Meet the American Eskimo Pup
To each, his or her, own dog. That might not necessarily make sense to many people who live dog-less, but it is nevertheless true that every dog owner believes his, or her, own dog or puppy to be the best, the cutest, the most intelligent, the friendliest dog etc. The list goes on and on, so let me make it short by saying that I believe my very own 10 month old American Eskimo puppy to be the cutest, the most intelligent, and the most stand-up comedic dog!
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!
If you´re looking to become the proud owner of an American Eskimo puppy, there are a few facts that you might want to look at before proceeding any further. It´s always best to find out beforehand whether an American Eskimo puppy is the best breed of dog for you, or whether you might be better off with an Afghan hound or a Boxer.
Owning an American Eskimo puppy is not everybody´s cup of tea, and finding out that it is an average shedder, for instance, is very important for people who are allergic to dog hairs. It is also important to note that the coat of your American Eskimo puppy will need to be groomed on an average about twice a week normally, and about once a day when they are shedding.
Take note that if you let the grooming lapse, this breed can and will shed its un-brushed hairs without compunction, so you will need to groom these dogs.
You will also find that your cute and adorable American Eskimo puppy is also very intelligent and can be easily trained. They are a rambunctious and playful breed of dog, and need to be exercised regularly. The American Eskimo puppy is also suited for apartment living as long as you remember to exercise it properly.
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!
