Publisher's Synopsis
American Eskimo The Complete Guide to Eskimo Breeding, Socialization, Health Care, Feeding, Training, Exercise, Behaviors of Adult and Puppy and Much MoreThe American Eskimo Dog has nothing to do with the Alaskan Natives, previously called Eskimos.These playful, smart and perky dogs actually have their roots in the German Spitz breeds.But around the time this breed was being developed in the US by German Immigrants, Germans were unpopular due to WWI, but due to US expansion into the North, so called Eskimos, (Alaskan Native People), were popular, so the German breeders named this dog breed the "American Eskimo Dog", solely to drive sales.This medium sized breed is intelligent, agile, and has a high degree of what's called "desire to please".Given their showy white coat, these dogs soon became a favorite of traveling shows, because unlike Poodles, they did not need to be groomed, or clipped, every 2-3 months, and were easily maintained.And they puppies were easy to sell, because they looked like tiny white Polar Bears, were incredibly cute, and this fed into the name of American Eskimo Dog.As with all dogs, the American Eskimo Dog does best with early training. Start at 10-12 weeks.This is NOT a guard dog and should not be used as such!The American Eskimo Dog is a very friendly, social dog, and pack oriented. This dog will suffer greatly if left alone for hours on end. They desire company all the time.Other than that, these dogs make delightful companions, are good with children, and make great pets!
