- Appearance
The American Eskimo Dog, a loving
companion dog, presents a picture of strength and agility, alertness and beauty.
It is a small to medium-size Nordic type dog, always white, or white with
biscuit cream. The American Eskimo Dog is compactly built and well balanced,
with good substance, and an alert, smooth gait. The face is Nordic type with
erect triangular shaped ears, and distinctive black points (lips, nose, and eye
rims). The white double coat consists of a short, dense undercoat, with a longer
guard hair growing through it forming the outer coat, which is straight with no
curl or wave. The coat is thicker and longer around the neck and chest forming a
lion-like ruff, which is more noticeable on dogs than on bitches. The rump and
hind legs down to the hocks are also covered with thicker, longer hair forming
the characteristic breeches. The richly plumed tail is carried loosely on the
back.
