Pomsky: the perfect mix of Husky and Pomeranian
The Pomsky is a little ball of fluff with the eyes of a wolf and a tender heart. Resulting from the cross between a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian, it combines the wild beauty of the former with the endearing sweetness of the latter.
A recent breed, the Pomsky has conquered the whole world thanks to its irresistible appearance and joyful temperament. But beware: behind its teddy-bear looks hides a bright and intelligent dog, which requires real training and an attentive owner.
