Eskies!

American Eskimo Dogs are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:

#1. "The American Eskimo is a beautiful, small to medium-size Nordic-type of dog, which looks like a miniature Samoyed."
#2. "There are three varieties: the toy, miniature, and standard. That means there is an Eskie for all interests and house sizes."
#3. "It has erect triangular-shaped ears, and a heavily plumed tail curled over the back."
#4. "Good legs and feet allow the Eskie to trot with bold energetic action."
#5. "The profuse coat is always white, or white with biscuit or cream markings. Their skin is pink or gray. Black is the preferred color of their eyelids, gums, nose, and pads. The coat is heavy around the neck, creating a ruff or mane, especially in males. The breed is slightly longer than it is tall. The coat of the American Eskimo should not curl or wave, the undercoat should be thick and plush with the harsher outer coat growing up through it. No colors other than those described above are allowed."
#6. "The American Eskimo is an affectionate, loving dog."
#7. "Hardy and playful, they are excellent with children."
#8. "Charming and alert."
#9. "Because of the dog's high intelligence and their willingness to please, they are easy to train and often rank among the top scorers in obedience trials."
#10. "American Eskimos like to work."
#11. "They are naturally wary of strangers, but once introduced, they become instant friends."
#12. "Height and Weights:
Toy: 9-12 inches (23-30 cm.) 6-10 pounds (2.4-4.5 kg.)

Standad: Over 15 inches (38 cm.) up to 19 inches (48 cm.) 18-35 pounds (8 kg-16 kg.)"
