Assuming that she is on regular adult dog food, you seem to be doing everything correctly. If she is still on puppy food, it could explain her weight gain. You could switch her to diet dog food. It

Eskios generally live for 15-16 years of age as far as i know. your ekie lived a longg life =]

I have a male miniature eskie who lives indoors. We have hardwoods, and it looks like white tumbleweed!! I sweep several times a week to keep it under control. He's well worth the effort, though.

that isn't when they cry, its the type of water you use. waters with iron can cause this. Try getting distilled water. it should clear up.

I don't know the answer to that yet, but my eskie has caught and killed many mice and chipmunks, six squirrels, one young hedgehog and a Canada Goose! He hunts tirelessly on walks and would rather hun

Their noses can turn brown, with age and wear. As long as the outside is still black it's okay, we're looking to breed our 6 year old female for the last time, what state are you in?

well to be honest I'm not sure. If you bought your eskimo from someone I would see if they have any health issues, my eskimo was allergic to fleas and that made her loose her hair hope your eskimo get

not particularly because of their thick coat, in the summer or hot days they tend to pant alot more then most breeds I owned an eskimo for 15 years and I'm still learning about them they are adorable

This is not a cross breed. It is recognized by the AKC.

Pee pee issues can sometimes indicate a urinary tract infection.

They do not produce as much dander as other breeds and some consider them hypo-allergenic because of that......I guess it would depend on how severe your dog allergy is...

My eskie likes water he can walk into like lakes and ponds. He doesn't like the swimming pool because he has to jump into it. He only jumped in once last summer. He was a year old then.

So does my dog miniature eskie. I just buy cheap toys and ones that he can't destroy. As long as he is happy.

Watch Cesar Milan, Dog Whisperer. He has GREAT training suggestions. It is joy to watch him. Here are some basic suggestions. Do not allow the behavior to escalate to barking, let alone biting. W

I finally broke down and bought Angel Eyes and fed my eskie about 1/2 - 3/4 of the recommended dose for a couple of weeks and the tearing problem and stains disappeared. Now I only give it to her ab

My Eskie was very aggressive towards my cats when I first got him. In about two weeks they had reached some kind of agreement and now all is peaceful. Cats can handle themselves better than a bird,

The breed standard only allows white.

My spitz gets along with other dogs as long as they are not aggressive. If they are aggressive towards her she will put them in their place.

If you want the hair to stand up you need to comb it tail to head, instead of head to tail.

I have 3 American Eskimo dogs, and our oldest one, Trixie, barely tolerates our cat, Chance. The middle one, Rocky, totally ignores the cat, while our youngest one, Dakota, is extremely tolerant of t

I personally think that they would do better if the could be inside and not kept outside. I say this because after a few minutes outside in the summer our dog looks like the heat is getting to her.

This actually fits the description of a Schipperke; they are a cousin of the American Eskimo Dog who is similar in temperament and build.

When we got our puppy, it had bad stains under his eyes, the vet said that there was nothing to do. I did my research and I read that well water, food coloring (especially red), and fleas can cause th

Blissfully yes. Mine took about a year and half to out grow the shoes. They still can't resist a towel or a sock!!

My American Eskie loves being outdoors esp. if she has toys to play with and can run freely. At night she snuggles in bed with me as she is exhausted from her daily play.

My first American Eskimo had a thinner coat and would shed in clumps also. Her shedding was worse in spring and autumn. She was also allergic to grass but it was unknown if that had anything to her t

My american eskimo can be very timid at times. He has a few things that he is afraid of which i find weird. Simple things like my car keys, the tile floor, baloons, and pretty much anything with a whe

It seems it is time for the "puppy ugly stage" where the puppy loses its hair around the 4 month period and gets its adult hair at about 8 months of age

Ours is safe around all kids he dose have lots of energy and will sniff and lick the newborn but like all dogs you should watch and make sure they act OK together

I have 2 American Eskimo sisters, one is very fluffy and the other has a much smoother, non-fluffy coat. They are a year and a half now and it appears they will be staying this way. I love them eith

yes they are ok with cats. I have four cats and adopted a 4 yr old Eskie and she is fine with them.

I have seen females loose their coat after giving birth.

I find that my male has dominance issues at first with all new dogs. Not forwardly aggressive, but will growl if he feels uncomfortable. He lives with 3 other dogs of mine, that are different breeds a

Our 13 year old has the same problems. She will just freeze in place for seconds to a minute without moving. She was diagnosed with dementia by our vet but also has cancer and internal organ issues. .
