Colors:
The American Eskimo comes only in two colors the most common being white followed by a biscuit cream color. They are usually solid colors and do not have any markings on them.
Other information:
The American Eskimo is a very intelligent dog and is very easily trained which is why they are very popular in circuses. They are neither overly friendly nor are they aggressive in nature and purebreds do not exhibit these traits. They have a twin coat of hair and shed copiously. Since these dogs are very active by nature, they require a lot of exercise although this can be done in your yard itself because of their small size.
