FAQ
How much do your puppies cost?
Our 50/50 Pomskies range from 2000-4500 depending on eye color, markings, size, and coat quality. When we have 2nd generation Pomskies which will be 25/75, meaning 75% Pomeranian the price could go as high as 5000. We do not guarantee we will have the whole range of prices. It is simply determined by how the litter turns out.
What does the cost of a puppy include?
All of our puppies will be up to date on vaccinations and worming when they go to their new homes. Puppies will have a health examination by a licensed veterinarian and have a 2 year genetic health guarantee. They will come with a NCP Puppy Birth Certificate. We also provide a puppy starter pack which includes a comfort blanket with mother and litter mate's scent, a 5lb bag of Taste of the Wild puppy food, and various other goodies. Those flying to their new homes will come with an airline approved travel kennel and comfort blanket, but will not include the 5lb bag of puppy food just for space and weight considerations.
How do I get on your waiting list?
We no longer hold a waiting list. Please sign up for our newsletter if you would like an email notification as to when we are accepting applications. Also be sure to read over our "How To Apply For a Puppy" page for full details.
Can you ship a puppy to me?
We do not ship our puppies via cargo. However we are happy to meet you at the Sacramento Airport if you need to fly in. We provide an airline approved crate that will fit right under the seat in cabin, its very easy. On a limited basis we can arrange to fly the puppy to your local airport, the puppy travels with us in cabin, this available for an extra $500 fee. We also often deliver within CA for no additional fee on a limited schedule to southern Ca and the Bay Area, please let us know if you are interested in delivery upon applying.
Why do your puppies cost so much?
Our puppy's prices reflect their quality and value. Pomskies, although somewhat easier to come across these days, quality is still rather rare. They are notoriously difficult to produce and this has led some less than reputable breeders to cut corners. Its not uncommon to hear of breeders using an American Eskimo in place of a Pomeranian stud, and yet they still identify them as pomskies. The reason for this is that they can breed a Husky with an American Eskimo naturally. This can result in very cute puppies that are easy to sell, but they grow into much larger dogs and have very different temperaments. They are not Pomskies. Still others will breed dogs that are neither papered, nor DNA verified. They obtain their breeding stock for the minimum cost possible, have no regard for temperament, lineage or improving their breeding program. You can guess why these people are breeding (hint: $$$). The right knowledge and experience is required to really make a pomsky breeding program work, along with a sizable investment. I encourage you to ask yourself what you consider a good price for a purebred dog. Most well bred dogs don't go below $1000 - $1200 and some even go for well above $3000. If you consider that, along with the fact that it takes a lot of extra effort to produce both a real and quality Pomsky puppy, it shouldn't be too hard to understand the price. Also, due to the high demand and short supply of Pomskies the prices are set appropriately to ensure the best homes at this time. Again if something seems to good to be true, it's probably a scam. A "deal" on a Pomsky is no deal at all.
Aren't Pomskies just mutts?
For anyone who considers a Pomsky a "mutt" I will assure you that my dams and sires are purebred dogs and this is an intentional breeding, resulting in a hybrid dog. Due to the fact that this is a carefully thought out endeavor, all lines are being DNA tracked with the purpose of developing a new breed, I DO NOT consider my puppies "mutts". Where do you think all the purebred dogs came from? Granted many have been around for a LONG time, but breeds come from people intentionally breeding different dogs together for specific traits. Consider AKC, you are not allowed to present a breed for recognition before the breed actually exists, in numbers, and with established pedigrees and a written standard, this is all part of development, it has to start somewhere. New breeds are recognized by the AKC every year, now many of those breeds are 100s if not 1000s of years old, but were they "mutts" before they were recognized? Pomskies are in their infancy, but if 100 years from now they are recognized by the AKC I will be proud to have been a Pomsky pioneer.
How big will my Pomsky get?
We cannot guarantee size. With Pomskies there is always a chance for a throwback, so we can have pups well under or over the expected weight range, but from what we've seen the average 50/50 is about 15-25lbs and a 25/75 is about 10-15lbs. Also see our "All About Pomskies" section for more details about Pomskies.
Do Pomskies have health problems?
So far there has not been any apparent health problems, but this is a new hybrid and we still have a lot to learn. We do provide a 2 year genetic health guarantee and ask for an update every 6 months for this 2 year period for all of our puppies so that if any health issues were to arise we will know and be able to address it.
Where are you located?
We are in Palermo CA, just south of lake Oroville and about 30 minutes outside Chico, Ca.
Can I call you?
I do talk to clients over the phone, but only those who have had their application selected. I know this must be frustrating, but we simply don't have the resources to speak to everyone who is interested personally.
Can I visit?
To ensure the health and safety of our dogs and puppies we do not allow home visits prior to pick up. We do our utmost to prevent any undue stress or outside contaminants as puppies are very vulnerable before the completion of their vaccination schedule. Due to on going renovation of our property, puppy nursery and play yards, all home visits will not be allowed until further notice. We realize the importance that is often placed on home visits when selecting a breeder and if this is something you require in your breeder selection process we encourage you to wait for future litters from us when we will be able to accommodate home visits or find another reputable breeder that can do so now.
Do Pomskies shed?
Pomsky coats are typically somewhere between a husky coat and a pomeranian coat. They are soft and fluffy but have a silky quality that most Pomeranian coats lack. Most of the dead hairs will sit on the coat until you brush them out so shedding is not a big issue with regular brushing. They do however blow their coats in the summer time which can result in heavy shedding, but if around this time you brush them daily you can keep up on it without a problem. Also see our "All About Pomskies" section for more details.
What are the temperaments of Pomskies like?
Pomsky personalities will vary, but they all have some Pomeranian traits and some Husky traits. They are smart and easy to train. They typically will howl like huskies, but only on occasion. They are much more focused on their human family and less independent than your typical husky, but do not always have to be underfoot like your typical Pomeranian. They can be escape artists like huskies, but do not wander to the same degree. You will want a secure yard with a fence, as they are very active, but can get a good workout in a decent sized yard. They make great running buddies. They are GREAT with kids! All the love and playfulness of a husky without the weight to knock little ones off their feet.
How do you breed a Husky with a Pomeranian?
All of our 1st generation pairings are done with a Husky female and a Pomeranian male. We do not do natural breeding as it would be ineffective and dangerous. It is all done through artificial insemination. We have done extensive research and use a local canine reproductive facility for testing and quality assurance to assure the safety of our dogs and the best possible chance of pregnancy.
What if we want to breed our Pomsky?
All of our puppies are sold on a strict spay/neuter agreement unless you are approved to buy a puppy on a breeder contract. We currently are only selling breeding rights to breeders who we have a trusted relationship with. A breeder will pay an additional $1000 for breeding rights and we do a puppy back agreement where we get 2nd pick from your first litter. For all other pet Pomskies, we require proof of spay/neuter by 1 year old. Any health issue delaying the procedure will need to be proved by a licensed veterinarian. If proof of spay/neuter is not provided you would be in breech of contract and
can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
How can I find a reputable breeder if you have no puppies available?
We have planned litters throughout the year and although we do have a high demand for our puppies, we try to work with people who have been waiting and stay in touch. Of course we understand that we may not be able to provide a puppy to everyone who is patiently waiting within a timely manner, sometimes breedings fail, sometimes we have a small litter, or sometimes there are just too many qualified homes to choose from. Please look at the "Finding a reputable breeder" section of our website to assist you in selecting a breeder. Yes, most quality breeders have a high demand and it still may take some time to find your perfect puppy, but please be patient and don't settle for a less than reputable breeder.
