Canadian Eskimo Dogs were once so popular that their number was estimated at more than 20,000. But by 1970, the breed had almost disappeared. This sharp population decrease caused the American Kennel Club to drop the breed from its registries. In response, a multi-stakeholder group—which included the Canadian Kennel Club—formed the Canadian Eskimo Dog Research Foundation in Canada's Northwest Territories to help restore the breed.
The Canadian Eskimo Dog has been recognized as one of Canada's oldest breeds and become an icon of Canadian culture. The breed was featured on a postage stamp and the 50-cent piece. And it was chosen as the animal symbol of the Nunavut territory in Canada.
Training
Training should begin when Canadian Eskimo Dogs are puppies. Positive, reward-based methods will help establish a pack order with you, not the dog, as the leader.
Dog Breeds Name
When choosing a name for your dog, you will want to consider something that suits your dog's personality, but one that isn't so complicated that you can barely get the word out! Simple is often best. The Canadian Eskimo Dog is a really good looking dog, plus they are lively and outgoing which you will want to hint at when choosing a name.
