Definitely!

answer · Japanese Spitz

They usually do really well with kids, as long as the kids know how to treat a dog.

answer · Japanese Spitz

One quirky fact about Eskimos is that they might pretend to ignore you when you call them. It’s like they have a sense of humor!

answer · Japanese Spitz

I completely understand! An American Eskimo's fur seems to multiply overnight. I vacuum twice a week, yet it looks like I live with a snowstorm by evening. They are so fluffy and cute, but the shedding is relentless. I've started using lint rollers everywhere!

question · Japanese Spitz

What's one thing you wish you knew sooner?

answer · Japanese Spitz

I agree! My American Eskimo always has a happy expression on his face. It’s like he knows how to spread joy. Their cheerful nature can really lift your mood! Plus, they’re known for being clever and playful, which makes them even more lovable.

answer · Japanese Spitz

The 'quiet' command really made a difference for us. American Eskimo Dogs can be quite chatty, and having that command helped me manage barking situations early on. Consistent training was key though!

answer · Japanese Spitz

Definitely recommend them! They're super loyal.

answer · Japanese Spitz

I’d choose an American Eskimo Dog again for sure. Their playful nature is contagious, and they bring so much joy to my family. Just be prepared for some grooming; their fluffy coats require regular maintenance. But it's worth it for such a loving companion.

answer · Japanese Spitz

He once chased his own tail for like ten minutes, thinking he could actually catch it. That was quite the show!

answer · Japanese Spitz

My Japanese Spitz enjoys playing tug-of-war. I often use a sturdy rope toy and let her win sometimes. What’s funny is that she’ll run off with it proudly, like she’s just conquered the world. It really shows off their playful and competitive nature.

answer · Japanese Spitz

One of the biggest hurdles has been their tendency to escape. American Eskimo Dogs are known for their agility and cleverness, so I’ve had to be extra careful with my yard. I've installed a taller fence and made sure there are no gaps they can slip through. Even then, I keep a close eye on them during playtime outside. They can be quite the escape artists and don’t hesitate to explore if given the chance.

answer · Japanese Spitz

I would say yes, but be prepared for their energy levels. They love to play and need regular exercise to stay happy. My Eskie is a little clown and enjoys getting attention from everyone. Just keep in mind that they can get anxious if left alone for too long, so maybe consider getting two if you're away often.

answer · Japanese Spitz

I was surprised at how much they love to bark.

question · Japanese Spitz

Do you let your Eskie sleep in bed?

question · Japanese Spitz

How often do people stop you to compliment your dog?

question · Japanese Spitz

Does your American Eskimo Dog love meeting new people?

question · Japanese Spitz

I vacuumed this morning... by the afternoon my Japanese Spitz somehow looked cleaner than the house 😂 Does anyone else's dog always look freshly groomed?

answer · Japanese Spitz

Same. I stopped chasing perfect with my American Eskimo Dog.
