What are American Eskimo dogs like?

American Eskimo dogs are called Eskies for short.  Originally, they were bred in Germany as a farm dog, according to AKC.  American Eskimo is a very intelligent dog.  They learn new things quickly, and they’ll learn commands without much repetition.

They often figure out how to do things by watching either a human or another dog.  Bright, right?  The Eskies love to be with their people, so they are willing to do just about anything to spend time with you.

It is good to have a fenced yard for your Eski to run around and gets the exercises he needs.  It is also a good idea to enroll your Eski in a puppy training class, writes AKC.  It will help him increase his confidence as he encounters different people, situations, sights, and smell.  He’ll become a well-rounded adult.  And while you are attending the class with him, not only will he get the exercise he needs, the two of you are forming a closer bond.  Here are some fun facts.  Starting in late 19^th century, Eskies became popular in travelling circus in the U.S. performing dog tricks.  In fact, it was an Eski who was the first dog to walk across a tight rope.  You can read more about the American Eskimo here.  Enjoy watching Abbie in her first few days home.
