Dog Breeds - American Eskimo |
 |
The American Eskimo is a member of the Spitz breed family, very closely related to the German Spitz. The German Spitz was brought to America and renamed during the Second World War because of bitterness towards Germany. The American Eskimo may also be related to the Samoyed and White Keeshond. They are easy to train but should be thoroughly socialized at a young age, and must be trained with respect as they do not respond well to aggressiveness. They may be initially wary of strangers but warm up to them quickly. They love to bark but usually only do so when provoked, and require a lot of attention. This breed typically takes longer to mature emotionally, often keeping puppy traits for approximately 2 years. The American Eskimo is an intelligent breed that can develop behavioral issues if they do not receive enough attention and are not mentally stimulated American Eskimos have drier skin then most breeds and therefore smell less and require fewer bathes.

Pethealth has been fantastic. When Tasha was diagnosed with cancer, it gave me the ability to have her treated with much less concern over the finances. It allows for a much less selfish decision and allowed me to do the right thing for her without thinking about the money. Thank you for the quick way you handled it too. At a time of stress, you made that easy. She lived over a year after her diagnosis and almost all of that was with high life quality thanks to your help. Whoever says pet insurance is not worth it has a lot to learn about Pethealth and 24Petwatch Pet Insurance. Claim Submitted: $4237.71 Claim Paid: $2500.00 (Max for QCIC policy) |
