American Eskimo Dog
The American Eskimo Dog is a member of the Spitz family of dogs. Other members of the Spitz family include the Pomeranian, the German Spitz, Akita, Keeshond and the Chow Chow. The American Eskimo breed of dog is characterized by a thick coat, small ears, and a bushy tail that will wrap around and keep the nose warm while the dog is currled up sleeping. The body is slightly longer than the dog is tall at the withers.
During World War II, the dog was often referred to as a "Nordic" breed. During the early 1900's these small white dogs were common in the communities of American German immigrants, thus becoming known as the American Spitz.
The United Kennel Club (UKC) first started to register this breed in 1913 as an Eskimo but changed it in 1917 to its new name of American Eskimo. The American Eskimo Dog is not related to the Canadian Eskimo dog nor the North Greenland Eskimo Dog.
