American Eskimo Dog Appearance

The American Eskimo Dog comes in three sizes, and this includes the toy American Eskimo Dog, the miniature American Eskimo Dog, and the standard American Eskimo Dog. The toy is around 9-12 inches in height, and weighs in at around 6-10 pounds. The miniature version is around 12-15 inches in height, and weighs around 10-20 pounds, and the standard is around 15-19 inches in height, and weighs in at around 25-35 pounds.

The coloring of all American Eskimo Dogs is white or biscuit cream, and the coat is straight and harsh with a dense, softer undercoat. Some have blue eyes, and these also tend to have a tendency for deafness. These dogs are heavy shedders, and therefore not best suited to those with allergies. Grooming will involve brushing around twice a week, although this will have to be stepped up at the times of the year when his shedding is heaviest.
