American Eskimo Dogs, originating from Germany, were brought to America in the 19th century and were originally known as German Spitz.
With their striking white coat and fluffy mane, American Eskimos are known for their beauty and elegance, resembling miniature polar bears.
Contempt their appearance, American Eskimos are friendly and intelligent companions, often described as lively and affectionate with their families.
Their dense double coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting and keep shedding under control, especially during seasonal changes.
While they enjoy indoor play, American Eskimos are energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime to stay mentally and physically fit.
American Eskimos are highly trainable and excel in obedience and agility, but they can also be independent thinkers, requiring consistent training.
Like many breeds, American Eskimos may be prone to certain health issues, including hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and luxating patellas.
