In the modern dog breeding world of designer dogs the pomsky stands out as one of the cutest examples of designer dogs. Pomsky is the product of the conscious cross breeding of the Siberian husky with the Pomeranian in what is known as a designer dog.

Like all designer dogs, pomskies are bred from known purebreds which is the Siberian husky and the Pomeranian compared with mutt that is also a cross breed but of unknown parent breeds (they may not even be purebreds).

Because designer dogs like Pomeranian husky mix are of known parent breeds they are still easily to handle since they can only bear traits of the parent breed in any combination. They are however not anywhere close to purebred.

Purebreds such as the Siberian husky and Pomeranian are highly desirable because they have been bred over a very long time during which specific traits and characteristics have been infused into them.

This mean that when someone purchases a purebred he/she can easily access a documentation of traits and characteristics of the purebred, what to expect of the breed, how to handle the breed and much more.

In fact one can end up owing a purebred by just listing the traits that is desired and then searching for a breed that either matches these traits or come very close to it.

This however is impossible with designer dogs because each pup within a litter can have traits that are completely different from any other pup in the litter since their traits are determined by a combination of the traits of the parent breeds. Some will have traits that tend more towards a particular parent breed while some may have fairly balanced traits from both parent breeds.

So a particular husky Pomeranian mix which a cross of the Pomeranian and the Siberian husky will bear traits that is one of 3 possibilities: more husky, or more Pomeranian or simply fairly balanced traits of both the husky and the Pomeranian.
