To each, his or her, own dog. That statement might not make any sense to a person without a dog, but it is nonetheless true that all dog owners believe that their dog is the cutest, most adorable and the friendliest dog, etc. The list is endless but let me cut it short by saying that I have a 10 month old American Eskimo puppy and it is the best, the most adorable, the most intellectually gifted and the most stand-up comedic dog in the world.
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!
There are certain facts that you need to know if you want to become an owner of an American Eskimo dog. First of all it is important that you find out beforehand whether you really want to own an American Eskimo puppy. If that is not the case you may be better off with a Boxer or an Afghan hound.
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.
You should understand that in case there is some lapse in the grooming process this breed of dogs will shed its un-brushed hairs without any compunction.
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!
