American Eskimo Dog

  
The American Eskimo is a small to medium-size Nordic-type dog. The breed is a well-balanced model of the working type Spitz dog, ranging in size from 11 to 19 inches from foot to wither. Two sizes are recognized by the UKC: Miniature & Standard, with the miniature versions usually weighing between 13-20lbs and the standard versions normally weighing between 21-38lbs. The body is very well proportioned. The length of body from point of shoulder to the point of buttocks is the same as the height from withers to ground, presenting an overall stout appearance. The head is fox-like with erect triangular ears, and readily distinguished black or deep brown points (nose, lips, and eye rims). The American Eskimo has a thick, white or cream double coat. The chest, neck, and forepart of the shoulders are covered with a lion-like mane, which is more prominent in males than females. The backs of the forelegs are nicely feathered. The rump and hind legs down to the hock are covered with thick hair that forms the characteristic “trousers.”
