American Eskimo Dogs are loyal loving family members.
Do not separate them from living with you.
Pens are ok only for housebreaking or to keep a young pup safe, otherwise, they need to be involved with their family constantly. Play, take walks, watch tv with your pup.
However, they are not needy, in fact, they adore their family and make it their goal to bring happiness to their people. They will adjust to your life style as long as they are included.
You will find them at your feet, perched on the back of a couch or chair with an eye on you always making sure you are ok.
They are smart and learn quickly.
Not only are they the "Beautiful Dog" they are the best.
