Canadian Eskimo Dog Pictures and InformationCanadian Eskimo Dog Description
With the invention of the snowmobile, which proved to be a faster and more efficient means of transportation, the Canadian Eskimo Dog dwindled in population. By the 1970s the breed was on the verge of extinction. Despite the efforts of the Canadian Eskimo Dog Kennel Club and others the breed is still in danger. A breed that was once a must for survival is now considered a very rare breed. There are only 279 registered Canadian Eskimo Dogs. The breed now is most commonly used as a companion dog. Breed enthusiasts continue to use the dogs in sled races. Also Known AsCanadian Inuit Dog TemperamentThe Canadian Eskimo Dog is considered a very loyal breed who tends to bond with its owner deeply. They are an affectionate breed. The breed is also very intelligent and alert. In a household with children a Canadian Eskimo Dog can easily become over-excited, and is not recommended. Health ProblemsThe most common health problem for the Canadian Eskimo Dog is heat stroke. The breed does not adjust well to warm climates. Also, warm climates often equal many different forms of allergens that can affect a Canadian Eskimo Dog’s health. As with any large breed of dog, hip dysplasia can be quite common. ExerciseCanadian Eskimo Dogs require a good deal of exercise. Simple walking will not suffice. They are a highly energetic breed that needs heavy amounts of physical activity. They are easily trained and submissive which makes them well suited for many dog sports. These sports can offer the proper amount of exercise the breed requires. Special GroomingA Canadian Eskimo Dog’s coat is fairly easy to care for. Light brushing is recommended once a week during non-shedding months. During shedding months, a Canadian Eskimo Dog needs to be brushed once a day.
