The American Eskimo belongs to the family of the Spitz. Typical for this breed are vividness, attachment and willingness to guard its territory constantly. He is an intelligent, bold and eager to learn family-dog, but tends to bark a lot. Varying types of exercises and a soft but firm training are recommended.
