History of American Eskimo Dog breed

The American Eskimo Dog is strongly connected to the White German Spitz. The latter was brought to the United States and name was changed to American Eskimo Dog. They were initially bred to guard people and properties, therefore, they are territorial by nature. They are also brave watchdogs that human can definitely count on. However, they aren’t considered as an aggressive breed but because they are valiant watchdogs, American Eskimo dogs are generally vocal. They will certainly bark at strangers who come close to their owners or owners’ properties. In Northern Europe, the small Spitz were ultimately developed into different German Spitz breeds. Immigrants from Europe brought their pets to America. Although white was not always the color of the breed, it was actually the preferred one in the US. To show patriotism during World War I, owners began referring to them as American Spitz instead of German Spitz. After the war, the breed became popular in circus and were always featured. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1995. It was also recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club but not elsewhere in the world. It is not exclusively an international dog. The German Spitz and American Eskimo are always incorporated with each other. Some parts of the America still call this breed as the German Spitz. But both breeds were separately developed since the American Eskimo was relocated in the northern part of America. Thus the breed was broaden.
