American Eskimo Dogs are predisposed to hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy (both have recommended CHIC health screenings), along with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease in toy and miniature sizes. Regular OFA hip, PRA DNA, and eye evaluations are standard for reputable breeders.
A quality diet in measured portions matched to the specific size variety (toy, miniature, or standard).
The thick double coat is a heavy year-round shedder with intense seasonal blowouts — genuine dedicated grooming commitment, needing brushing multiple times a week.
Highly intelligent and eager to learn, Eskies excel with positive reinforcement and mental challenges. The breed's strong watchdog instinct means it will alert-bark at everything, so early training to manage barking is worthwhile.
Despite the name, the American Eskimo Dog has no historical connection to Eskimo culture — it descends from German Spitz dogs brought to the US by immigrant communities in the 19th century, renamed during World War I due to anti-German sentiment. The breed became widely popular as a circus and exhibition performer in the 1930s-40s thanks to its striking white coat and exceptional trainability, and the AKC granted full recognition in 1994.
"Eskies" are known for combining striking looks with genuine intelligence — among the most trainable small breeds in the AKC registry, excelling at obedience, agility, and trick training, alert and friendly though somewhat reserved when first meeting new people.
