History
Canadian Eskimo Dog History & Lineage
The Canadian Eskimo Dog is believed to have descended from ancient local breeds, domesticated and bred by the Thule people who inhabited the area around 1,000 years ago.
For centuries these dogs were predominantly used as working dogs with a strong prey drive, as they would often have to forage and hunt for their own food. In recent times, these dogs have still been finding their way into the workforce, able to learn a variety of tasks. However, they have been growing in popularity among those looking for a family pet as well.
Today, many of these dogs find themselves in loving homes as pets, rather than working companions. Their affection and fierce loyalty has made them a favorite among many dog lovers in North America as well as abroad.
