What made you decide to get a Pomsky?
My boyfriend and I didn’t have a specific dog breed in mind when we decided we wanted to add to our household. We started to look online and at local shelters for the right fit! My boyfriend has never had a dog and has always dreamed of having a husky, however living in a condo it wouldn’t be very easy. After months of looking we came across Duke, and yes his name was Duke when we found him. We were sold right then because the breed was perfect for us and my boyfriend(Minnesota Timberwolves Tyus Jones) played basketball at Duke, it was fate.

What’s the funniest story you have about your Pomsky?
The funniest story I have of Duke is when he got a little over brave and tried to go down our carpet covered stairs and instead just slid down the whole staircase paws first. Now that’s how he loves to go down!

What makes your Pomsky so great?
My baby Duke is amazing, he is so nice to everyone he meets, dogs, humans, and other animals! He’s the biggest cuddler and loves to give kisses! He is such a sweet boy and loves his mom and dad more than anything. His blue eyes make him irresistible!

What’s one dog product you couldn’t live without?
He loves bully sticks and especially bully rings. He can’t get enough! They keep him occupied and last for so long, he is so happy when he gets a new one!

What’s your best advice for someone who’s considering getting a Pomsky?
I would say make sure you do your research on the breeder and past litters. Make sure you know about the coat up keep and just like with any puppy you need to have enough time to dedicate to training and loving him.
