Pomskys are heavy shedders, but regular brushing can help manage shedding and promote a healthy coat.

Collies shed a lot of hair each year, so frequent brushing is essential for reducing shedding and maintaining coat health.

Pomskys aren't great guard dogs; they tend to just watch without taking action.
