The White Pomsky

White is an accepted colour in the Pomsky. The Pomsky comes from a cross between a Pomeranian and a Husky in the first generation. In the second generation, the Pomsky comes directly from a pairing of two F1 Pomskies, and in the third generation, the F3 Pomsky comes from a pairing of two F2 Pomskies, also known as second-generation dogs.

The Pomsky is fascinating precisely because of its diversity: weight (from 4 to 16 kg), build, coat length (Standard, Fluffy, Wooly), eye colour (odd-eyed, parti-coloured, blue, brown, green, amber), generation (F1, F2, F3, F4) and coat colour (fox red, white, grey and white, black and white, red and white, and more).

White is a coat colour found in the Husky but also in the Pomeranian, so it is perfectly normal to find it in the Pomsky. A white Pomsky’s eyes can be brown or blue. Unlike the Husky, which often has blue eyes, the Pomeranian has brown ones. A white Pomsky with blue eyes will therefore have inherited them from the Husky side.

A white Pomsky can have short hair, in which case its coat is called standard, or long hair, in which case it is called Fluffy.

As with every Pomsky, adult size is hard to predict. The F1, F2, F3 and F4 generations have nothing to do with how big your future Pomsky will be. Three things influence your Pomsky’s size: the size of the parents, the lines the breeder has selected, and the percentage of Husky present in the genes. It is therefore important to talk things through properly with your breeder so that you get a puppy whose build matches what you are expecting.

Several breeders in France and in the United States offer white Pomsky puppies. Prices for an all-white puppy are slightly lower than for one with a blaze.
