  • When do I get to choose my puppy?
    Our wait list is priority based. When we receive your deposit and have conducted an in person or video interview. "Pick Week" is no later than the 6th week after the puppies are born. We will provide this date shortly after the puppies are born. We start the process as soon as we have all the information needed to make informed decisions. Information needed an informed decision depends on what the buyer is looking for. Some examples are; Embark DNA results for breeding, Emotional Support Animal potential, body size possibilities, eye colors, fur length, fur texture, temperament, and more that a future parent may need. Once the first person on the list makes a choice, we will notify the next person on the list. We will go down the waitlist in order from1st Pick, to 2nd Pick and so on. Each person gets enough time that they need to make their decision before moving on to the next.
  • What happens on pick day?
    Our puppies are in a highly controlled environment for your quality purchase and your puppies safety. I mean, you don't want just anyone handling your future family pet. On pick day, we can make arrangements for you to see your puppies through the preferred live video chat. We can send pictures and/or videos. And we can do this more than once. We also have amply opportunities for you to view you future family member from our "Shenanigans" Page. Pick day often turns into pick week. And that is fine with us. We want you to be absolutely sure with your decision. We would love to be able to meet you in person. More than half of our puppy families are out of state, and with the ample time they take for their decision, in-person pick day visits just are not possible. We think that being able to choose your puppy in your time, allows you to see which one you feel you have the most chemistry with. between pick day delivery day, you will have ample time to view your pup in videos and have many opportunities to speak with the Puppy Time Emporium staff that spends the most amount of time with you future family member and ask as many questions as you want. We just ask that you be flexible and patient until your turn comes and we will do our very best to accommodate everyone’s needs.
  • Do I pay for my puppy on pick day?
    No, your $500 deposit and interview allows you to participate in pick day. Your final payment is not due until it is time to take your puppy home. And if you do not find a puppy to your liking, you can either have your deposit returned or wait for the next up coming pick day.
  • What are my options on pick day, when it’s my turn to pick?
    Each person on the wait list has the choice of picking or not picking from the available puppies and waiting for the next litter. Our wait list is a rolling list that is not specific to any particular litter. Most of our puppy parents choose a puppy as soon as they can. We have had a few, for various reasons, that decide to pass on the current litter. And we have close relationships with other breeders who are also working on perfecting the breed, and looking for very specific traits. And please understand that because Puppy Time Emporium is always working on perfecting the breed, we always reserve the right to first pick. We do not keep a puppy from every litter. Our place is always included in the wait list count.
  • Why would someone choose to pass on their turn to pick?
    For several reasons. But the most common reason is that timing is just not right for them at the moment. Life happens and we understand that your circumstances may change. And one of the goals of Puppy Time Emporium is that our puppy is perfectly matched to their forever parents. That is why, at Puppy Time Emporium, you can always pass on a litter, and you can always get your deposit back. If deposits go up, you will be notified of either a full refund or the opportunity to increase to the updated amount. Moving, divorce, a new baby, new job, even another pet’s needs may require your immediate attention at the moment. At Puppy Time Emporium, you are never forced to bring home, or even pay for a puppy if the time is not right for you. Sometimes people and especially fellow breeders have a particular litter that they would like to receive a puppy from and they signed up to go on the list early to get one of the first picks of their preferred litter. Regardless of the reason, even if you just don't like the choices of puppies you are presented, if you don't fond a puppy to LOVE, either ask for a full refund of your deposit or wait for the next litter coming you way shortly. That is one of the reasons we require a video chat prior to your initial deposit. We want to talk to you about your dream puppy. we want that honest conversation so we can assist you with what we are expecting in our upcoming litters. The more we communicate, the better we can match you to the perfect puppy for your home, lifestyle and personality.
  • How long can I keep passing on litters?
    Forever. We ask that you keep us up to date on your needs. And that you be willing to update your deposit if needed. Puppy Time Emporium will never force you to purchase a pet you are not in LOVE with, or keep your money.
  • Can I get a refund on my deposit if I do not find a puppy?
    Puppy Time Emporium will never force you to take a pet you do not want or feel is not a fit. If you are not in love when it is your turn to pick either wait for the next litter if after the third first pick holder position has passed, you get your deposit back. We don't want your money if you don't want a puppy. We recommend that if you are sure that you choose Puppy Time Emporium to be your breeder, sign up as soon as possible to have the most options when it comes time to picking puppies. But if you are not 100% sure that you want us to be your breeder, that is completely fine and you should shop around more until you find the best fit for what you are looking for. Adopting a puppy is a huge decision that you should not take lightly. Do your research and make sure you are 100% onboard to adopt from Puppy Time Emporium. Ask us a thousand questions. We are happy to answer all of your questions until you feel comfortable with your decision.
  • What happens after I choose my puppy?
    Normally you will choose your puppy in week 5. After you choose your puppy, Puppy Time Emporium will send you the official purchase contract for your puppy that both you and Puppy Time Emporium will sign. (You should receive a purchase contract template before signing for your review. Please ask for a copy if you have not received it). Because of our strict policies; no puppies will be allowed placement until they are at least 8 weeks old, have their shots updated, and through ally checked out by a vet. Most puppies head to their forever home in the beginning of their 8th week.
  • What happens to the puppies that do not get chosen by the waitlist?
    Once everyone on the wait list has made their decisions, any remaining puppies available will be sold to the public with the same high standards.
  • When are payments due?
    You will only make two payments to Puppy Time Emporium, the initial deposit that allows you to participate in the waiting list, and the final payment that must be made in full by the time your puppy is received. Payment may be made in person on pick up day as well if using a method that does not have a processing time delay. The puppy will not leave until they are paid for in full.
  • Why does it seem your puppies are expensive.
    These are not dogs that live in the back yard and eat Old Roy. Our females don't just get pregnant by some male while we are at work. Eight weeks later, we don’t come home to a pile of cash nursing on the mom, just we can wait another 8 weeks for that tidy sum to mature so we can cash in. That is not how it works. Each year, dignified ethical breeders spend tens of thousands of dollars on the pursuit of perfecting the breed. It is nothing for a breeder to get a call and fly half way around the world to get the exact dog that will help the breeder better the blood line in pursuit of perfecting the breed. Expenses such as quality food, quality care, vet bills, health tests, DNA tests, cleaning supplies, (tons of cleaning supplies), electricity for our climate controlled breeding area, whelping boxes and resting area, water, and monthly medications are things that breeders pay for year round. When we have puppies, they do not leave our sight for the first 8 weeks, we call it #teamnosleep because we don’t sleep. We monitor nursing (every two hours, 7 days a week for weeks), we bottle feed, we tube feed. We pour ourselves into these tiny little lives to the point where sometimes we become sick ourselves. We cancel our lives: vacations, school plays, weddings, anniversaries, births and birthdays... everything is on hold when we have puppies. When we don’t have babies, we still have the daily upkeep of our dogs. We also use this time for research, training and further educating ourselves so that we can perfect the breed by producing the healthiest, perfect standard, socialized puppies possible. So, yes, we work very hard keeping these amazing pups not only alive, but healthy, well adjusted and ready for their new families. We take pride in our dogs, and we spare no expense on the proper training, and raising of our pups, and that is all reflected in the price of our puppies.
  • If it doesn't work out with my dog, can I bring it back?
    Yes, we want to be your first call. We do not give refunds. But we do offer consignments for rehoming through us. That way we and you can rest assure that your pup will find the best possible home to meets its needs.
  • What is "puppy uglies", and do Pomskies get them?
    YES. In fact, Pomskies get them so bad, they are also called Pomsky uglies. This is when a puppy is in their awkward teen phase. Think braces/zits/oily hair stage of tween/teen human life. DON’T PANIC! It’s a very normal stage, especially for Pomskies. You get your adorable, little fuzzy ball of Pomsky energy. Then around month 4-5, you start noticing that the puppy looks like it’s wearing a hoodie with some weirdness going on around his face. His ears outgrow his body, he gets all legs, clumsy and gangly. Then around month 6, the growth has significantly slowed down - but he may be close to being bald with new fur coming in and you wonder if you made the right decision with this expensive dog. Congratulations! You have made it to the “puppy uglies.” Some Pomskies fare better than others. Some move gracefully into their adult coats. Others, like one of my girls, ended up looking like a vampire, bald, and more than uncomfortably similar look to a Chupacabra! The good news is that they do grow out of it. Take this awkward stage with some humor and lots of pictures. Then starting around 10 months, they will begin to grow their adult coat. By the time they are 14months or so, they will look like what their permanent look will be. The tail tends to continue to grow, and the coat will continue to bloom.
  • Do Pomskies bark a lot.
    Not as much as you would think. Pomskies are generally quiet. They are Not watch dogs. They love everyone. And Pomskies like to talk. When pomskies bark, it is more like singing. Pomsky owners call this the Pomsky Scream.
  • What comes with my puppy?

A Day in the Life

Our puppies live in our home and are treated as our own pets.  They get regular socialization from our other puppies and adult dogs, kids and adult humans.  We understand that every interaction is a learning experience, that can be either positive or negative. Here is what a normal day looks like in your puppies life. Your puppy gets up between 6-7am for a supervised walk outside, helping in potty training. Their areas are are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. They are then fed their "gruel" meal, full of fat, protein, vitamins, supliments, and all the essentials puppies need. The moms are fed their "Mommy meal', full of everything nursing moms need to grow healthy pups. Parents and puppy areas are checked for food, water, and cleanlinessnormal day looks We go about our normal lives, cooking meals, doing schoolwork, cleaning and just spending time together with the puppies around us as they would experience in their forever homes.  Our job is to show them that people are kind and can be trusted.  Animals are friendly and there are enough resources for everyone to coexist happily.
