Eskijack

There is not a lot of information on the Eskijack breed itself, but we can learn about the parent breeds in order to understand what to expect from the hybrid breed. A relative of the German Spitz, the American Eskimo was once called an American Spitz. Due to a desire to distance the breed from its German lineage during war time, the name was changed to the American Eskimo Dog. Known for his startling white coat, this breed is of ancient bloodline and for centuries was a brave defender of property and people.He was also a circus performer, enjoyed for his agility and beauty. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1994. Strictly a hunting dog, the Jack Russell Terrier was a favorite of hunters due to his keen scent and excellent ability to flush foxes from their dens. He hunted with larger hounds and did the investigative work for them. From England, this terrier was brought to the United States in the 1930s. Recognized in 1997 by the American Kennel Club, his name was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier in the AKC's books in 2003. This canine is still sturdy and fast and now spends his time as an adored companion.
