For the first time, the name "American Eskimo" was used in 13 years of the twentieth century, when this breed was registered in the joint kennel club. Until 1969, almost no one knew this breed, but soon a national club opened, which set a task - to preserve the breed, after which the breed became known and began to gain popularity. In 1996, ACS included this breed of dogs in an unsportsmanlike group, whose representatives are divided into varieties in size.

Having an American Eskimo will not be easy. First, this dog needs constant physical exercises that support her tone. In this case, it requires a lot of space for games. In the open air these dogs are very cheerful and active, which requires patience from the owner, if possible, the dog can be occupied with something interesting. The Eskimos are very fond of living on a certain regime of the day. In addition, there are difficulties in looking after the appearance. Since they are too active, they can get dirty several times a day, and a lot of garbage will stick to the wool, so they need to constantly bathe and wool the hair. If this is not done, then the wool can build up with lumps. Education is also difficult because of the restless nature of the dog: the Spitz is very shallow and therefore sometimes does not want to perform some commands. But there is a positive moment in all this - these are the living conditions. They can live not only in private homes, but also in the conditions of an ordinary apartment.
