The Pomsky looks like a Husky that stayed a puppy forever. Because of the size difference between the parents, these dogs vary in appearance, but most have the "Husky mask" on their face with the fluffy, plumed tail of a Pomeranian. They are pint-sized explorers with big personalities. Their thick, double coats make them look like little clouds walking on a leash, and they are guaranteed to start conversations wherever they go.

If you want a dog that looks like a wolf but has the heart of a protector, the Shepsky is it. This mix often inherits the piercing blue eyes of the Husky and the tall, regal ears of the German Shepherd. Their coats are thick and dual-toned, usually a mix of black, tan, and white. They are striking animals, but they require a lot of grooming and even more exercise to keep their "inner wolf" happy.
This mix is often called a "designer breed" because of its striking coat. By crossing the brilliant mind of a Poodle with the work ethic of an Australian Shepherd, you get a dog that is both athletic and incredibly soft. Their coats often feature "merle" patterns (splashes of blue, gray, and black) paired with the curly texture of a Poodle. They look like living teddy bears, but don't be fooled; they are high-energy athletes who need a job to do.
