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. For more information, please contact Lisa: lmmrcaamgmail Danny is a beautiful, goofy love bug. He adores cuddles and will raise his paw to indicate he wants a hug. He's extremely relaxed, loving and gentle with his people. He loves attention and is amazing at the vet and groomer. He is very friendly and well behaved in stores, offices, hotels, and other social situations. He's done great in a house with cats and older kids. He loves car rides and looking out the window. He is very affectionate and a big napper - he will happily sleep at your feet all day if you work from home or are sitting on the couch. Danny came from a county shelter in southern California. We are so happy to get him out of the overcrowded conditions there so he can find his furever home. He was found near a golf course and we don't know about his prior living situation, other than that he was already microchipped and named Danny. Favorites: Adores snuggles and tummy rubs. Loves having his face/cheeks rubbed. Not an early morning doggo. Loves having a small toy tossed in the air for him to catch. Danny is overjoyed when he sees his leash. He loves sitting in front of a fan, his stuffed toys, and nesting in blankets. He loves to sniff on walks and to sit outside in the sunshine. Food: Danny currently eats Nutri Source chicken and rice recipe (canned and dry food mixed). He loves Fruitables Skinny Minis Apple Bacon treats and Bocce's Bakery Dailies Brushy Bites. Training: Danny would benefit from professional training classes. We are working on his leash manners and his manners meeting other dogs - he gets very excited and likes to go up to new friends immediately. We are working on various commands and on staying at the front door when it's opened. He is eager to please! Crate training is in progress - he settles in his crate when he hears a comforting voice (in person or over a camera) but it is not his favorite place to sleep yet. Danny doesn't respond very well to his name, but he responds well to a whistle or other vocal signal. Fully house trained, he hasn't had any accidents. He goes to the back door when he needs to potty (up to 4 times per day). He will let you know if someone is at the door, but he will be quiet and settle if instructed to. He needs a fenced yard or to be on a leash when outside. Danny is 5 years old and weighs 42 pounds.

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.
