Description
Dog Breed: American Eskimo Dog. Please Note: This animal is listed as a courtesy to another organization or individual. Please be sure to contact the foster/caretaker for more information about him/her. Teddy is such a sweet soul. Yes, a bit hyped up as a young boy, but a sweet boy who loves a good cuddle and brushing session. Teddy came to us as a 5 month old who had only known the life of a barn stall in a breeding facility. He didn't even know what grass was, and had never seen the inside of a home. He has come so far! He needs to find a person who can realistically give him the time and training he needs and deserves. He is crate trained (he loves chewing everything if not supervised must have a crate away from anything that could enter the bars) and really has only had one or two accidents outside of the crate since he came to live with us. I would not recommend giving him free rein of a home as he would be into everything! He does well and quickly makes friends with other people's dogs, and cats! We do have a fenced yard, but he also has done well with us on river vacations off lease with electric invisible fencing collar. He loves digging in the sand and swimming. He loves to get down and dirty when he gets a chance! He is a pleaser and fairly submissive. We have worked some with sit, he is smart and seems to pick up on things quickly. I would love to find him a home where he can be the center of attention and really get the training he needs. I am located in Westernport, Maryland. Anyone with dog experience (Eskie experience is a plus) is welcome to contact me to discuss Teddy and arrange a meet and greet. He will need a fenced yard. He needs a secure home where he can soak up some outdoor time. A vet references is also a must. I also would like to know he is an indoor pet, not back in a horse stall like his early months of life.

Overview:
The American Eskimo Dog, often affectionately called an "Eskie," is a charming and intelligent spitz-type breed originating from Germany, despite its misleading name. These beautiful dogs come in three sizes—toy, miniature, and standard—all boasting a striking white double coat, erect ears, and a plumed tail curled over their back. Known for their alert and friendly disposition, Eskies are highly trainable and excel in activities like agility and obedience, reflecting their history as circus performers. Their energetic and playful nature makes them wonderful family companions, though early socialization and consistent training are crucial. While adaptable to apartment living if given sufficient exercise, they thrive with a yard and an active lifestyle. Owners should be mindful of potential health issues such as hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and luxating patellas. With proper care and attention, American Eskimo Dogs are loyal, loving pets that bring joy to their families.
