CANINE DNA
DNA testing enables us to learn about the Pomsky breed, health, and more. We are partnered with PawPrint Genetics and Embark, our members receive significant discounted rates on DNA tests.
DNA testing is necessary for the breed to move forward to produce healthy and happy breed as well as document the traits that will define the Pomsky breed.
REGISTRATION
Maintaining and compiling accurate records in our registration database to document the lineage and pedigrees of Pomskies around the world is important to us.
We are currently working to develop a database that is visible to APKC® Breeder members that will include health information, verified health testing done, and lineage history for Pomskies registered with the APKC®.

One of our main goals is educate breeders and owners about the wonderful breed of Pomskies through our collection or articles, webinars, mentor programs, and events.
Resources and programs APKC® members can be found on the membership hub once logged into personal membership accounts while resources and programs for the general public can be found on the left under “Education.”
AKC RECOGNITION
AKC Recognition is a long and arduous process. Most people are unaware that breeds take 30-50 years for AKC recognition, if processed properly. As the Pomsky parent club, we are actively taking steps to prepare for this.
Our goals are to create a quality and sustainable breed standard in preparation for our AKC journey. Ways we are doing this:
New Registration process to accurately track lineage
Created an APKC® Breed Standard in 2023
Created an APKC® Color Standard WIP 2024
Ongoing discussions on breed inclusions
