Spotlight Breed: Eskipoo 

Welcome to our Spotlight Breed article of the week. We are excited to help you learn more about a fun and unique dog breed from around the globe! Our spotlight breed of the week is the Eskipoo, a crossbreed of the American Eskimo Dog and the Poodle. Given their parent breeds, this crossbreed has a personality you will learn to love. There is much to learn about the Eskipoo, so please continue reading!

The Eskipoo’s parents come from different backgrounds. The Poodle is known for its intelligence, and the American Eskimo Dog is known for sensitivity and friendliness. Since the Eskipoo is a crossbreed, they are likely to be found for adoption, but you never know when the opportunity will present itself.

Let’s talk about the adaptability of the Eskipoo. Our research shows that the breed does not adapt well to small houses or apartments. The reason is that they thrive on mental and physical stimulation. They will become bored and destructive if they do not have the necessary space for psychological and physical activities. Furthermore, the breed does not enjoy being alone for long periods. This is not a breed for you if you are away from the house for long periods.

The Eskipoo gets their friendliness from the American Eskimo Dog parent. The breed loves to form bonds with its family. They are also friendly around kids and other dogs. You may have difficulties while the Eskipoo is around strangers as they may become anxious. We recommend that you enroll the Eskipoo in basic obedience and socialization training. This will help strengthen their skills and allow them to be more confident around strangers.

You shouldn’t run into many issues while training the Eskipoo. This breed is intelligent and will show you what they are capable of! They can form an association between a prompt, action, and consequence. We recommend positive reinforcement with this breed because they love being rewarded for a well-done job!

Are you looking for a breed that is intelligent, friendly, and fun? If so, the Eskipoo may be for you! We will leave you with our favorite quote about the breed: “We don’t always need advice. Sometimes, all we need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen to, and a heart that understands. Sometimes all we need is an Eskipoo.”
