Hi. I saw your post. American Eskimo Dogs make a great pet. But you also want to make sure that you get one with the right temperment. There are 3 sizes to the eskies which are toy, miniature and standard. I was raised with a standard but now I have the miniatures. They do shed. What exactly are you wanting to know. I do raise them. They are great with kids. Protective of there family and home. They are easily trained. Mine love the water. They swim with the kids. During the summer they need lots of water. If you have some specific questions please feel free to ask on this board or email me at A.eskie@netzero.net.

thanx i just wanted to know their tempermant and you can e mail me at doglover45678@hotmail.com with more info. i live on long island in ny so please tell me(if you know any) where i could find shelters here. thanx.

This is to dglv45. I am going to be adopting an eskie to! But I don't know when either. See, my mom won't let us until our old dog has to be put down, which is going to be soon. dglv45 please email me, k? My name is Amanda, and my email is skittles07@bellsouth.net Hope to hear from you!
