Overview
The Eskipoo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Poodle and an American Eskimo.

Temperament
These little dogs love to play, love to cuddle, and love nothing more than getting attention from their favorite humans. Their affectionate, gentle nature and playful, friendly personality make them a great fit for families. They tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets.
Although they do tend to be open and friendly with strangers once introduced, they also tend to bark to alert you of people, animals, etc. nearby. Because of this, it’s important to train your dog to stop barking early on to help keep it from becoming a nuisance.
