Eskimo Information
Susie's Eskimos
kennel
located in scenic rural Ontario, Canada, is devoted to breeding and
raising beautiful, happy and healthy American Eskimo puppies. Our Eskimo
Dogs live in the
country with 50 acres play in. They thrive on the fresh country air and
plenty of bush and trail that they run through for exercise. As highly
responsible breeders, we pride ourselves on both the quality of the
puppies that we produce - and the quality of the homes into which they are
placed. We raise our puppies with lots of love and attention. They are
socialized from birth with both adults and children, producing dogs with
wonderful temperaments that are great with kids. Our dogs make exceptional
family pets - we have some very happy customers with beautiful American
Eskimos! for loving, responsible owners.
We are careful to
ensure that all of our dogs are in good health and free from hereditary
disorders. Puppies are vet-checked, vaccinated and de-wormed before they
are placed with their new owners. We are proud members in good standing of
the National American Eskimo Club of Canada and the United Kennel Club.

What is an
American Eskimo Dog?
American Eskimo Dogs
are often called "Spitz", however, "Spitz" is not a breed of dog, but
rather a group of breeds with similar characteristics. Some of the other
breeds included in the Spitz group are Keeshonden, Finnish Spitz, and
Pomeranians. The preferred nickname for the breed is "Eskie".
American Eskimo Dogs
are highly intelligent and make wonderful companion animals. Eskies have
white or cream colored coats and come in standard (15"-19" - at shoulder),
miniature (12"-15"), and toy (9"-12")
sizes.
Additional Eskimo Information
The American Eskimo Dog breed was developed
in the United States from the Spitzes of Northern Europe. They usually
have distinctive black noses, lips and eyelids. As a Nordic-type dog,
Eskies have a double coat, plume-like curled tail, and erect triangular
ears. They are often mistaken as a small or mixed Samoyed.
The Eskie coat naturally repels dirt and
odor. The amount of coat can vary with age, health, nutrition, and
temperature. Eskies generally shed twice a year with the change of the
seasons. There is some year round shedding, which is minimized by proper
diet and grooming. Regular brushing is recommended to prevent
matting.
American Eskimo Dogs are inherently
companion dogs. They are happiest when they are with their guardians, and
when treated as a family member. Eskies are intelligent, loving, and can
be wonderful watchdogs. They are a long lived breed - some living 18-20
years. Eskies are quick to alert the family of the arrival of strangers at
their house. Properly socialized, Eskies can be excellent with
children.
Eskies require human companionship and
loving attention. They are not a dog to be ignored. Left alone too much
they may become bored, destructive, and bark excessively. Harsh training
techniques are inappropriate for American Eskimo Dogs. They are a
challenging, mentally active, and delightful breed. With positive
reinforcement training and attention, American Eskimo Dogs learn quickly
and are eager to please.

Hello – we thought we should send you an
update on one of your absolutely, positively beautiful puppies – Taz!! I said to
Mike the other day “this wonderful dog is saving your life!” Mike has diabetes
and tends towards high cholesterol but the walks two times per day with his pal
– and they go on very long walks! – is having a wonderful effect on both. And of
course, Taz knows exactly when they are supposed to go and won’t let “Dad”
forget! I think it is great.
We have been very careful with feeding Taz
only his food so he seems very healthy. He gets no human food – except the odd
lettuce leaf which he “jumps” to get. I can’t believe how high he can jump! We
are determined to keep him at his current weight which is just over 20 lbs. He
has such strong legs and is so active. Also, is quite the sweetie! Even the vet
can’t believe how fortunate we are with Taz .Thank you for breeding such
wonderful dogs.

Good Afternoon Sue
I thought that I would drop you a line and give you an update on Kersty.
This dog has totally gone beyond our expectations. She has developed into an
extremely affectionate and friendly pet. We are writing to convey our thanks.

Just a note to let you know that Dosie is a
wonderful addition to our family. She is the most lovable creature we have ever
owned. She is now about 25 pounds and six months old.
She is bright, alert and just as playful as she can
be. She continues to be a climber, with her favorite perch being around our
neck. She fetches and comes to us on a consistent basis. She is house trained
and sleeps in her kennel. She goes to the office with us daily and looks forward
to her day at work.
Dosie craves attention so deeply and must begin each
new day with hugs from both of us. Her ability to climb never ceases to amaze
us. She drags boxes around to use as step stools to her latest find.
Just wanted to update you on our wonderful family
member. Thanks so much for breeding such a delightful creature. We look forward
to enjoying the snow with her.
