Policy: Toy Pomsky Health Awareness

At Chocolate Kiss Puppies, we prioritize the well-being and ethical treatment of all our dogs, including Toy Pomskys. Please review the following policy regarding the care and considerations associated with Toy Pomskys:

Size and Health Concerns:

1. Small Size: Toy Pomskys are exceptionally small, often even smaller than standard Pomskys. Their tiny stature makes them delicate and potentially susceptible to health issues.
2. Health Risks: Due to their size, Toy Pomskys may be prone to respiratory problems, dental issues, fragile bones, and other health concerns typical of teacup-sized dogs. It's essential to provide specialized care and attention to ensure their well-being.

Breeding Ethics and Responsibility:

1. Selective Breeding: The breeding of Toy Pomskys, especially teacup-sized ones, raises ethical concerns as it often involves selectively pairing the smallest Pomeranians with Siberian Huskies to produce tiny offspring. We prioritize responsible breeding practices and advocate for the health and welfare of all dogs.
2. Reputable Breeders: We encourage prospective owners to seek out reputable breeders who prioritize the health and well-being of their dogs over producing the smallest possible puppies. It's crucial to ensure that breeders adhere to ethical breeding standards.

Consideration for Lifestyle:

1. Suitability for Families: Toy Pomskys, especially teacup-sized ones, may not be suitable for families with small children due to their fragile nature. They may be better suited for individuals or families with older, considerate children who can handle them gently.

Regular Veterinary Care:

1. Routine Checkups: Regular veterinary checkups and vaccinations are essential for Toy Pomskys to monitor their health and address any potential issues promptly. We recommend establishing a comprehensive healthcare plan with your veterinarian.

Exercise and Training:

1. Activity Needs: Despite their small size, Toy Pomskys are active and intelligent dogs that require regular exercise and mental stimulation. Owners should be prepared to provide them with appropriate training and playtime to keep them engaged and healthy.

Lifespan Consideration:

1. Shorter Lifespan: Toy Pomskys, particularly teacup-sized ones, may have a shorter lifespan compared to larger dogs due to their size and associated health risks. Prospective owners should be aware of this possibility and prepared for the commitment of caring for a Toy Pomsky throughout its life.

In conclusion, while Toy Pomskys are undeniably adorable and charming, it's crucial to be aware of the potential health risks and ethical considerations associated with breeding them. We are committed to ensuring the well-being of all our Toy Pomskys and encourage prospective owners to make informed decisions and provide the care and attention these delicate pets require.
