Curious about the American Eskimo? Watch this video and learn everything you need to know about the American Eskimo dog breed.
___________________________________
The American Eskimo dog is a chipper white dog that looks a bit like a miniature Husky. This breed combines striking good looks with a quick and clever mind in a total brains-and-beauty package.
Do you consider purchasing an American Eskimo dog? In this video you will learn everything about the breed based on 8 topics, so you can find out if this dog is best for you.
The American Eskimo Dog, or Eskie, is a breed created by German immigrants in the upper Midwestern United States-not by Eskimos. German farm owners in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio brought German Spitz dogs with them, an all-around farm dog. The breed was refined into its flashy all-white version over time, and its charming looks and quick wit quickly earned it a place with circuses and vaudeville acts. Although the breed has a long history of being an all-purpose farm dog in the Midwest for decades, it was only recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1995.

Mine passed away at 15 (two months shy of his 16th birthday) and he was literally the BEST dog anyone could ever want. Extremely gentle, sweet, playful, affectionate, LOYAL, forgiving-the whole package. He never bit anybody and he was friendly towards other dogs and was great with children. If you're thinking about getting one of these dogs, please do. They're literally the full package-absolutely adorable too.

[@garyschwart]

You seem like a very good person period but not every human deserves a dog like the american eskimo. They're too smart

[@garyschwart]

I have a miniature American Eskimo. She was allowed in the baseball hall of fame. Greatest living, carbon based, organism I know. My Maine coon cat would create the illusion of caressing clouds, when touching her fur. My American Eskimo's ears are softer than clouds.

[@CriticalCentrist]

The Esky is about the only small dog breed that I actually like. It's just so fluffy and cute

[@beccadepeche9490]

I love this breed. I had one who lived to 13 years old after developing congestive heart failure. They are a dog with a positive attitude. I miss mine a lot.

[@hollywoodpotato5289]

My first Eskie escaped from the vet and found her way back to our house. This was before cell phones. So as I returned from school, there she was hanging around yard. When we got inside there were frantic phone messages from the veterinarian office and my mother. Called them both and told them all is well. I miss my puppy.

[@garyschwart]

My American Eskimo ran away from me, Duran a blizzard, when she was only 5 months old peri was literally shaken and thinking the most. Negative thoughts. When I finally decided to head back home, my 5 month year old miniature American Eskimo. Was sitting by the side door

[@KOLDBLU3ST33L]

I've had two...both were amazing. Broke our hearts when they passed.

[@Here4TheHeckOfIt]

My dog was only half Eskie. She was extremely loving, gentle, sweet and smart as a whip. She would decide what she felt like doing, yet was the easiest dog to have around. I tried to crate train her and she made it clear she wasn't having any of it. It was a grueling weekend before I finally gave up. She never needed it though. When housebreaking, all I did was tell her not to pee in the house as if I were talking to a person. She never did. She understood when we were in public places and behaved accordingly. She helped me housebreak my younger dog. Seriously the smartest and best dog. I miss her so much!

[@lynngreer9818]

Best dogs ever. We had 4 the 1st 2 have left us after a wonderful life. We still miss them but we have 2 more who are delightful. Sweet, loving, demand attention and love. They are super.

[@qasimafham522]

Great video and information

[@jasonmack760]

This dog. Will. Bark. It was bred to bark at anyone or anything it doesn't recognize. It'll also bark for attention, because it's bored, or just because. Don't adopt one if that's a problem, you'll just end up having to re-home it. On the other hand, if you don't mind the barking so much, you will never be happier with a dog in your life. I absolutely love mine, and it's obvious the feeling is mutual. I've never had a dog pay so much attention, be this engaged, or be this affectionate.

[@OrganistProTemp]

On August 9th I lost my Eskie. She was in her 15th year. I miss her terribly. She was affectionate, devoted and tremendously understanding. Highly intelligent and quick to please. We had 14 wonderful years together. I got her when she was 4 months old. She was a rescue. I would recommend an Eskie to anybody. but this should not be your first time dog ownership. They are highly clever and can figure out how they can get over on you quickly. You have to be pack leader, not the other way around.

[@MJScoutArchMar]

Our Eskimo also passed away last August! On the 5th. His name was Scout and he was the best dog ever. He was just a few months away from turning 15. About a week later, we rescued 2 Eskimos(Brother & Sister) They helped the healing process very much! Eskimos are the best dogs!

[@DG-mk7kd]

The eski coat is low in oils so it generates much less dog odor than most other breeds

i'm looking for a dog that looks cute and cuddly but can also be rough, and i like what i see does it come in only white or other colors too

[@austynhaywood2214]

“It will not develope aggressive traits” Mine is extremely aggressive with a large personality. She only likes the male of the household, her alpha and still tries to challenge him sometimes. I have had her for twelve years and has never changed. We trained her constantly. She is also high anxiety and despite her toys, and walks and outside play time, she barks at any little noise. She also gets very excited when she meets new people and pees on the floor even though she is 100% house trained. However, my mother had this breed 20 years ago and it was the best dog she ever had. This breed is a gamble. It is not a lab,.

I just want to let people know that this channel takes content from other people without permission, edits it together and makes money from it. This one video contains 27 clips taken from my channel. They don't even credit the owners of the content in the description. I emailed them about it, but they ignored me.

[@DogWorldHQ]

Hi Abbie, the channel has changed owner recently. I apologised if your video clips were not accredited back to you. Please reach out to us again and give me the list of videos where your clips are shown. We could remove the clips or give you credits in the description. We do receive a lot of email, so I'll be particularly looking for yours in the next couple of days. Again, I'm sorry for that.

[@taylorbee4010]

I'm going to have to go with the old dog book that I used to have if you're getting one of these it might not be best as you're very first dog unless you're willing to train it. The good news is that they're extremely trainable.the bad news is they're not a Golden retriever and they command that you follow kind of like a dog's rules rather than a human's.

[@mikeg3439]

they are a commitment, yep. Not for someone who just casually wants to have a dog around. I love mine to pieces.

[@countryroad9827]

Can someone give me a contact list for a Eskimo spitz near Tennessee?

[@taylorbee4010]

The other thing is they're smart enough to entertain themselves if you justput them outside and they're very capable of hunting which means if you forget to feed them they'll just feed themselves. If they like to hunt it all.

[@WolfsspitzElla6295]

they love to hunt mice but i don't find them to like staying alone. I have a wolfsspitz my grandma had a white mittelspitz which is same as american eskimo. spitz dogs are the best - made in germany

[@favoritebetas9452]

Prohibitively expensive? You can get an Eskie puppy starting at $500 to $1200. Not sure where the commentator is looking but most people do not want to buy show quality dogs. Things you do need to know: 1. Constantly want to play, wrestle etc. 2. It is a watch dog. It will bark at any person it can see regardless of distance when at home. 3. Hesitant with new people and other dogs but never aggressive in my experience. 4. High prey drive. Ours caught a mouse and hates the squirrels and deer in our yard. 5. Highly trainable. If you can think it and have the patience this dog can do it. 6. Not all Eskies are fluff balls. Some only have a fluffy mane, tail and haunches. 7. They will follow you everywhere in the house, . . . .everywhere. Bathroom included. 8. Not as vocal as a Husky but they will talk with you when they want something.

[@jorgeramirez7761]

I can second all this. My family has 2 of them. From experience they take 1 person as their 'leader?'. One of them took me, and the other one took my mom. When it came to commands they only answer when their respective 'leader' gives the order. However, they do tend to get into fights quite often. One of the esquies is very territorial, whilst the other one is relatively submissive. They've never injured eachother though.

[@zirunher8196]

Totally agree. He is a good watch dog. Bark at any strangers. Maybe that's why it is not expensive.

[@darthvader43609]

I owned one for 10 years, a female named Buttons. She was a big baby, but if she didn't know you she would bite you, as I taught her that for protection. Example, my ex tried to pet Buttons as I told her she does not know you, she will bite you. My ex bent down to pet Buttons and she did exactly what I taught her-she bit my ex, and me, all I said was Buttons. She came to my side and got a good ear scratch and a good gurl.out of me. We had got a Jack Russell Terrier, a female as well for her playmate. Those two were inseparable. Both playing inside during the winter, but Buttons would let the Jack know when she was too rough by smacking her paw on the Jack. Both have sense passed on, Buttons in 2004, the Jack named Sassy in 2009. Both lived their lives really well with myself and my grandparents, and the love the eskie deserved.
