Eskimos have a very high intelligence and have a huge urge to please, which makes them easy to train and super in a obedience course.
Yes, they are naturally on guard. Untill they are allowed to meet new people they will protect their home and their families very well.
Yes, BUT they must be taken on long walks daily.
They still need to be taken on walks. Eskimos have a high migration
instinct, which makes a yard that they can run free on good But they still need good sized walks. Most eskies live between 12-17 years.
Eskimos need to be social, with they meet new dogs it is best with they are out of “their territory”, maybe do to a park or somewhere new. Let both dogs see new each other and they should be playing in a matter of minutes. With new people the same rules apply try taking them out of the home and introduce them first.
Most of my female eskimos were a lot more territorial than my males. They barked at strangers more and were more weary of stragers.
If you are looking for just PET(non-breeding) dogs then it is all up to the dogs really. A with some males they will not allow other males into their home easily(getting both males fixed does reduce the aggression though) and some females will be the same. If all your dogs are fixed there is less aggression and fighting, but normally it depends on the dogs attitude.
YES! Like all long haired breeds of dogs, there is a time after puppyhood before adulthood where the pup will loose all of it's puppy hair. Just like people, some more than others...but sometimes they will go through a stage where they have no hair. They're all legs and ears. It will be a kinda wierd looking thing at some time, and you may even think "What the hell did this lady sell me??" Trust me they grow out of it. Haha.
