∙ 8y agoThe American Eskimo Dog was originally the same dog as the German Spitz. However, because of anti-German prejudice after WWI, when these dogs were brought into the United States, they had to be called American Eskimo Dogs or no one would want to buy them. After a century of living on a different continent than their European ancestors, Eskies have started to evolve into a breed all their own.

What was the American Eskimo Dog first bred for?
The American Eskimo is one of the Spitz families of Nordic breeds. They are closely related to the white German Spitz. German Spitz were eventually brought to America, where the name changed to American Eskimo Dog, due to the widespread anti-German feelings during World War I. Today they are known as a separate breed, but are closely related to the German Spitz. Samoyed, the white Keeshond the white Pomeranian and the white Italian Spitz are also said to be related to the American Eskimo Dog. Evidence suggests that "White Spitz" dogs were first brought to the United States by German settlers and despite the name, have nothing to do with the Eskimo culture. The name came about in 1913 when Mr. and Mrs. F.M. Hall first registered the breed with the UKC (United Kennel Club). Their kennel name was "American Eskimo", which became the name of the breed. The Barnum and Bailey circus used the American Eskimo dog in their act. A dog named Stout's Pal Pierre was the first dog ever to walk a tightrope. The popularity of this circus act resulted in the spread of the breed throughout the United States. In 1969 the North American Eskimo Dog Association was formed and the studbooks were closed. The American Eskimo Dog Club of America was formed in 1985 for the purpose of achieving AKC recognition. The AKC recognized the American Eskimo Dog on July 1, 1995. Some of the American Eskimo's talents are watchdog, guarding, narcotics detection, agility, competitive obedience, and performing tricks.
