I'm Joyce C., the breeder behind Mingus Mountain Pomskys located in Arizona. My program was built with love, care, and intention from the ground up. The quality of my puppies reflects the conscious decisions I make throughout every part of the breeding process. I am confident that my puppies will enrich your life just as much as my dogs have touched mine!
Q. & A. with Joyce
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with our first girl Rajah who came to us 4 years ago. She is the light of our life. Me as a labor and deliver nurse just fell in love with the whole process and wanted to continue to better this amazing breed! We love their personalities from the agility to the brains they have it all, plus Loves your lap to boot! Best dogs you could have for all ages.
What makes your program special?
I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents. Our pups are well socialized with adults(male/female), kids and other animals. We believe in puppy culture and do with every puppy to enrich their beginning. We believe in preparing pups to go home to decrease the shock.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, black, black and white, chocolate, and red and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

“Puppies are priced based on several items.
Puppies priced below $3000 will not have traditional husky markings.
We strive to breed for quality and good temperaments as well as our puppies looking as close to a mini husky as possible!
We start puppy picks about 5 weeks of age with a deposit. At this time we are able to see their coat type, eye color, estimate size and see their temperaments developing. We request a $500 non-refundable deposit which is applied to the pup you choose. Deposit is due before being added to the waitlist or choosing your puppy after pick have been made. Initial contracts will be updated with specific Puppy prior to full payment requested, full payment due by the age of 7 weeks.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
