The Pomsky dog breed is relatively new and has only been around for 2 decades. He is a Spitz-type dog breed that is a cross between the Pomeranian and the Siberian Husky. The charming Pomsky’s popularity shot off thanks to a 2011 Buzzfeed article. It was titled ‘The Pomeranian + Siberian Husky mix: The cutest designer dog breed ever?’ This small designer dog breed was still non-existent around this time. The article used photos of other Pomeranian Husky mixed breeds. A photo of Tequila, a Finnish Lapphund that was photographed by Tommie Ohlson, was even included in the article. Many dog lovers fell in love with the Pomsky breed, although he didn’t exist yet. However, between the years 2011 and 2012, the first Pomsky litter was produced through artificial insemination. They were bred to be the ultimate lapdogs. What made Pomskies rare and expensive is the big size difference of the parent breeds, so artificial insemination is necessary to prevent complications. To understand more about the Pomsky dog breed, we must take a look at his parent breed’s origins. The Husky is thought to be created by the Chukchi, a Siberian nomad tribe that existed thousands of years ago. This means he is one of the most ancient dog breeds in the world. The breed was mainly used as a transport dog. At home, the Husky would sleep with children and keep them warm against the chilly temperature. He was then brought to Alaska in 1908 as the people needed sled dogs during the gold rush. In 1925, the breed made a mark in history as Huskies Balto and Togo successfully led a group of sled dogs to Nome, Alaska, and delivered the diphtheria serum. The origins of the other parent breed, the Pomeranian, started in the Province of Pomerania. This small breed is a descendant of Spitz-type dogs and a cousin of the American Eskimo Dog, the German Spitz, and the Samoyed. The ancestors of the modern Pomeranian were huge dogs. A smaller variation of the breed emerged and became popular through the efforts of Queen Victoria. The breed was standardised from 1900 to the 1930s, which made them retain their small size. Although the Pomsky dog breed is relatively new, America and Canada have established breed clubs. In fact, the Pomsky Club of America is one of the most active groups pushing for the breed to be officially recognised.
