Latest American Eskimo Dog Frequently Asked Questions:
I'm about to get a miniature american eskimo dog pup. Does anyone know if this breed can get along with my other pets including a cat, bunny, ducks and chickens? We plan on introducing him early on so that he can accept them. I also have a very old beagle, but he's met the puppy and they get along very well
Answer:I foster 2 Eskie adults and have 5 other dogs along with 3 indoor cats. My 2 Eskies get along fine with the others and they were all adults when they came into the house. There is a way to introduce each to new furry members of the family. Put the new pet in a crate and keep the other dog on a leash. Walk the dog around the crate letting him sniff, etc. Talk nicely to both. Then let go of the lead and let him get comfortable around the crate by himself but dragging the lead. With any aggression by either, you have control. Once they seem to be comfortable (and this may take 30-45 min) then take the new pet out and with your other dog on a lead, take them outside where they do not feel cornered. Let each get to know the other. The leads assure that you can step on the leash and stop them from running, etc. if necessary. The entire process should take about 1-2 hours. Congratulations!
I am looking for a dog to buy. I am very intrested in the american eskimo dog. I have done a ton of research but i never saw one next to me.
Answer:The American Eskimo is a charming, affectionate and loving dog. Hardy and playful, they are excellent with children. Highly intelligent and willing to please. Alert and easy to train, the American Eskimo often ranks among the top scorers in obedience trials. Some individuals have a willful streak, but most like to work. Dogs whose ancestry displays nervousness, hyperactivity or viciousness should not be bred. They are naturally wary of strangers, but once introduced, they become instant friends. Some have been known to not let a stranger enter the home until the owner says it is okay. Eskimos need to be part of the family and engage in nuisance activities when isolated. Handle them gently, but firmly. This breed needs attention and loves to bark. Eskies should be thoroughly socialized when young to avoid potential aggression-related
I live in a single home with a large yard. Im debating with my brother he wants a border collie i want an american eskimo dog.
Answer:Most border collie breeders would never ever suggest somebody without a pastuer and a few good sheep getting one. They have very high energy and need a lot of stimulation. They are great dogs but definitely not for everyone. I love spitz's, American Eskimos or Japanese Spitz as they're called here are great, my friend has one.

Answer:
My friends american eskimo dog is about 11 yrs old, he was trained to not take a leak (or take a shiitt) in the house but like since 5 months ago he's been starting to not be able to hold it no more so he pisses and shiitts all the time now. When we used to ring the bell he used to run to the door and bark like crazy, but lately he doesn't really even bother no more... Is his time (to die) near?
Answer:It doesn't necessarily mean he's going to die, it just means he's getting old. Your friend should try and let him out more often so he can go outside. Old age happens to everyone&everything.
