Many people want to know what is the difference between an F1, F2, F1B or F1X?
F1 – First generation Pomsky
The mother is a Siberian Husky and the father is a Pomeranian. As you can imagine, this is only made possible utilizing artificial insemination.
F2 – Second generation Pomsky
Both parents are F1 Pomskies (grandmothers are Siberian Husky and grandfathers are Pomeranians).
F3 – Third generation Pomsky
Both parents are F2 Pomskies or either parent is an F2. If the mother or father are an F2 and the other is an F4 or F5, the puppy is still considered an F3.
F1B – First generation Pomsky with a backcross
One of the parents is an F1 and the other parent is either a purebred Siberian Husky or Pomeranian. The mother should always be the larger of the two for safety.
F1X – First generation Pomsky crossed with another breed
One or both of the parents is crossed with an American Eskimo or a German Spitz. We prefer the American Eskimo.
Keep in mind that generation doesn’t guarantee puppy size. Generally, puppy size is based on the size of the parents. However, this is not always true. Pomskies come in a variety of sizes and we do our best to chart size based on growth patterns, past puppies, and experience. Pomskies come in a large variety of sizes!
