A cross between the Pomeranian and the Siberian Husky, the Pomsky is a relatively new breed, first created via artificial insemination in 2012 to make the charming and hilarious Siberian Husky smaller. Pomskys can inherit traits of both breeds, but overall they are happy-go-lucky, easygoing dogs, albeit ones with a stubborn streak. They tend to bond with one person but can thrive in family life if trained properly.
