 The American Eskimo Dog

The American Eskimo is a very playful and energetic dog, although many do calm down as they grow older. This is a breed that loves companionship and play, and has plenty of spirit, courage, and lots of curiosity. The American Eskimo can get bored easily if not kept entertained. This can lead to destructive behavior. The American Eskimo s are intelligent and quick to learn. The American Eskimo can also be very independent and strong willed. Very good at problem solving and doing tricks, these s should be fine when it comes to training. You should also bear in mind that the American Eskimo loves to bark and dig, and therefore may not be the best choice for those looking for a peaceful lifestyle. The American Eskimo are well suited to inexperienced owners as well as more experienced ones.
 
 The American Eskimo gets on well with older, considerate children. The American Eskimo should be okay with other s and other pets. The American Eskimo can be predatory when around smaller creatures such as birds and rodents. The American Eskimo can also have a jealous streak when it comes to other animals getting attention. Sensitive and alert, the American Eskimo makes a good watchdog.
 
 American Eskimo dog
 A member of the Spitz family, the American Eskimo has been bred into three different varieties—toy, miniature and standard. The “Eskie” as it is affectionately called has a head shaped like a wedge, with a perfectly proportioned muzzle and skull. The American Eskimo are intelligent s, with their erect triangular ears adding to their alert and energetic expression. They have a thick coat topcoat, which grows up and through the soft undercoat. This creates a ruffed appearance that is particularly prominent around the neck.
 
 American Eskimo Skills
 Despite its name, the Eskie was never actually used by American Eskimos—the term was said to have been derived from the name of the kennel that first brought the breed into the United States, approximately in 1913. Their intelligence, obedience, playfulness and charming

personality made them perfect “trick dogs”. They were part of the acts of the Barnum and Bailey Circus (who were, in fact, responsible for spreading the breed throughout the United States). In fact, the Eskie Pal Pierre was the first to walk the tightrope. Today, the American Eskimo continue to be favorite performance dogs, and do very well in shows. This keen sense of smell has also made them candidates for training for narcotics detection.
 
 American Eskimo Personality
 The Eskie is one of the best s for children. They are affectionate dog, playful, charming, and loving. The shape of their eyes and mouth seem to give them an appearance of smiling. The American Eskimo are fiercely loyal and protective, with accounts of some s refusing to allow a guest to enter a house without their owner’s signal of approval. They are also very obedient, and consistently get high rankings in obedience trials. Some Eskie s have a nervous streak, and can become wary of strangers. This trait becomes worse if they are maltreated as puppies, so use firm but gentle training methods. Because of their love for attention, the American Eskimo needs very affectionate owners; without enough petting and playing, they can become depressed and aggressive.
 
 American Eskimo dog Exercise Needs
 The American Eskimo is a very active that loves walks and should be given space to run in, at least, a small yard.
 
 American Eskimo dog Living Conditions
 The Eskie can live comfortably in an apartment but needs adequate exercise. Ideally it should have a small yard.
 
 American Eskimo dog Grooming Requirements
 The American Eskimo needs two good brushings a week, using a firm bristle brush. Increase this to daily brushings when it is shedding.
 
 American Eskimo dog Health Issues
 The Eskie has minimal health problems. Owners must simply take extra care of its eyes and tear ducts, and maintain good grooming to prevent skin dermatitis.
