About American Eskimo
|
Country of Origin, History of the breed
The American Eskimo Dog
is a Spitz type dog, bred in North America
and closely related to the German Spitz.
Anti-German sentiment during World War I
may have led to the name change in the early
1900s and today they have become a separate
breed. As with other Spitz-type dogs the
American Eskimo is a Nordic type dog.
|
|
Late in the nineteenth century
these dogs were used in circuses because of their
quickness and agility, intelligence and trainability,
and sparkling white coats. As they traveled in the
circuses, people saw them and became enamored with
them, so their popularity grew.
Relatives of this dog are the
white German Spitz, the white Keeshound, the white
Pomeranian and the Volpino Italiano (white Italian
Spitz).

Personality
Temperament of the Dog
The American Eskimo Dog is a bright,
playful and affectionate dog. The Eskie is excellent
with children. They are intelligent, willing to
please and easy to train.
Eskies like to work and often
rank high in obedience trials. They also make very
good watch dogs and will bark at an approaching
stranger, but can instantly become anyone’s
friend that is introduced to them. The American
Eskimo breed loves to bark.
Eskimo Dogs need lots of love and attention. Eskies
need early socialization to avoid potential aggression
towards other dogs.
Better suited to an indoor
or outdoor lifestyle?
American Eskimos are a very active,
fun loving breed. They do best with lots of outdoor
activities and cooler climates. However, they like
to be with their family so they prefer to sleep
in the house. In hot climates they will need to
be in the air conditioning much of the summer.
Are they suited to homes
with kids?
American Eskimos are excellent
with children. They crave lots of love and attention
from the whole family.
Activity
Level
How Active is the Breed?
Eskies are an active breed. They
need long daily walks and should be kept on a leash
or in a well fenced yard.
How Much Exercise Does
the Dog Need at every stage of its Life?
American Eskimo dogs need long
daily walks. They were bred as a working animal
and need an outlet for their energy. The Eskimo
Dog will gain weight if he is not getting enough
exercise.
Grooming
The Eskie’s thick double
coat should be kept clean. This is easily done with
a good brushing twice a week. When shedding, brushing
should be done daily.
Health

should be given to the eyes and tear ducts. American
