The Canadian Eskimo Dog is typical of the large spitz-type with their thick, plush coat, pricked ears, and a tail that curls over the back. This is a striking and powerful dog built to work hard in harsh, icy conditions, but one that will do so with a smile on its face. When in a pack mentality, whether with humans or dogs, these puffballs thrive.
