My breeding program focuses on F1B Pomskies because this generation offers a higher likelihood of naturally smaller adult size, improved consistency, and a greater chance of blue or parti-coloured eyes, while still maintaining strong structure and overall health. Genetically, this is achieved by pairing an F1 Pomsky with a carefully selected Pomeranian, reinforcing desirable traits without compromising wellbeing. I intentionally retained Freya, an F1 Pomsky, not because she was the smallest in her litter, but because she was the strongest, most confident, and most robust. She showed natural leadership, resilience, and balance from an early age. Selecting breeding dogs purely based on being the smallest often results in fragility and long-term health issues — a practice I do not support and actively avoid. This philosophy extends to my choice of Pomeranians. I do not use exaggerated “bear-type” toy Pomeranians bred for extreme features. Instead, I work exclusively with traditional, fox-faced Pomeranians — dogs with longer legs, sharper features, stronger bone structure, and clearer minds. These original-type Pomeranians are almost extinct in South Africa and exceptionally difficult to source responsibly. Oscar and Luca, my original Pomeranian sires, and Verdi, my current sire, are rare examples of this old-type lineage — true diamonds in the dust. These dogs represent what Pomeranians were always meant to be: athletic, healthy, intelligent, balanced, and naturally elegant. In canine terms, they are royalty, not trends. A well-bred Pomsky should be confident, capable, and structurally sound, not simply small or exaggerated. Size and eye colour are considered bonuses, never goals. When strength, temperament, and genetics are respected, beauty follows naturally. In the same way, great care was taken in selecting my original Siberian Huskies. They came from bloodlines known for a naturally smaller, leaner build, finer bone structure, and more refined features than the heavier, bulkier Husky types often seen. This was a deliberate choice. In canine genetics, family traits matter — dogs tend to reproduce what they consistently come from. A lineage of oversized, heavy-boned dogs will almost always produce the same, while a lineage known for balance, athleticism, and refinement is more likely to pass those traits on. Breeding is about understanding patterns, structure, and inheritance, not chance. Just as physical traits tend to run in families, so do size, proportions, and movement. By starting with Huskies already on the naturally smaller and more refined end of the spectrum, I laid a foundation for Pomskies that are healthy, athletic, well-proportioned, and true to type — without forcing size reduction through unhealthy means. Thoughtful breeding is not about extremes. It is about stacking the odds responsibly, respecting genetics, and allowing nature to do what it does best when given the right starting point.  The rest is in the hands of God.
