Meaning and background

The story behind Pomsky

Pomsky is a deliberately formed name for a type of dog developed through crosses involving Pomeranians and Siberian Huskies. Its blended sound reflects those two breed names, and a specialist club describes ongoing attempts to standardise the type. It should not be presented as proof that every dog so named has a particular pedigree, size or coat. Unlike many entries here, its animal connection is intrinsic to the term itself.
