Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

ChallengeA Síndrome do "Cão Pequeno" com Impulso de "Cão Grande"

Os Pomskys frequentemente herdam o alerta de "cão de guarda" do Pomeranian combinado com o intenso instinto de presa e independência do Husky. Isso pode manifestar-se como um cão que está hiperalerta a estímulos, propenso a "ladrar" para os vizinhos, mas poderoso o suficiente para destruir móveis se subestimulado.

ChallengeAnsiedade de Separação e Vocalização

Ambas as raças parentais são orientadas para a matilha (Huskys) ou para o companheiro (Poms). Sozinhos, os Pomskys são conhecidos pela sua grave ansiedade de separação. Não são sofrredores silenciosos; expressam angústia através do "grito" Husky, uivos e mastigação destrutiva.

ChallengeA Teimosia do "Spitz"

Esta raça obtém pontuações baixas em obediência. Frequentemente recusam comandos a menos que haja um incentivo claro e de alto valor ("O que ganho com isso?"). Não são tão ansiosos para agradar como um Golden Retriever.

ChallengeArtista da Fuga

Herdando o instinto de vagabundagem e a capacidade de escavar do Husky, os Pomskys são conhecidos por escalar vedações, escavar sob barreiras e disparar por portas abertas. O seu recall é notoriamente não fiável.
