Hello all! Please help if you can, I would appreciate advice. I am looking to adopt an adult. I have narrowed it down to either an Eskie or a Keeshond. I have read that Eskies have a higher energy level than Keeshonds, and they require lots of exercise or they will become destructive. I would keep it strictly indoors, but take it out for play time, walks, trips, and obedience classes. It would be left alone for six hours a day, four days a week (safe area with crate, chew toys, water). Any advice? Thank you!! Please feel free to email me at: eaphillips@novanthealth.org Thanks, Erinn

I have a 9 year old American Eskimo that we have had since it was one. He has been housebroken since we adopted him but ever since my husband and I moved in together he started having accidents in the house. This has become more and more frequent and even if we go outside to sit for a half hour, he will go in the house. The only solution we have come up with is treating him like a puppy and crating him. This works but we would like to find a long term solution of housebreaking him.

I am 17 and me and my boyfriend are in search for 2 hybrid wolf puppies a male and a female around the age of 4-8 weeks. Are willing to pay. I am looking for certain colors in the dog so if anyone knows anyone that owns some that they are selling or giving away please e-mail me with information and pictures at sugar_muffin16@excite.com. Thank you and I hope to hear alot of replies soon.

I have 2 litters that will be here in May and June 2003. If you are interested contact me. Website is: http://www.geocities.com/browns_eskies/

I just received a phone call about a two-year old male standard. His family is unable to keep him because of a new baby on the way. He is neutered, housebroken, friendly and up to date on his shots.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have 6 healthy pups. They are 4 weeks old and mom and dad are doing great also.

i might be adopting an eskie from american eskimo dog rescue. i don't know when. my parents are still deciding. i'm so excited!! i'm not that familiar with the breed so can someone please tell me a little bit about them before i go and get one?? thankx!

I am planning on adopting a eskie from Hearts Bandit Rescue in Connecticut. I was wondering if anyone has ever adopted from them and knows if they are good dogs? (health and personality) Also Im not too familier with the breed and was wondering if there are some things I should know about them before I adopt one? Thank You very much and feel free to email me with any information you have.

I have a 6 year old "sweetheart" American Eskimo - he does not have papers as we adopted him ourselves.

We are relocating out west and need to find a good home for him. His name is D.J. He loves animals of all kinds, yes even kitty cats.

We believe he was abused but he has been our pride and joy little "boy" since we brought him home.

If you are willing to give him lots of love we would love to have you adopt him. We will bring him to you to see and meet - Serious inquiries only please.

I have what I believe is an American Eskimo Dog. She is almost 2 years old and we rescued her from the pound when she was a few months old. She was very skinny and for a long time we couldnt get her past 17 pounds. Suddenly her weight bursted up and now she weighs 35 pounds.

She is 15 inches tall and my question is... What should an Eskie weigh when they are 15"???? She looks like she is really overweight but I dont want to make her too skinny.

What is a reasonable weight to aim for???

THANKS!

please help !!! i/we need ALL the advice, tips input etcc... i can get. i recently purchased an american eskimo puppy about 3 weeks ago. he will be 4 mos soon.( i did not personally know the breeder but his papers go back for 3 generations and all are registered with the ukc) I am new to dogs (i have 2 cats, 3 kids and 1 husband) we are having a ball (sort of) but we are at a loss as far as a few issues,potty training, not biting, obidience training etc... I think that the behaviors he exhibits are all age appropriate, but i would still like to elimnate the inappropriate ones before he gets big. he is very friendly outside and with strangers etc.. but he likes to bite, nibble, chew, at home,(OUCH) when he gets excited and wants to play (he doesnt know how to "not hurt" (bite inhibition) he gets carried away, or when he wants to go to the bathroom.~ ALSO, potty training, he does pretty good, but after 2 1/2 weeks, still has abt 2 wee wee accidents/day. we have a crate, but still, he has

I have a 7 week old male ekimo and Im thinking if taking in a year old male min. eskimo. I was wandering if this a good idea. Will there be any problems between the two. Please let me know if this a good idea. Thanks.

Hi I was wondering if anyone has eskies who can climb? I have 2 females who can climb a 6 foot chain link fence and a wooded fence. Does anyone have eskies who do weird things or just unusal things. I have an eskie who will stand on her hind legs and prays. Would love to hear interesting things that your eskies can do.

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question :-)!

I know the measurments for the size of an eskimo according to the breed standard, but have never seen one in person to judge their size.

What other medium breeds of dog can you compare the size of an adult *Standard Male* eskimo to? Are they more border collie sized? Keeshond sized?

Does anyone know any stores or websites that sell Eskie Merchandise?

In pet stores I have seen cookie jars, key chains, shirts, and stuffed animals of so many different dog breeds- but no eskies!

In dog catalogs I have seen wind chimes, snow globes, mouse pads, lawn ornaments, etc. of so many different dog breeds- but no eskies!

In gift shops I have seen statues and figurines of so many different dog breeds- but still no eskies!

Where can I find some eskie merchandise? I am especially looking for a stuffed animal, lawn ornaments, and wind chimes.

I am really glad to see new people posting on the board. The board has been really quiet. Would love to see more posts. Would love to see people askin questions and getting answers. Or just talkin about there experiences with the american eskimos. Hope to see more posts.

I have never known a breed of dog to be more addictive than the American Eskimo! Although I have yet to own one, I have been hooked on this breed since my first encounter with one a bit over a year ago. Ive loved other breeds before, but no other breed has fascinated me in such a way as the eskie has. My first eskie encounter was at a pet store. Me and my boyfriend were picking up ferret bedding (note: we no longer shop at pet stores that sell animals) and were looking at the dogs. While I was looking at a border collie puppy, my boyfriend pointed out that a little white fuzzy puppy was trying its hardest to get my attention. I looked at the cage below and there he was pawing at the cage and jumping up and down while staring directly at me! His cage tag said he was an American Eskimo Dog. Everywhere I moved, this dogs eyes followed. Boy did he panick in that cage as I walked out of the store later. It was so heartbreaking leaving him. I immediately went home and started looking up info

can anyone help me with ideas on making my eskie more friendly? he is a one year old mail who tries to bite anyone not living in my home. i would like to be able to take him for grooming and other activities away from home but he barks and growls at everyone. anyone with any ideas please let me know.

Im looking for a male American Eskimo puppy. I would love to try to find one that was born on 6-8-00. That is the day that my American Eskimo (Rumples) of almost 13 years passed away. Thank you.

Is it wise to trust a breeder who only charges $250.00 for purebred UKC registered American Eskimos? In my search for a reputable eskie breeder, Ive seen prices range from $650.00 to $1,000.00 but this is the only one Ive seen with such ridiculously low prices. I feel they are probably backyard breeders claiming to have great dogs, but Id like to hear from other people with eskie breeder experience before I jump to any conclusions. Thanks a ton!

Please e-mail me with info.

I TELL HIM TO LET GO BUT WOULD NOT. IM AFRAID IF I DONT TRAIN HIM NOW HE WONT STOP. I APPRICIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS.

want a male standard for family pet.

will be neutering. good temper.

Peco is a gorgeous, 2 year old, neutered male Eskie. His owners had a new baby and no time for him anymore so they nearly put him into a shelter. The owners are distantly related to a volunteer for Second Chance Boxer Rescue and she couldnt let this sweetie go to a shelter. Peco is wonderful with kids and most other dogs. He does have an issue with the other dog in his adoptive home, which is a standard Poodle. His foster home had a Boxer and a German Shepard of which he got along great with. He spent time with my three dogs, a spitz and two Boxers without one issue. He is now retuning into foster care, and desperately needs a home. If you are interested in Peco, please visit our website at www.secondchanceboxer.com. Peco is currently being fostered in Buffalo, NY. He is a wonderful boy, will you be his new Mamma this Mothers Day?

I am wondering if there is a websight or a place where I can get more information on the Eski-Poo, a cross breed between an American Eskimo and Poodle. I have a dog that is this breed and she is the best dog I have ever owned, personality wise and beauty wise. She is very smart and full of personality and Im wondering if this is a common mix of the eskimo. Any info would be appreciated......thanks......Tim

Im taking my eskie to a professional groomer for the first time. Im debating about getting his coat trimmed. What is the normal professional grooming procedure for eskies? Does anyone trim their ekie?

We have a 2 y/o male eskie we love very much and he is great with our 7 y/o daughter and our 3 y/o cat. My wife wants to get a english or irish setter puppy. I am concerned how they will get along. Any thoughts?

July seems to be "dunp your dog month", and our national breed rescue organization (HEARTBANDITS) is having a VERY difficult time trying to keep up with all the perfectly beautiful, well mannered, healthy, and often very young dogs in URGENT need of both foster care and permanent, loving homes! From Southern California to Maine,if you have room in your heart and home for an abandoned but deserving little Eskie (to foster or adopt) PLEASE E-Mail us today! Heartbanditsmail@aol.com

First of all, it is better to get your dog fixed. Once aggressive behavior is developped, it is very difficult to get it out. YOU HAVE TO BE FIRM with your eskie. it will take a while. For example when your eskies growls at people or at you, be firm on saying NO. Dont let your ekie be dominant. when he or she stop growling, praise that and give him a treat. Always remember, treat when the dog has worked for it... About company, bring people home more often, keeping all safety ofcourse, and little by little he will learn to be sociable. Have him also play with other dogs. that will work well. remember, he is like a problem child. remember not too be too tender, only be firm, but kind and decisive. eskies learn fast with positive reinforcement.

Is there anyone out their who knows of a good web sight that shows step by step how to obediance train your dog . I would like to be abel to provide this information to new Eskie owners. Thanks for your help.

I have a male PR with an exceptional temperament I wish to breed. We are located in North Carolina. Can anyone recommned other resources where I might find a female to breed with?

I have a UKC Purple Ribbon Pedigree male named Tigger. Tigger has an exceptionally good personality and I wish to breed him in hopes of getting another dog of similar temperament. Tigger is in North Carolina and will consider reasonable travel if necessary. Please E-Mail if interested.

We have adopted two eskie-cocker mix puppies. Are American Eskimo dogs likely to pack or cause more trouble if there are two of them?

We have adopted two puppies. The family who owns the mother says she is a "minature spitz," which I have learned can mean anything. The father is a cocker spaniel. According to the pictures Ive found,the mother most closely resembles a small American Eskimo dog. I was curious to see if anyone else had heard of this breed.

I am in love with these dogs. I live in Southern California and I would love to be able to make a home for a one of these dogs. If anyone has a puppy or if you can help me find a breeder I would appreciate it very much. Please email debsrugrats@aol.com. Thank You.

I am looking for an adult male UKC. Must be Purple Ribbon and in Illinois. We have a female and are looking to breed. Any information or help would be appreciated. Thank you.

My parents have had an American Eskimo for over two years now, and I love it. So, when a woman in my Moms office had six puppies over Christmas break, I had to go see what they were like at 5 days old. Beautiful! Sweetest little things ever.

Anyway, about two hours ago, my Mom called to tell me that the woman wants to give me one for free. She had been charging something like $400 before, which I cant afford, but she is unhappy with the people who have come to look at them so she wants to give me one for free.

Sounds terrible right? Yeh, I thought so too. Id love to have a dog and Ive never met a better breed than the Eskie, but I have a few concerns. The problem is, Im about to graduate from college in May, and Im not sure where life is going to take me. Id like to do some traveling maybe, see the country, and aside from a few short car trips with my parents Eskie, Im just sure how the dog would handle a long time on the road. Has anyone done any traveling with

I have a 2-year old male Eskie, neutered, and healthy. But I was having a discussion with a schnauwzer breeder who is a friend of mine. She said I need to be feeding a better dog food to guarantee a long and healthy life for my Eskie. He weighs about 18 pounds. He is very active, but I am curious what other owners feed their dogs. My parents raised shelties for years and we only fed Ken-l-ration Biskit. That product is no longer made. Anyone out there have any good suggestions? Right now he and my other three dogs (other breeds) are on Pedigree dry Lamb with veggies. Thanks for your help.

We would like to know if American Eskimo Dogs are ok with children. We are considering one and have been told that they are not reommended for people with children. Thanks.

Actually males are great with eachother it is the females you have to worry about. i have two american eskimos 8 years old the male is great with my new puppy i have. my granny also has an american eskimo male and he is the same way. actually they get some what protective of eachother. good luck

yes, I have had several eskies that climb chain link fencing! And they dance too.
