American Eskimo Dogs

I have two American Eskimo dogs, and they are the greatest joys for me and my family. They are always happy when we get home, no matter if it is one person or all of us that come home at the same time. Their bright shining eyes, the kind of smile on the face, the barking hello, and their jumping up and down with enthusiasm, all let you know how happy they are to see you.

The American Eskimo dog, Eskie for short, is a Nordic type dog, always white, or white with biscuit cream. Prince and Angel are both white, most of the time, boy can they get dirty, but they both cleanup pretty easy. I have not had a problem bathing them myself or taking them to a groomer. If you leave them alone and dirty they will usually clean their selves up. I do not know how they reach all of their body the way they do, but they get their selves clean.

Their eyes are medium, oval in shape but not slanted. Eyes are dark to medium brown and set well apart, giving an intelligent expression. Eye rims are black to dark brown. Even their eye lashes are white. The ears are set well apart, and are triangular, slightly rounded at the tips, and held erect.

The white double coat consists of a short dense undercoat, with a longer guard hair growing through it forming the outer coat. Some of the hair they shed looks like pieces of cotton, you can usually pick it up pretty easy, but some of the hair they shed is just long single pieces of hair and it is not as easy to pick up. Their thick long haired tails are carried curl on their back, Prince's tail is fuller than Angel's, but they both carry their tail curled up on their back.

With its alert, smooth carriage, the American Eskimo presents a picture of natural beauty, alertness, strength, and agility and that describes both Prince and Angel. Prince and Angel are the sweetest dogs any one could ask for. They get along good with the other dogs my family has and also with other dogs in the neighborhood.

Next time I will be writing about the companionship of an American Eskimo dog.

Angel and Prince my constant companions

Prince and Angel are the best pets a person could ask for. They keep me company whether I am inside or outside. If I am outside they are always at my side, they make every step I make. They are not only companions, but protectors also. If I am in my chair inside the house they are laying at my feet, if not lying in my lap. If I leave the room they get up and follow me. If I go into my bedroom and leave them in the other room, they lie down at my door and wait on me to come back out. When I do come out they are just so happy to see me, like I have been gone for hours, or days instead of a few minutes.

I have their crates in my bedroom, so at night I just ask them who is ready for bed. They head straight to the bedroom door, ready to go in and get in their crates. Most nights they sleep straight through, I would say. Even though any time I get up and check on them Prince is awake. I am not sure if my getting up wakes him up or if he just doesn't sleep much. In the mornings they are more than ready to go outside, but when I go to the door to get them to come back inside they come right away.
We live on almost six acres of land so I can let them outside to exercise without me having to be right there on top of them. Most of the land is wooded so they don't usually go off to far, mostly stay in the yard. If I go outside when they are out playing they come running when they hear the door open. They are just so happy to be outside running and playing, but don't mind coming in when I say it is time to come inside. Well, more next time.

Grooming Prince and Angel My American Eskimo Dogs

When it comes to grooming Angel, she stays in the house most of the time, so she gets a bath at least once a week. If she gets dirty when she goes outside to play she may get a bath every few days. It really verifies depending on what all she gets into. She stands in the bath tub for me to bathe her most of the time. She will put her paws on the edge of the tub wanting out, but if I grab her collar she will get down. For the summer I had her clipped, so her coat is short and I do not have much to do except bathe her. During the winter months I comb her once or twice a week, plus bathing her.
Prince is inside and outside about the same amount of time. He usually gets a bathe once a week also. Prince will lie down in the tub for me to bathe him, or he will stand under the running water while I rub him down so that he gets completely wet. His coat is so thick I have to run my hands down it so the water will get all the way through. I brush him once or twice a week usually also in the winter. He has been clipped also.
Most places you check for information on how to groom an American Eskimo will give you the following information. When it comes to grooming, the needs of the American Eskimo Dog can vary depending on the time of year. During the times when his shedding is at its heaviest you will need to brush his coat on a daily basis. However, at other times of the year brushing around twice a week should suffice. You may also need to bathe your American Eskimo Dog perhaps on a monthly basis. I have noticed that all dogs are different even if they are the same breed, so many will have different needs for grooming. Angel gets more grooming than Prince does probably because she spends more time in the house, but some of the reason for that is that she is a different dog than Prince.

American Eskimo Dogs are Great Protectors

Prince and Angel are still puppies, but when someone comes to the house they will get between the guest and me. They are still so small, but they want to make sure that I am okay. I do believe they would do anything to protect me. I know they love me, but when they try to protect me I realize just how much they love me.
The American Eskimo dog is a great protector. When people own an American Eskimo dog they have a wonderful protector for the family. The dogs are usually one person dogs, but they will protect the whole family. Children especially are well protected with the American Eskimo dogs. The only problem with that is; that it can make it hard to discipline your children. The good thing about that is that they will not let anyone hurt your child. I feel safe with children around my American Eskimo dogs.
Most people would not think of an American Eskimo dog as a protector because of their size. They maybe be small dogs but they are great protectors.

Why I think American Eskimo dogs are the greatest pets

I am trying to get the word out on how great the American Eskimo dogs are.

Angel and Prince bonding with the family

Angel and Prince are both great dogs. They love the whole family. Angel is especially close to me. For the time being I am at home most days with her and we have really bonded. When my family is at home she is normally right with me. She has gotten closer to my husband over the last couple of months, since he has been home more. If anyone goes outside she is ready to go; it doesn't matter who is going outside as long as it is outside. I have only had Angel for five months, but it is hard to remember life before Angel.
Prince is just wonderful, he is close to me as well as the rest of the family. He always has quite a few eskie hugs for any of us. He just wants to protect us and love us. I could not ask for a better dog.

American Eskimos and training

Angel and Prince are like most American Eskimo dogs, they have been pretty good at training. I got Prince first and we went through a puppy training class at Petsmart. That was mostly just the basis. I have tried to keep it going with Prince, reinforcing his lessons. Also, I have used the same lessons Prince and I where taught to use with Angel. I also have my sons Blue Heeler in the house and have being using the lessons with him also. It has not been easy at times with all three wanting to practice and get treats at the same time.
American Eskimo Dogs along with other Spitzen were bred to be companion dogs, and thrive on being a part of a human family. Their history as a small general-purpose and a farm dog means that they are generally highly intelligent, trainable, and moderately independent. At home, they make excellent watchdogs, barking to announce the presence of strangers. The Eskie can be protective of its home and family, but in general they will not threaten to attack or bite a person unless provoked. As with all dogs, temperament is partially inherited and partially trained. Some dogs are prone to excessive barking and separation anxiety. I have not had a problem with Prince or Angel barking excessively.

Prince turning one

Prince is turning a year old tomorrow, and it will be 10 months tomorrow that he had been a member of our family. I have seen quite a few changes in that time. He is just so lovable, and a big ball of fur with his tail curled up on his back.
Prince does not like to have me trim his nails, but the groomers said they do not have a problem with it. I have tried different types of trimmers and so far no luck. He does not like the pedicure that is advertised on television. I even tried the trimmers that would let me know when it was okay to clip, not luck there either.
Angel does not mind the pedicure and maybe it is easier to trim her nails because she is smaller. I do believe she is just starting to come in heat, so Prince has been put in a pen outside for the next three weeks. I feel bad about putting him out there but I have not choice at the moment. I could not put Angel out there because of other dogs in the neighborhood.
If there is a better way to trim Prince's nails I sure would love to find it.

American Eskimos In the South in Warm Weather

Trim

I have decided that trimming Prince and Angel in the warmer months is great. O know it is cooler for them and means less shedding. They seem to really enjoy having less hair as it gets warmer. I think they are prettier with the longer coat, but they need to be as comfortable as possible. I know I do not like being to hot and I can just image how they feel. They are so special to me, I think they deserve the best. I have learned that I am not the only one who decides to trim their America Eskimos in the warmer months.
