The American Eskimo Dog: A great dog for the family
The American Eskimo Dog is a relative of the German Spitz. It is a cute little snow ball of a dog that comes in three varieties: standard, toy, and miniature. The standard usually grows to be between 15 and 19 inches tall and can weigh up to 35 pounds. The miniature variation of this breed grows to be between 12 and 15 inches tall and can weigh up to 20 pounds. The toy version of this breed only gets to be about 12 inches tall and only weighs up to 10 pounds. All versions of this breed have a white or cream coat that is long, fluffy, and dense. Some of the health issues you will want to look out for include progressive retinal atrophy and hip dysplasia.
Characteristic and behavior of the American Eskimo Dog
The temperament of this breed makes them a great pet for a family. They are obedient, loyal and loving, however, they are also very protective of their families. Because of this they also make great watch dogs.
Care and grooming of the American Eskimo Dog
To care for and groom this dog you will need to brush their fur coat at least once a week. This will help to keep their hair clean and free of tangles and matting. You will also need to bathe them at least once a month. They are an active and bouncy dog breed that need rigorous exercise every day. They also enjoy a little roughhousing from time to time.
