The American Eskimo looks a lot like the samoyed, except much, much smaller. American Eskimos are animated and always look like they’re smiling. They can be hesitant around new people, but once they’ve been socialized, they’re the life of the party.
They’re not the kind of breed that tolerates being an accessory to family life. An Eskie demands to be in the middle of it. As long as you’re happy to include them in family activities and invest time in their training, you’ll be rewarded with an eager-to-please, energetic best buddy. Plus, their snow-white fur and jet-black features are so eye-catching that you’re guaranteed to get passersby stopping to ask for a picture.
