sitting at 55lbs 😂
He’s an F1B (75% husky) and was only meant to be 40lbs max 😅
Our Pomsky who is a 1st gen 50/50 he's 40lbs at 1 year old..we got him from Alpha Pom and Pomsky in Ga
He's a big boy, but not out of the ordinary. What does he look like?
I’m so excited! I get my Pomsky on Friday!
Good luck :).
I'm so happy they ready my Fi , so beautiful she have 5 omg blue eyes !!!
We have 3 Pomskies. Gracie weights 34 lbs, Juliet weights 26 lbs, and Rex weights 15 lbs. (2 are full siblings and the smaller one is half sibling)
We have a hard enough time handling one :). Will you get a fourth one?
Another amazing Pomsky video
You are so kind. Thanks :)
I bred Pit Bulls for a long time and the bloodlines now are so skewed I fear they may go extinct. Hopefully this breed doesn't have the same result
Since Pomskies are not a real breed (yet), everything goes right now. Assuming Huskies and Pomeranians don't go extinct, there will always be a way to make more Pomskies :).
i love that you have graphs! great job. Also this means my rescue pomksy is going to be huge compared to my klee kai. Oh god.
Good luck!

Whenever they deviate far from 50/50, it's because one of the Pomskies was backbred at some point in the lineage. This is a video explaining Pomsky weight, not a genetics 101 video, in which case we would have been more selective with our wording 😇.
@@JamesandLaurent I think simplification is fine if that's the level of your main audience. However, there should be some acknowledgement that you're presenting a simplified view in the video, rather than presenting it as actual fact. Ultimately you're telling people that an F2 Pomsky is definitely going to be a 50/50 split, when we both know that a very wide range of possibilities can actually occur. In the worst case this misleading statement could lead to some people buying puppies that grow into dogs they can't handle.
Since you clearly have a lot of free time on your hand and seem to be very knowledgeable, you should use all that free time to make better videos than these two guys. Mankind would be grateful.
@@kylelaherty9747 Interesting suggestion Kyle, but it wouldn't be an efficient approach. I'm not a content creator and it takes a lot of time to establish a subscriber base with impact. For me the issue isn't important enough to justify that sort of time investment. It is important enough that I'm willing to spare 5mins to provide the content creators with constructive criticism though.
Your videos are so helpful!! There is a breeder within driving distance of me, but how can I be sure they are reputable? What should I check for? I hope to find one I can drive to, even if it’s far-ish.
Where are you located?
@@JamesandLaurent I am in southeast Michigan.
Our breeder Oxsana Perfect Pomsky is in mid-Illinois, next to St Louis. It might be a little bit of a drive from Detroit, but they are one of the oldest Pomsky breeders in the country and we highly recommend them. We didn't have to drive all the way over there. They met us halfway when we picked her up. But they also ship Pomskies cross country. You should check them out. BTW, you know that James is a Spartan and Laurent a Wolverine :)
Oh good! Thank you for the information. I will start following your breeder to try and catch a puppy in the spring. Mid-Illinois would be fine! My mom is from the Chicago area so I am familiar with the drive West. I am also a Spartan!!! I hope your household isn’t too contentious on game days!! 💚🤍💙💛
Haha, as you get older, those kind of things don't matter as much as when you just graduated :)
If you have genetics at school, you know it's the grandparents' genes, not the parent ones
As-in genes just skip a generation?
Well my pomskys parents were pomskies...
That makes him/her a 2nd generation Pomsky. How much does your Pomsky weigh vs. his/her parents?
@@JamesandLaurent 20-22 pounds and his parents 20-28
I really do not care how big they get or how heavy I STILL WANT ONE
Be careful what you wish for, regardless of the weight 😂😅😁.
I have a beautiful Pomsky that is 7 months old and so far he’s 16 pounds. I’m hoping he gets bigger but just the usual but my kids are hoping he gets as big as a Husky. I’d love to share a picture with y’all.
If you're on Instagram, feel free to share pictures that way. We'd love to see him. Our Instagram is james_and_laurent
Most people thought pomskies are way smaller than me and claim I am not a Pomsky...
Pomskies can be big too :)
Our dog was supposed to be a pomsky but he was a husky we still love him tho
We hope you didn't pay Pomsky prices :(.
A little less it was 1600
Good!
Hmm... James and Laurant huh? Sounds like a couple of Twilight fans😃
Been told about this before, but never watched any of them 😅.
Do you think pomskies would be good starter dogs? And can you recommend any cute starter dogs?
No, Pomskies are absolutely not a good dog for a first-time dog owner that hasn't had dogs before. Especially because the first six months, when they're a puppy, are the hardest, when you wouldn't have any experience as an owner.
@@JamesandLaurent thanks so much
You're very welcome. Best of luck!
I have 4 pomskys, My oldest is two and a half and the pups are 3 months old, My adult is 30lbs give or take, and the pups are all around 20lbs, which is strange that they are this big at a young age
They might be full huskies :)
@@JamesandLaurentYeah we are thinking that when they started getting big
@@JamesandLaurentA question about beedi, does she become more lazy and less active during the hot summer months, my adult Pomsky does this and I was curious if beedi does
Yes, anything beyond 80F and she slows down a lot.
Thank you good to know
Hey if you don’t mind me asking, do you think puppyspot is a trustworthy site to adopt a puppy? I’ve been scammed once so I’m a bit nervous to adopt another puppy off of the web. I understand if you’re not really sure, I just want someone who has a dog to tell me :)
Sorry we can't help. We're not familiar with this site.
@@JamesandLaurent that’s fine, thank you for replying though
Maybe someone else will read this comment thread and be able to weigh in.
How much for they estimate for. I’m asking for future reference as for budgeting. I’m a 32 year old mom with 2 children. And I would like to know for budgeting purposes
Very hard question to answer. Food is only $1/day if they eat dry food but could be up to $2 or $3/day if they are picky and need wet food. But the treat and chew bone budget can be up to $5 or $10/day when they are puppies and need a lot of things to distracting them from getting into trouble. That budget should go down once they are adult. Then, the first year, you have all the shots, vet visits, spaying/neutering, which probably adds up to $2,000. The first year is not cheap :(
Question. We just bought a female pomsky she's 8 lbs at 12 weeks old. What is her estimated adult weight?
Probably around 20 lbs. But you'll get a much better sense in a month. 12 weeks is still too early to tell for sure.
So if I wanted a smaller husky at a full grown size, so about (10-15 pounds) what would I need to breed?
If you want 10 to 15 lbs, there is no small breed you can mix with a Husky and still get that small a size. You probably need a Pomsky that is 3/4 Pomeranian and 1/4 Husky.
do you guys happen to know any trusted pomsky breeders in the United States?
We got Beedy from a breeder called Oxsana Perfect Pomsky. They are one of the oldest Pomsky breeders in the US. They only have four to six litters a year. We stand 100% behind them and couldn't have asked for a better Pomsky.
@@JamesandLaurent thank you so much, this is very useful, I've always thought pomskies were so adorable and have been thinking about getting one!
Please watch our video 'Is a Pomsky the right dog for you?' before you make any decision. They look adorable but are a tough dog to handle. Make sure you get one from a reputable breeder.
How do u tell the percentage
If you know the lineage (i.e. breed of the mom and breed of the dad), it's easy to do the math. If you don't know the lineage, the best way to know is to do a DNA test.
I'd like to have the Pomeranian genes to be dominant for my pomsky, but isn't it dangerous for female Pomeranians to carry pomsky litters due to their small size? Thanks
Yes, you're supposed to have the female be from the larger of the two breeds and the male from the smaller breed.
The Pomerat is far superior. Obviously I am extremely biased.😂😂😂
We ike our Pomsky better 😂😂😂.
My Koda girl is 11inches tall and 10.2 lbs at 18 months old a 2nd Gen Pomsky
She's on the small side then, but not out of the norm. What does she look like?
@@JamesandLaurentshe looks 100% Husky with 2 Blue eyes, a knack to yodel when she doesnt get her way and lately has learned a low key WOOF will her the attention she wants. Send me a way to reach ya & would be Happy to send y'all some Pics I am often asked if she's a Klee
Our email address can be found in our channel description.
Cute
Thanks :)
How expensive were the Pomskies from Oxsana?
They are typical price for a Pomsky, between $2,000 and $3,000, depending on color and eye color.
I got a “malamute” but I swear she looks more like a husky/ Pomeranian
They sometimes do :)
I'm so happy im at san diego ca yuppy
I was told my Pomsky is an F2. The parents were an F2 and F4.. I’m like huh?!
That's why we never use these terms in our videos. They add more confusion than anything else.
@@JamesandLaurent awesome point! From all that I’ve seen and read it’s a lot easier to just say the lineage snd let people draw their own conclusions.
Absolutely :)
I'M about to buy a mini Pomsky(boy) from Oxsana as well he is suppose to be in the 13 lbs. full grown, parents both 15 pounds let's see how we do when we get it this month
Is he one of the Beatles litter?
@@JamesandLaurent his parents are Halo and keno
We don't know these ones. But we have been 100% happy with Oxsana.
@@JamesandLaurent yeah so far so good
👍
Your dog looks like a Alaskan Klee Kai
To some extent, she does. She's a little bit sturdier than a klee kai though :).
@@JamesandLaurent what do you think if mixing Klee Kai with Pomeranian?
We don't know enough about Klee Kais to have an opinion one way or another. Sorry :(
I have a Pomsky (who's more Husky than Pomeranian)
Who has grown to be like 3-4 feet.
Wow! Beedi has short stubby legs 😂😅😂.
So Its with second generación pomskies that they have a more prominent gene either husky or pomeranian.
One of my friends has a pomsky which i feel like Its second generación
hers looks like 90% husky and i think Its the better look.
Not necessarily, some first generation Pomskies look more husky like. Others look more Pomernian like, even in the same litter. Same for 2nd generation. But the ones that are 75% Husky usually look more Husky. And by definition, those are 2nd generation.
@@JamesandLaurent woow, that’s great to know anyway I really I think my friend has a 75% husky because I see nothing of a Pomeranian in her dog. It is a gorgeous dog but you could think she was scammed and didn’t get a pomsky but a 100% syberian husky
My baby went up to x2.5 of her 8 weeks weight at 4 months haha weighs 6.3kg now (13.9 lbs).. I’m scared
It sounds like she'll be 12 or 13 kg when it's all said and done. Keep us posted :)
How do you know the smallest pomsky in the breed
If you mean in the litter, the breeder should know. By looking at the length of their snout, the size of their paws, the length of their hair. Anything that gives indication of whether they will be more Pomeranian or more Husky. But even then, it is never an exact science.
Churro bites 😂😂😂
You should try them :)
I just got a Pomsky he is 10 weeks and weighs 10 lbs how big do u think he will get.
Probably 30 to 40 lbs. But you'll get a much better sense in a month. Do you know if he's half and half?
@@JamesandLaurent I’m pretty sure he is half and half
Then 30 to 40 lbs is on the higher side, but not unusual for a male.
We have two female pomskys they are half sisters, one is forty pounds the other is twenty pounds.
Do you know anything about the two different dads?
❤jr I think it was just
?
I have always wanted to know how big they are before I get on e
It is hard to tell because they are all over the place :)
What are the specs of that tings
We are so old we don't understand your question :).
Use the metric system
Most of our viewers are in the US 😅.
7:19 I want dat one
That is actually Beedi (i.e. our Pomsky) when she was a puppy 😂😅😂.
I’d like a 15 pound Pomeranian
It's on the high side, but they do exist :)
My puppy's dad is a pomsky and mother a shi-beagle (Shiba Inu Beagle) could I pass her off as a Pomsky? She has blue eyes lol 😂
A lot of people pass a lot of dogs as Pomskies. You can try 😂😅.
my pomsky is 58 lbs XD
Wow! Big boy! Is he 75% Husky?
Can I have the link for the Pomsky treat puzzle with bones on Amazon please?
We have a whole video about different dog puzzles th-cam.com/video/Jx9KTLQ9jFY/w-d-xo.html
4:00
?!?!?
My pomsky is 6 months old just reached 35 pounds !! Vet say she might get to 40-60 o.0 ahah science might of failed me :p
Most definitely :)
@@JamesandLaurent i will send u guys pictures on email if u want some baby pictures video of her , and some most recent :) for your videos :p
Please do. FYI, we generally prefer videos over still pictures. But we also need pictures at times.
@@JamesandLaurent sent right now
do u have a facebook where i can send the video ! having trouble to send them on email
Where can I good looking pomsky?
If you get them from a breeder, they are usually between $2,000 and $3,000. You can see pictures of them when they were just born and pick the one you like.
@@JamesandLaurent is it expensive to import a dog from one country to another? Your channel is a big help for someone like me whos curious about pomsky breed ❤️ thanks for sharing knowledge
We don't know the answer to that question, unfortunately :(.
@@JamesandLaurent thank you so much James and Laurent appreciate the response ❤️
mines is 60-69 lbs ! lmaooo
Wow! Big boy! Is he 50/50 or 75/25?
@@JamesandLaurent I am guessing that he is somewhere between 75 husky/25 Pom but he looks a bit different because he's chubby. Allot of people think he's just husky or a pure malamute. He deff has the traits of a pom but the looks of a husky.
Makes sense. North of 60 lbs would be huge for a 50/50.
My “pomsky” is 45 pounds but he is not obese, more likena bit chubby
If he's more Husky, 45 lbs is perfectly normal :)
Hi New Subcriber Here! Iam also a Dog content creator, hoping to get

8:50 I've never seen a husky do that Must be a POM thing
Not sure. We've never seen a Pomeranian do that either 😜😜😜. Do you have a Husky?
