The American Eskimo is a charming, affectionate and loving dog. Hardy and playful, they are excellent with children. Highly intelligent and willing to please. Alert and easy to train, the American Eskimo often ranks among the top scorers in obedience trials. Some individuals have a willful streak, but most like to work. They are naturally wary of strangers, but once introduced, they become instant friends. Eskimos need to be part of the family and engage in nuisance activities when isolated. Handle them gently, but firmly.
