My wife and I have had huge Malamutes (more than a hundred pounds each) and we thought we had seen all the types of Eskimo dogs, until we rescued this little guy. We call him Foxy. My wife was walking him and a lady said, Oh, he is an American Eskimo dog. My wife said, No, he is just a mixed breed. The lady said no, he is an American Eskimo dog - not a husky or a Malamute. So, we looked it up on the web and the lady was right. Look on the web and you will see a picture of one just like him.
