Unrelated to the working sled dogs and possessing a beautiful snow-white coat, American Eskimo Dogs are highly intelligent, alert, and friendly. The Barnum & Bailey Circus popularized this breed throughout the United States when an "eskie" named Pal Pierre was the first dog ever to walk a tightrope. The breed was officially recognized by the AKC in July 1995. This calendar presents a collection of American Eskimo dogs, both puppies and adults.
