Breed Info

Toy American Eskimo

Country of Origin

The American Eskimo Dog (affectionately called ‘Eskie’ or by the German name ‘spitz’) actually descends from several German breeds such as the Pomeranian and Keeshond. It is not a close relative of the Alaskan Husky. The American Eskimo Dog was brought to America by German settlers in the early 20th century and became a popular circus performer. One Eskie named ‘Stout’s Pal Pierre’ became famous by walking the tightrope. Circuses popularized the breed by selling Eskie puppies after the show. The American Eskimo Dog was finally recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1994.

Size

The Toy American Eskimo Dog has a shoulder height of 23-30 cm (9-12 in) and weighs 3-5 kg (6-10 lbs). Toy American Eskimo Dogs have a wedge shaped head and long, wolf-like muzzle. They have alert, triangular ears and black lips and nose. They are slightly longer than tall, with oval feet and bushy tails which hang over the back.

Coat

The Toy American Eskimo Dog has a two-layered coat. The undercoat is short and dense, and the outer coat consists of long straight hair.

The Toy American Eskimo Dog sheds twice a year.

Care

The Toy American Eskimo Dog should be brushed regularly to prevent matting, more frequently when shedding. The coat should not be shaved as shaving irritates the skin. Toy American Eskimo Dogs groom themselves frequently and thus only need to be bathed 4-5 times a year. Eskies require frequent human companionship. They are comfortable in cool environments but cannot tolerate heat. They are prone to hip dysplasia and may be allergic to fleas. Toy American Eskimo Dogs have a life span of 10 to 15 years (some live up to 20) and litters of 1-2.

Training

Toy American Eskimo Dogs learn quickly and are eager to please. Harsh training techniques are not appropriate. Toy American Eskimo Dogs should be trained early in life. Obedience training is recommended.

Activity

The Toy American Eskimo Dog requires less exercise than the standard breed, but should be given the occasional workout or walk. Provide plenty of water and shade during exercise to avoid overheating from the heavy coat.
