What do you think of American Eskimo's? My uncle had one once and he was a great little dog.



Temperament
The American Eskimo Dog is intelligent, alert, and friendly, although slightly conservative. It is never overly shy nor aggressive, and such dogs are to be severely penalized in the show ring. At home it is an excellent watchdog, sounding a warning bark to announce the arrival of any stranger. It is protective of its home and family, it should never threaten to bite or attack people. The American Eskimo Dog learns new tasks quickly and is eager to please.


They do need regular brushing though to keep their fur from getting matted. It never needs to be trimmed or anything so you should not have to go to the groomers unless you feel like sending it there for a bath or something.
