Learn to know what dog speak

What is your dog trying to say? Sometimes it’s hard to tell.

That’s because dogs speak using body language.
Just type a word into our handy canine translator to see what your pooch is trying to tell you.

American Eskimo Dog

The American Eskimo Dog is a breed of companion dog originating in the United States of America (probably in New York City) in the twentieth century. The breed was formerly called a German Spitz or an "American Eskimo Spitz". It is a member of the Spitz family of dogs. It achieved a high degree of popularity in the 1930s and 1940s in the U.S. as a circus performer. The very first dog to walk a tightrope was an American Eskimo. The breed became popular as circuses would sell the puppies during their travels across the nation. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1994 and set the current standard for the breed. The United Kennel Club had recognized the breed long before 1994, and there is no difference between the two breed standards.

Temperament

Puppy at 11 weeks
American Eskimos were bred to be companion dogs, not just the family dog to put outside when they bother their owners. They thrive on being a part of their human family. Eskies love their families, and a well-socialized dog is more of a pleasure to own. Eskies are easily trained and very intelligent, as well as being strong-willed and independent. At home, Eskies make excellent watchdogs, barking to announce the presence of strangers. The Eskie can be protective of its home and family, but it shouldn't threaten to attack or bite a person(unless the person provoked the attack). American Eskimos must be trained early in age to come to their master. They do not respond well to aggressive dicipline. Spanking an American Eskimo for its mistake may result in a growling war instead of punishment. Make sure to research the dog's parents as their temperament may vary due to inheritance. If an Eskie has been hurt by someone, it may lose trust in that being, become very defensive around them, and may even snap or bite.

The breed lives on average between 12 and 14 years, although some individuals might as long as 20 years or longer.


Pomeranian, also called Pom

The Pomeranian is a breed of dog in the spitz family, named for the Pomerania region in Central Europe, which is today part of northern Poland and part of modern eastern Germany, and classed as a toy dog breed because of its small size.

The Pomeranian is a very active dog who is intelligent, courageous, and a loyal companion. The Pomeranian may not interact well with small children, and due to its small size can suffer abuse from children. Pomeranians can be trained to be good watchdogs by announcing intruders with loud, sharp barks. Unfortunately, lack of very dedicated training has instead led this breed to a reputation for constant, undirected barking. For this reason, these dogs are more often dangerously ineffective watchdogs, and can prove very stressful company for those unaccustomed to their vocal nature. The Pomeranian easily adapts to life in the city, and is an excellent dog for country living with its strong hunting instincts from its wild ancestors.
Pomeranians are generally a healthy, hardy, and long-lived breed often live 12 to 16 years.
