American Eskimo Dog Forum:
Help about Eskie Weight!!!

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!

Hi I have american eskimos. First are you sure of the size? If so you have a miniature which is what I have. She should be between 10 - 20 pounds. You say that you got her from the shelter has she been fixed? Have you taken her to the vet? If she is not fixed there might be the possiblity of her being pregnant. Is she acting funny in any way? Also so you know if she is purebred? Is she purewhite? Do you know how old she is? Sorry for asking so many questions. I will help all I can. Feel free to email me. Just click on my name and you can email me.
