American Eagle Dog

The word American in the name of this breed comes from its parent breed name, the American Eskimo Dog; it does not refer to where it originated from. With limited information available about the new hybrid we must assume it has the best features of both parent breeds. The American Eskimo dog is a member of the Spitz family, which are Nordic dogs with fox-like faces and profuse coats. The true origin of the American Eskimo dog is unknown except for the fact that small white Spitz type dogs were commonly found in German immigrant communities and became known as the American Spitz dogs. They became a popular entertainer in many circuses travelling throughout America in the 19th Century. In 1917, they were renamed the American Eskimo dog, although no one seems to know why. They have winning looks and personality, they are clever, and active. In the 1500s the Beagle was first noted in the history books. They were popular dogs for the English hunters who would take packs of these dogs out tracking down rabbits, hare, pheasant, and other small animals. It is thought that they originated from a cross between a Harrier and other English hounds. The Beagle has an excellent nose for tracking and has been used in modern times as a narcotics detection dog. They make great family pets and are very popular companion dogs. The new hybrid gives a new take on the coloration and texture of the amazing coat from the American Eskimo dog, although the coat is not as dense, making it easier for the dog in hotter climates. The American Eagle Dog has a friendly outgoing personality, is eager to please, loves activity and games, and likes to be with its human family.
