American Eskimo Dog Information

A loving companion, the American Eskimo is a playful, smart dog ranging in size from small to medium. The breed’s distinguishing features are its bright white coat, perky ears and jet-black lips and nose. Once used a circus dog, American Eskimos are obedient, agile and easy to train. They are great with children and other dogs, too.

Believe it or not, this dog actually originated in Germany and is a descendant of the European spitzes. Their voluminous coat requires regular brushing and bathing – it’s not easy to look that good! Make sure this breed gets enough exercise; they’re quick and curious and need stimulation.
