About the American Eskimo Dog

The American Eskimo Dog is a small dog breed originating in United States (German spitz ancestry). Adult dogs typically weigh 10 to 35 pounds and live 13 to 15 years. The breed is described as intelligent, alert, vocal, family-bonded.

Households that enjoy training a smart spitz and can commit to regular brushing of the heavy white coat. Dense condos where the breed's alert barking bothers neighbours, or hot climates without climate control.

Adult American Eskimo Dogs need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is double-coated with high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
