CANADIAN ESKIMO DOG STANDARDS
The breed standard for the Canadian Eskimo Dog is the longest of the standards recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club. Due to the variety of colours, size, and coat type many individuals have problems recognizing a true Canadian Eskimo Dog. This section will inform you of some of the more recognizable features that are common to a Canadian Eskimo Dog.
Interest:
Watching some of these Canadian Eskimo Dog directly out of the Yukon eat can be a startling experience: they can catch an 18-inch frozen fish and down it completely in two bites. It happens so fast, the fish never even touches the ground.
