Meet the breeder
I'm Ariel C., the breeder behind Pathfinder Pomskies located in Airway Heights, WA. We breed with passion and integrity so we’re able to responsibly contribute to growing this amazing breed. Our program is focused on producing puppies that are healthy, well-structured, and have outstanding temperaments. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!
Q. & A. with Ariel
Why did you start breeding?
Being in the rescue/foster world really highlighted the critical importance of responsible and careful breeding. But truth be told, I hadn't considered participating in breeding myself until I was introduced to the Spitz breeds- with the Arctic Spitz (Pomskies) being my entrance. After spending a couple of years under a mentor, my program is finally ready to premiere!What makes your program special?
We underline the importance of not just pretty looks, but temperaments & proper structure- the importance of it and how we help guide our families to the right puppy for them. We temperament test our pups at 6 weeks old and also commit to OFA testing, something not yet common in the pomsky breeder world but we hope to set an example to always raise the standards.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 wolf sable, gray and white, white, black and white, chocolate, and red and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Pomsky
About Athena
This beautiful girl is an F3x (small % of eskimo to help further the breed as suggested by the APKC) sired by our very own Pathfinder Bear. She inherited her father’s quietness and her mother’s playfulness making her the poster child of balance in the breed! She possesses an easy-maintenance wooly coat that has reduced shedding & easier grooming. Structurally, she has that sturdy, compact frame we tend to favor. One of her quirks? She stands up on her tippy toes when she's excited! She sports a lovely reverse mask with deep blue eyes and carries for our signature reds! She’s the total package.
Great health testing
Patellar Luxation, Full Embark Panel, +3 more.

About Bear
This handsome dark chocolate wooly was the perfect choice for us on what we wanted in our foundation stud. He hails from multiple Eskimo generational outcrosses. Likewise, he has the trademark silky “eskie” wooly coat that sheds less and is easier to groom! This also introduces welcome and approved genetic diversity into the breed. His mellow temperament does not disappoint either! He’s extremely quiet (to this day we have yet to hear him make a single bark or sound aside from his yawns!) Super sweet, gentle, and very independent. Excellent structure. 23lbs. Green/Amber eyes. F3.

Pumpkin, mom
Pomsky
About Pumpkin
She was carefully chosen as a prospect from a mentor and we chose well! This gorgeous red diva is the perfect balance between sassy and silly. Our home would be bland and boring without her. She’s very affectionate and will talk/sing to you when she’s getting very excited about something. Stranger or not, she loves humans but can be a little reactive to stranger or larger dogs, but warms up quickly! Out of all the pomskies we’ve had, she stands out as being the most intelligent; an unbelievably fast learner on all of her training as a pup. She is also the bravest! Plush coat with blue eyes. Athletic. 17 lbs. F2.
