American Eskimo Puppy

By Lashanda Gaeddert


To each, his or her, own dog. That statement might not make any sense to a person without a dog, but it is nonetheless true that all dog owners believe that their dog is the cutest, most adorable and the friendliest dog, etc. The list is endless but let me cut it short by saying that I have a 10 month old American Eskimo puppy and it is the best, the most adorable, the most intellectually gifted and the most stand-up comedic dog in the world.

That's right, I've coined what might be a new phrase in the land of dogdom, however I don't expect it to go further than my very own American Eskimo puppy. From the very first day we brought her home, to this day it's been one riot (of laughter by the way) after another. Like I said it started the very first day, when she fell into her pint-sized tub of milk. Now that's she's older and larger it's sometimes difficult to believe that she was ever that small, but luckily I have pictures!

Before proceeding further and getting an American Eskimo for yourself, it is important that you come across certain facts related to American Eskimo puppies. It is very important that you decide whether you really want an American Eskimo puppy or you can make do with a Boxer or an Afghan hound.

Being a proud owner of an American Eskimo puppy is not an easy task, and also knowing that an American Eskimo dog is an average shedder is very much necessary for people with allergies to dog hair. You should also understand that you American Eskimo puppy requires a lot of grooming. It needs to be groomed at least twice a week normally and generally once a day during shedding.

You should understand that in case there is some lapse in the grooming process this breed of dogs will shed its un-brushed hairs without any compunction.

One thing that you will find out while owning an American Eskimo puppy is that these dogs are very intelligent and respond to training in a much better manner than other dogs. Exercise is important for this breed of dogs, and they are generally very playful. You can also keep your Eskimo puppy in an apartment without any kind of hassles as long as you have set exercise regime for your puppy.

If handled properly, and people-trained when they are still young, your American Eskimo puppy will be a great asset to you, and a loyal companion. The best thing that I love about these dogs however, is the small swagger they have when they're walking, as if the thickish mane of fur around their necks leads them to believe they are the lions of the dog world!
