The "Eskie" is a bright white, smiling spitz with a big personality. Below is an honest look at what living with one is like in South Florida, so you can decide if an Eskie is the right dog for your family.

About the American Eskimo Dog

Despite the name, the American Eskimo Dog was developed in the United States from German spitz dogs, and it became famous as a circus performer in the early 1900s. That history shows: Eskies are clever, quick to learn tricks and love an audience.

  • Size and weight

    The American Eskimo Dog size depends on the variety. The breed comes in three sizes under the AKC standard:

    • Toy: about 9 to 12 inches at the shoulder and 6 to 10 pounds
    • Miniature: about 12 to 15 inches and 10 to 20 pounds
    • Standard: about 15 to 19 inches and 25 to 35 pounds

    Ask which variety a puppy's parents are, since that tells you the most about adult size.

  • Temperament

    The American Eskimo Dog temperament is outgoing, alert and very attached to family. Eskies are smart and eager to learn, but they can be wary of strangers and are quick to bark at anything new. That makes them good watchdogs, and it means early socialization and quiet-time training matter.

  • Energy and exercise

    Eskies are active and get bored easily. Plan on daily walks plus play and training games, roughly 30 to 60 minutes a day depending on the variety. A bored Eskie will find its own entertainment, usually by barking or chewing.

  • Grooming and shedding

    This is a heavy shedder. The thick white double coat sheds all year and "blows" heavily about twice a year. Brush several times a week, and daily during heavy sheds. The Eskie is not a low-shedding breed, so it is not a good fit for people with allergies.

  • Lifespan

    American Eskimo Dogs typically live about 13 to 15 years, which is a long commitment worth planning for.

Think an Eskie might fit your family?

Is an American Eskimo Dog right for your Miami home?

Be honest with yourself about the heat. The Eskie was built for cooler weather, and that dense coat holds heat in a Miami summer. An Eskie here needs air conditioning, walks in the early morning and evening only, shade and plenty of water. Never shave the coat to "cool" the dog, because the coat also protects the skin from sun.

Caring for your American Eskimo Dog puppy

Start with a steady routine: meals at the same times and trips outside after eating, napping and playing. Eskies are smart and usually housebreak well with consistency and praise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Petland Miami have American Eskimo Dog puppies for sale?

Petland Miami's puppies change every week, and any American Eskimo Dog puppies in stock show first on this page. If there isn't one in the store today, call (305) 363-6959 or use the inquiry form, and a Pet Counselor will check with our breeders for you. Families who love the Eskie often look at the Pomeranian too.

How big does an American Eskimo Dog get?

An American Eskimo Dog grows to 6 to 35 pounds depending on its variety. Toys stand about 9 to 12 inches and weigh 6 to 10 pounds, miniatures stand 12 to 15 inches and weigh 10 to 20 pounds, and standards stand 15 to 19 inches and weigh 25 to 35 pounds. The parents' variety is the best guide.

Can an American Eskimo Dog live in Miami heat?

An American Eskimo Dog can live in Miami, but its thick double coat makes it sensitive to heat. Keep it in air conditioning, walk only in the early morning or evening, and provide shade and water. Do not shave the coat. Petland Miami's Pet Counselors can suggest easier-coated breeds if heat is a concern.

Do American Eskimo Dogs bark a lot?

Yes, American Eskimo Dogs tend to bark a lot because they are alert watchdogs that react to new sounds and people. Early training, rewarding quiet behavior and plenty of daily exercise help. If you live in a Miami condo with close neighbors, plan to work on barking from the first week home.

Do American Eskimo Dogs shed?

Yes, American Eskimo Dogs shed heavily all year and blow their coat about twice a year. Brushing several times a week keeps it manageable. They are not a good choice for people with allergies. Petland Miami can suggest low-shedding breeds like the Maltese or Havanese, which are often better tolerated by people with allergies.

Is Petland Miami an American Eskimo Dog breeder?

No, Petland Miami is a pet store in Kendall, not an American Eskimo Dog breeder. Our puppies come from USDA-licensed breeders with no direct violations and select hobby breeders, named on our Petland Cares page. Miami-Dade County requires the breeder's name and address for every puppy, and you can ask to see it.
