Introduction

An American Eskimo Dog (also known as an Eski) is a dog that was originally bred in Germany. These dogs are small and white, with pointed ears, blue eyes and long hair that grows on their back legs. They can also come in other colors, such as black-and-white or brown. The American Eskimo Dog Club of America is responsible for registering all the dogs’ pedigrees so that they can be sure each one is purebred. Their temperament tends to be quiet and loyal with strangers but protective over their owners once they get to know someone well enough!

What is an American Eskimo Dog?

This is a question that I get asked all the time. So I thought it would be appropriate to do a blog explaining this in detail.

The American Eskimo Dog is an extinct breed of spitz-type dog, originally bred in Germany. The breed was created as an all-white companion and family pet with a strong herding instinct, which gave it the reputation as being “the clown of the canine world.” Because they were considered so easy to keep, they spread across America and into Canada during the late 19th century. They have been recognized by both The Kennel Club (UK) and Canadian Kennel Club since 1908 but not by The American Kennel Club (AKC).

American Eskimo Dog Temperament

As a breed, the American Eskimo Dog is playful, energetic and intelligent. They love to be around people and are very affectionate dogs. Eskies are also very trainable, which makes them easy to train for just about anything you want them to do.

One thing that you should know about an Eskie is that they can become overly protective of their family members if they feel like someone is threatening them or the ones they love. If this happens you may want to consult a trainer or behaviorist who can help you with training your dog so he or she doesn’t feel threatened by strangers or other pets in your home.

Selecting an American Eskimo Dog

Choosing an American Eskimo Dog is a big decision, but it’s not one that you can make alone. The first step is finding the right breeder, rescue organization or dog shelter.

• Reputable breeders will have a website that outlines their history and any awards they may have received for their dogs’ health and appearance. If there’s no information about them on the internet at all, it’s probably best to look elsewhere because reputable breeders usually want to show off their work!
• Reputable rescues will also have websites where you can learn more about them and read reviews from previous adopters. If they are only listed as “reputable” because they adopt out dogs who haven’t had any other problems (or haven’t been trained at all), this may not be your best option either! You’re looking for someone who cares deeply about making sure each dog goes into the right home where he or she will get proper care throughout his or her life.* Finally, if you’re going directly through a dog shelter then ask questions before adopting anything so that both parties are fully aware of what they’re getting out of this relationship!

An American Eskimo Dog as a companion

You may have heard the term “snow dog” before, and that’s because this breed is by far the most popular choice for owners who want a companion to accompany them in winter activities. An American Eskimo Dog is excellent with children, other dogs, cats, strangers, other animals and new people/places.

They are also very intelligent which makes them easy to train using positive reinforcement methods like treats or praise. Their size makes them perfect for families with small children as well!

An American Eskimo Dog may be the right dog for you

The American Eskimo dog is a companion dog, a family dog, a watchdog and guard dog. However, they don’t tend to be good guard dogs. They are often very friendly with people and other animals.

The American Eskimo Dog breed is known for its loyalty and devotion to the family it loves so much! The AKC recognized this breed in 1908 but was originally bred in Germany as early as 1780. The name “American Eskimo” came about because of the resemblance between these dogs and native tribes in North America – specifically Alaska & Canada.
