The American Eskimo Dog—often nicknamed the “Eskie”—is a beautiful, intelligent, and energetic companion known for its fluffy white coat, bright eyes, and smiling face. Despite the name, this breed has no direct link to Eskimo culture; it actually originated from German Spitz dogs. Eskies come in three sizes—Toy, Miniature, and Standard—and are loved for their playful, affectionate nature and sharp intelligence. They’re quick learners, making them great at tricks and obedience training, and they thrive on human interaction. With their striking looks and lively spirit, the American Eskimo is both a showstopper and a loyal family dog.
