American Eskimo Dog

The American Eskimo Dog is a spitz-type breed that originated in Germany.

Bred as a working dog, they were used for tasks such as guarding and herding.

In the early 1900s, they were brought to America and quickly became popular circus performers due to their intelligence and trainability.

They are known for their alertness, loyalty, and affectionate nature, making them excellent family pets.

The American Eskimo Dog is a medium-sized breed with a thick, white double coat that requires regular grooming.

They are active and energetic, needing plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy.

With proper training and socialization, the American Eskimo Dog is an intelligent and devoted companion.
