About american eskimo dogs
The American Eskimo Dog affectionately called the “Eskie,” is neither American nor Eskimo – they descended from the German Spitz and were brought to America by European immigrants. In the 1930s, they were trained by the circus to walk tight-ropes and sold as pets after the shows.
