The American Eskimo Dog: A great dog for the family
The American Eskimo Dog is a relative of the German Spitz. It is a cute little snow ball of a dog that comes in three varieties: standard, toy, and miniature. The standard usually grows to be between 15 and 19 inches tall and can weigh up to 35 pounds. The miniature variation of this breed grows to be between 12 and 15 inches tall and can weigh up to 20 pounds. The toy version of this breed only gets to be about 12 inches tall and only weighs up to 10 pounds. All versions of this breed have a white or cream coat that is long, fluffy, and dense. Some of the health issues you will want to look out for include progressive retinal atrophy and hip dysplasia.
