 Our first American Eskimos
In 1985 our son Jack (a young teen at the time) asked for a puppy. After working all summer mowing yards and doing extra chores, he had earned enough money so we made the trip to the big city and to a pet store and purchased a darling white puppy we named Spike. Spike was a 9-week-old miniature American Eskimo. From his first obedience class at 5 months old, Spike was a star! Smart, personable, cute, we just HAD to take him to an American Eskimo show. Wonder of wonders, he won Best Miniature Male in the conformation show and got a qualifying score in the obedience trial! We were hooked on showing! Next step: "Let's get Spike a mate!" Ginger arrived to be with our family the year after Spike. It didn't take too many shows, however, to realize that neither Spike nor Ginger were "show quality". We decided to breed our way up to prize winning Eskies. We bred Spike to a very nice miniature female and kept the litter "pick", a darling puppy we named Beau. Just short of his six-month birthday he chased a squirrel into the street and in the path of an oncoming car. The car won. Devastation, depression, and self pity set in quickly.
