✨ Discovering Family Connections Through Embark DNA ✨

Ever wondered if your dog has hidden family ties? At Infinite Hearts, we recently discovered something truly amazing: three of our beloved pups—Pepe, Penny, and Jolene—are actually cousins! And our newest sanctuary dog, Lucky, is distantly related to Jolene. 🐾

Thanks to Embark DNA (which we chose to affiliate with because we love their tests!), we’ve uncovered some fascinating connections among our dogs that span states, generations, and breeds. Each of our pups has been tested through Embark, and it’s always exciting to dive into their unique genetic stories.

🧬 Our Doggie Family Tree 🧬 Embark DNA offers so much more than just breed info—it connects dogs with potential relatives too. When we tested Pepe, Penny, and Jolene, we found they share a common ancestor! And with Lucky’s recent test, we learned he has a distant genetic link to Jolene, adding to the love and connection among our sanctuary pups.

🐶 Meet the Pack:

Pepe: A 3-year-old Pomsky with blue Merle fur, cousin to Penny and Jolene, and our resident cuddle bug.

Penny: Our 3.5-year-old Pom-Chi-Poo-Super Mutt and the heart of Infinite Hearts, who’s also family to Pepe and Jolene.

Jolene: A 6-month-old Great Dane with blue Merle fur, linked to Pepe and Penny and now distantly related to Lucky!

Lucky: A mix of Pitbull, Bully, and American Staffordshire Terrier with brindle spots, who shares a 3% genetic connection with Jolene, making him a distant cousin!

💡 How Common Are Doggie Family Ties? While it’s rare, it’s not impossible for dogs from different states and ages to have distant family ties. Here’s why:

National Breeding Networks: Many breeders are part of larger networks that connect dogs across states, so distant relatives can end up in far-apart regions.

Ancestral Lineage: Dogs have deep ancestry, just like us, and shared lineage markers can reveal connections many generations back.

Genetic Traits: Certain coat patterns, like Jolene and Pepe’s blue Merle and Lucky’s brindle spots, are genetic markers that sometimes show up in distant relatives.

Why We Love Embark DNA 🧬 We’re thrilled to be an Embark affiliate because we genuinely love how their testing gives us a closer look at our dogs’ unique backgrounds. It’s not just about breed identification; it’s about uncovering the connections that make each dog truly special. If you’re curious about your own dog’s family tree, health markers, or breed traits, we highly recommend trying Embark. 🐕💕

✨ Family connections are everywhere, even in the most unexpected places! We’re grateful for each discovery that brings us closer to our dogs and the journey we’re on together at Infinite Hearts. 🌈

Nous continuons ces jolies présentations avec la seconde femelle de cette portée. Cette fifille aime les câlins, elle est plutôt calme dans l'ensemble mais joueuse aussi. Elle se rebelle quand un autre chiot prend le dessus, elle ne se laisse pas faire 😉🥰. Elle a les deux yeux bleus aussi. #pomskyf3 #pomskyperfection #pomskylove #elevagelovelypomsky #pomskylife #pomskynation😬💘🐶 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDBP-foKr6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pomsky Guide: Everything You Need to Know About This Adorable Breed

The Pomsky is a hybrid breed, a cross between a Pomeranian and a Siberian Husky, cherished for its stunning looks and affectionate nature. This guide explores every aspect of the Pomsky, from appearance and personality to care and costs.

Appearance and Size

Pomskies inherit features from both parent breeds, creating a strikingly beautiful dog. Their size can vary depending on the dominance of either parent's genes.

Height: Typically 8-15 inches tall at the shoulder.

Weight: Between 5-30 pounds

Pomsky Sizes:

Toy Pomsky: Under 10 inches tall and weighs 5-9 pounds.

Mini Pomsky: Around 10-15 inches tall, weighing 10-20 pounds.

Standard Pomsky: 15 inches or taller, weighing 20-30 pounds or more.

Coat and Color Variations

Their double coat is soft and fluffy, and the coat can be black, white, gray, brown, red, or a mix of these colors. The eyes can be strikingly blue, brown, green, or even bi-colored.

Temperament and Personality

Pomskies are lively, intelligent, and affectionate dogs that form strong bonds with their families. They are known for their playful and sometimes mischievous nature.

Socialization: Early socialization is vital to help them become confident and well-behaved.

Good Family Dog: Yes, they thrive on attention and love being part of family activities.

Good with Children: Generally good, but supervision is recommended with younger children due to their small size.

Good with Strangers: They can be reserved or wary, making socialization important.

Good with Other Pets: Typically good with cats and other dogs if introduced properly.

Guard Dog: Not ideal, as they lack the size and temperament of a traditional guard dog, though they may alert bark.

Living Conditions

Apartment-Friendly: Yes, as long as they receive sufficient exercise.

Exercise Needs: Moderate. Daily walks and playtime are sufficient to keep them happy and healthy.

Grooming and Shedding

Pomskies are moderate to heavy shedders due to their double coat. Regular grooming is essential to keep their coat in top condition. (Do not ever shave a pomsky's hair)

Brushing: Brush 2-3 times a week to manage shedding and prevent matting.

Bathing: Once a month or as needed.

Nail Care: Trim nails every 3-4 weeks.

Dental Care: Regular brushing to maintain oral health.

Health and Lifespan

Pomskies are generally healthy but can inherit health issues from their parent breeds.

Lifespan: 12-15 years.

Common Health Issues:

Hip dysplasia

Eye conditions (e.g., cataracts)

Dental issues

Allergies

Collapsing trachea

Regular vet checkups and a healthy diet are crucial for preventing and managing these conditions.

Feeding and Nutrition

Diet: High-quality dog food tailored to their size, age, and activity level.

Feeding Schedule: 2-3 meals per day.

Avoid Overfeeding: Pomskies are prone to obesity if overfed or under-exercised.

Barking

Pomskies are known to be vocal, often inheriting the talkative nature of their Husky parent. Training can help manage excessive barking.

Training

Pomskies are intelligent and eager to learn but may also inherit a stubborn streak.

Methods: Positive reinforcement works best. Food oriented.

Socialization: Start early with exposure to various people, pets, and environments.

Commands: Focus on basic obedience and behavioral training to curb undesirable habits like barking or chewing.

Breeding and Puppies

Litter Size: Typically 4-6 puppies per litter.

Breeding Considerations: Responsible breeding practices are essential to ensure healthy puppies. Consult with a vet for advice on genetic testing and care for the mother.

Costs

Initial Purchase Price: $1,000-$5,000, depending on the breeder and lineage.

Monthly Costs: $100-$200 for food, grooming, and healthcare.

Additional Expenses: Training, toys, and emergency vet bills.

Final Thoughts

Pomskies are delightful companions, combining the charm of the Pomeranian and the energy of the Husky. With proper care, training, and love, they make excellent family pets. However, prospective owners should consider their grooming needs, energy levels, and costs before bringing one home.

If you’re ready to welcome a Pomsky into your life, you’ll find a loyal and affectionate friend in this unique hybrid breed.

TANUKI una Pomsky de casi 2 años y CHILLY una Bulldog Frances de 5 meses del Club Psicolmascot, que están pasando las Navidades, Fin de año y año Nuevo en mi casa, celebrando las fiestas juntos en un ambiente muy navideño y acogedor. Claro que TANUKI es muy espacial para mi, pues la conozco desde cachorrita y CHILLY es una cachorrita adorable muy amiga de TANUKI. Sus propietarios no están en Madrid, así que están pasando estos días tan especiales en mi casa. Celebraremos las campanadas del Año Nuevo 2022 comiendo 12 golosinas para perros y agua mineral Voss para TANUKI y CHILLY y 12 uvas y champagne para nosotros. FELIZ AÑO NUEVO 2022..!!
