Pomsky Scammers & Websites



Common Warning Flags:

  1. PRICE. Pomsky puppies that’s under $2500 are most likely a scam in the current COVID market. Some may be lower priced at under $2500 but tend not to be health tested and very low quality.

  2. SHIPPING. Cargo shipping isn’t available in the US (Canada can still use Cargo)

  3. DISCOUNT. Offering 50% off?  Scam.

  4. Language is off, worded oddly

  5. AKC papers:  Pomskies are not recognized yet.

  6. Do they have a matching Facebook page and Instagram account? 

  7. Only pictures of puppies ready to go home. You don’t see “the journey” of a puppy from newborn to 8 weeks.

  8. Pictures of a single puppy, cannot produce pictures of mom/dad/siblings (ask for something like paper with the current date)

  9.  Pomsky puppies are released at 8 weeks right now, it’d be highly unusual to have 10 week old puppies available.

  10. Payments with Gift cards, Western Union, Walmart, etc.

If a breeder is advertising more than 4 breeds, chances are they are a puppy mill.
