Basic Description: The American Eskimo Dog, a loving companion dog, presents a picture of strength and agility, alertness and beauty. It is a small to medium-size Nordic type dog, always white, or white with biscuit cream. The American Eskimo Dog comes in three distinct sizes: Toy (9-12 inches); Miniature (12-15 inches); and Standard (15-19 inches). Originally called the American Spitz, the breed was not fully recognized and placed in the Non-Sporting Group until 1995. A loving companion dog, the "Eskie" presents a picture of strength and agility, alertness and beauty. It is very intelligent and friendly. At home it is an excellent watchdog, sounding a warning bark to announce the arrival of strangers. It is protective of its home and family, although it does not threaten to bite or attack people. The American Eskimo Dog learns new tasks quickly and is eager to please.
