Adult Pomsky Size

The size of an adult Pomsky varies a great deal, and many factors come into play. For a start, some Pomskies have several breeds in their DNA, not just Husky and Pomeranian.

Assuming your Pomsky is a 50/50 cross — that is, first generation, with 50% Husky and 50% Pomeranian in its DNA — you can expect your adult Pomsky to measure roughly 25 to 40 cm and to weigh between 9 and 14 kg.

Pomsky height

When we talk about a Pomsky’s size, we measure height at the withers, that is, from the ground to the shoulders (the point where the neck meets the spine). Height at the withers will generally be between 25 and 40 cm for a first-generation Pomsky. That said, it depends heavily on the size of the parents chosen for the pairing. Good selection means the breeder starts with a Husky and a Pomeranian of modest build.

Pomsky weight

An adult Pomsky usually weighs between 9 and 14 kg but, once again, that depends on the weight of the parents and on the breeder’s selection. A female Siberian Husky normally weighs between 15 and 23 kg. A Pomeranian weighs between 1.3 and 3 kg. That combination gives us an average of 9 to 14 kg.

We cannot guarantee a Pomsky’s size; as we said above, everything depends on the size of the parents and on the breeds crossed. So it is entirely possible for your Pomsky to end up above or below the averages.

Generation and your Pomsky’s weight

Your Pomsky’s generation can also play a role and influence its size. A first-generation Pomsky comes from a Husky parent and a Pomeranian parent, and so will fall within the average weight and height figures given above.

Things get more complicated with second- and third-generation Pomskies, called F2 and F3. Many prospective owners believe that the further along the generations you go, the smaller the Pomsky will be. That is not accurate: it all depends on the lines and on the breeder’s selection. If a breeder has chosen to keep large F1s at the upper end of the average — two 14 kg F1 Pomskies, say — then the F2 puppies may in turn reach weights of around 14 kg. So it is important to find out about the parents’ weight and about the selection the breeder has made. Not everyone is trying to produce a 3 kg Pomsky. A Pomsky’s beauty and worth do not depend on its size in any case.

Do be wary of scams, though. Your Pomsky should not be the size of a Husky, nor should it be the victim of extreme selection aimed at reaching Pomeranian proportions. Your future companion’s health and temperament must come before any target height or weight.
