[net.pets] American Eskimo Dog

djo@sdchema.UUCP (Denise O'jibway) (09/28/85)

Today I saw the cutest puppy.  It was all white and had a curly
tail reminiscent of a husky type dog.  I asked his owner what
breed he was and he said Alaskan Eskimo Dog.  I've never heard
of this breed before.  Does anyone know anything about this 
breed?  I am a great fan of "snow" dogs.  I have an Alaskan
Malamute myself and I'd like to hear anything at all about
this (new to me) breed.  Many thanks.

The American Eskimo dog is NOT an AKC recognized breed (yet) - they are
recognized by other "dog" organizations.  I agree that they are a very
nice looking dog - I have a Sammoyed, which by appearances looks like a
larger version of a AE dog.  I'd suggest you pick up a copy of "Dog
World" (available at larger newstands - or at least in larger pet
shops).  The back advertising area usually has some AE dog ads - I'm
sure the people would be MORE than happy to tell you about their dogs!
